tried all of the posted solutions for my steam version of red alert 3. not one worked. stills says unable to connect to server when i login in redalert 3. i'm guess its because i have windows 10 and no games nowadays seem to support it.

Hey fam i purchased Red Alert 3 yesterday and got it up and running today (steam version). I am on windows 10 and as far as I know everything is running as it should be. Downloaded the CnC online installer and can connect to servers too

C&C:Online does support Windows 10 with Steam (it's the disk versions of the games which don't). To play from Steam, you probably need to Hook your game. See Common Issues & Solutions under "Launcher Issues".


- I'm having trouble using C&C:Online with Steam.
- Solution: Open the C&C:Online launcher and use the Hook menu to hook your game.
1. Go into Steam and create a desktop shortcut for your game.
2. Open the C&C:Online launcher and go to the hooking menu. Hook your game. When Hooking, you should receive a prompt asking for your confirmation, this is how you know it worked. If you don't receive anything and the issue still occurs, check your anti-virus (Norton especially) as they are known to delete the hooking file. Add an exception for C&C:Online.
3. Launch the game using the shortcut Steam made for it on your desktop (if you don't have a shortcut, go into Steam and make one). The launcher should pop up, so select your game and off you go
