C&C Red Alert 3 - CA public key patching routine failed.


Best Answer Marszalek, 15 February 2019 - 08:48 PM

FIXED!!!

Had to go into the steam local files, change compatibility mode for the runme.exe and ra3.exe files to Windows XP (SP3). Once they were all set to this, I was able to launch the C&C Online launcher by clicking on the icon on my desktop, the game launched after about a 20 second delay without any issues.

Currently logged in, I closed the game and restarted everything to see if it was fixed. Appears so.

 

Attached is a screenshot of where you can find the local files for novices such as I who may be having the same issue:

Hey! Bought the game, loved the solo campaign, decided to buy it for a friend so we could co-op campaign together.

I'm running Windows 7, have made sure the C&C Launcher is set to run in XP, have read the common issues pinned post, and am unable to launch the game.

 

Windows 7 Enterprise

Steam version of C&C - bought it standalone.

 

Error log messages (I noted that if I repeatedly attempt to launch the game, it maps PID progress but gives the CA public key error, twice I've gotten the CA error to go away, but the game crashes) :
