I have been having issues trying to get C&C Online to work with the Steam version of Red Alert 3.
Trying to launch the game via the C&C Online application shows the splash-screen for about 30 seconds, which then closes with an application load error.
Hooking the launcher into the game in accordance with the solution for Steam users presented in the "common issues and solutions" thread causes the game to not start at all (no splash screen).
The above has been atempted while running as admin and with/without compatibility mode(XP).
Note that the error logs below is from a friend that suffers the same issue, with the same game and trying the same solutions on the same OS (Windows 7). This is due to the fact that C&C Online fails to produce error logs on my device.
