EDIT: Everything was started as Admin

 

I followed all steps presented in the "Common issues" post that was pinned at the top

Searched for the Red Alert 3 Tag to search for detailed issues, most posts are abandon without solution.

 

So here i go.

 

What i did:

Launched the game via Shortcut on Desktop to open the C&C Launcher (While Hooked.)

Tried Launching the game via C&C Launcher (While not Hooked.)

Tried Starting the game via Steam Libary while the C&C Launcher was on (While Hooked.)

Tried Launching the game without C&C Launcher (While Hooked)

 

Current Problems:

Game closes on every method, and on some doesnt even attempt starting without an error presented.

Game no longer launches.

Cannot Unhook the game.

 

What i found out:

The problem seems to happen mostly to Windows 10 users.

The game wont launch even when removing the C&C Launcher

 

Not being able to play the game solo at this point got me really miffed.

Anyone got a collection of possible fixes? Im not a Software Guru so im not able to do any magical, technical wonders.

Got the same issues.

Using the Steam Version of the Game.

I get multiple errors that it cannot launch, or it doesn't launch at all without error message.

I use Windows 7 tho.

Game worked fine before a friend wanted to play with me, hence tried to use C&C Online. Bad choice, it completely broke Red Alert 3. 

I followed the troubleshooting, yet nothing works.

"CA public key patching routine failed" often means you need to run the launcher in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode.

I followed the troubleshooting, yet nothing works.

 

Don't you think i tried?  :glare: Same error persists after setting the compatibility mode.

Use Win 7 compatibility for RA3

@Mia Ishata we still don't have your error log.

@EyeOculus Try (unhooking if you're still hooked) deleting the short cut you made and close Steam. Then run Steam as administrator and make another shortcut. Run the launcher as administrator, hook and try again. Please post the error log from that.

Same error message as above. And Red Alert 3 still refuses to start, even after a reinstall. What exactly does C&C Online change, so i can purge the game manually?

If it's not hooked, the launcher does not change anything.

Encountering the same problem: Cannot unhook Red Alert 3 even with uninstalling cnconline. Starting RA3 with cnconline starts the launcher, clicking RA3 starts the splash screen and within 15 seconds, both of it closes down without anything happening. No error message, no error log in temp either. When uninstalling cnconline, RA3 doesn't even come up with a splash screen anymore when starting it from Steam.

 

Using Win10 upgraded from Win7

 

I am running the launcher in compatibility mode for XP SP3, running RA3 in compatibility mode for Win7, both of it being run as administrator, firewall (ESET) exception added to cnconline.exe, UAC fully disabled.

 

I have read all solution threads and F.A.Q. and tried every step in the correct order of them being listed to no avail.

 

Edit:

 

Re-installing RA3 and then adding RA3.exe, cnconline.exe AND ifeo.exe to all my firewall exceptions before trying to hook solved everything on the first try.

 

I beg of you, put that into the FAQ, I lost almost three hours of my life getting this to finally work which could have been just five minutes.

I imagine that it was reinstalling RA3 after the upgrade that did the trick for you, rather than making changes to your firewall settings? We will look at that.
