Hey guys/gals. I am running Red Alert 3 standard, stand alone variety on Steam. Windows 10 64 bit. Nothing in the log file so no point posting/pasting it. 

At first I had no idea what was going wrong, as RA3 does seem to be hooked to some degree, as running it through Steam was bringing up the C&C:O launcher, but when launching the game from there I would get the splash screen loading box thing, and then it would drop back to the launcher.

After a reinstall, I don't even get the C&C:O launcher when I try and run RA3 through Steam; I just get a fraction of a second of the usual Steam loading box you get for every game, and then nothing. In both cases I got no error messages of any kind.

 

So after doing some digging I realised that I should be getting a confirmation prompt when trying to hook RA3; I never saw anything like that either time. So I checked in case any AV software was interfering, but I don't use anything that is real time, the only thing is Windows Defender, and even after disabling it and reinstalling C&C:O, I still don't get a prompt. However, this whole time C&C:O has got the tick next to Red Alert 3 suggesting it thinks it is hooked.

I tried searching more but I am all out of ideas sorry.

The "confirmation prompt" refers to the UAC window, where Windows ask you if you allow "ifeo.exe" to run. If you run C&C:Online with administrator privileges, you won't get any confirmation prompt. If you have a tick next to Red Alert 3 then it means it's hooked.

 

Firstly you need to make sure that when you start RA3 from Steam you should see a C&C:Online launcher instead of RA3 splash screen; If that doesn't happen, try to rehook C&C:Online with/without admin privileges and run Steam with/without admin privileges.

 

If you failed to launch RA3 from the automatically opened launcher, try this:
