No worries about slow reply, I am just happy to get a reply


There wasn't a Key in the registry so i have added one, confirmed with my own computer that i had done it right.

Unfortunately that didn't work.

However i did see a difference in the Red Alert Folder between hers and my computer : https://prntscr.com/i1vexk

I dont know if it has any meaning to our problem so i have taken a screen shot of hers and mine (the blacked out on her screenshot seems to be the gaming key in hex? Unsure so blocked it out to be safe.)
 

 

Regarding your other solution, i had done that already after reading it from another post on the forum

Hm... I'll have a look into this, to see there's any other options.

Just bizarre why there's a difference between both computers, a certain logic I don't get.

I assume you are both using a stand-alone RA3 game, and not the Ultimate Collection?

I did noticed the Registry path between the two of you differs. o.o

 

In worst case I have Red Alert 3 on Origin as well next to Steam, in theory I could try stuff out to see where the problem comes from.

 

 

When it comes to the launcher, I'd suggest we'll find a fix for this Registry problem first before moving to the next step since I'm not 100% sure yet if it could be related with an issue with the game or the launcher itself.

 

I'll let you know when I know more about this Registry issue.

Update

Scratch the below removed described stuff, I've replicated the issue. It's from the looks of this something with Origin, though I have had 0 problems with the Steam version. </3
Currently looking into this to see if there's a silly oversight somewhere.
I'll let you know when we know more about this.

Update 2:

Problem solved.
You most likely made the folder in the wrong location.
The correct path is: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\electronic arts\electronic arts\Red Alert 3\ergc (Retail/Standalone copy users, make sure you've accessed electronic arts key twice)
In the screenshot, the path seems to be: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3\ergc <- Wrong path, remove this and place the key and product key info in the path described above. That should do the trick. At least it did in my case.
If the problem is still there there's one last alternative.

Let me know if this is the fix.

OP responded, and has been confirmed this is the fix.

It worked! Awsome  

Thanks a lot for the assistance

My problem was that the folder ergc was ergc; (with semilcolon!) 

I can't find The License Key to Red Alert 3 on Origin. So i don't know what to write in the "(Default)". I have tried to make this work for days, can you please help?

Go to My Game Library.

 

Then, right click on the Red Alert 3 game and choose Game Properties.

 

The CD Key is right there. ^-^

Thanks, i found the key, but when i try to enter Online i just get the message: "Could not connect to the backend server." :(( 

That may have to do with hooking.

 

Please make you first hook Red Alert 3 in the launcher.

Then close the launcher and start Red Alert 3 by shortcut.

 

To the left click on Red Alert 3 button to the left and you're all set.

Thanks. I dont know what i did wrong. It just said "Registry is corrupt and has been altered." and then i got an error from C&C Online saying: "CA Public key patching routine failed." 

Make sure the Registry Key path is correct.

 

I assume you're a 64-bit user.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\electronic arts\electronic arts\Red Alert 3\ergc

- When I launch my game using the C&C:Online launcher, I get the following error: "CA public key patching routine failed"
Solution: Try setting the launcher to Windows XP compatibility mode.

I just tried that too, but it also didn't work. Guess i will just give up on this impossible project. :/
