Just downloaded RA3 again. I have the physsical copy of it. It worked fine, but I wanted to play online as well so I downloaded CNC: Online aswell and now neither works. I have had both installed before where it worked with no problems. I dont get a error message or anything. I click on RA3 in the CNC: Online client and then simple nothing happens. I use Windows 10

I have fiddle around with it and it is just straight up RA3 who will not launch. I have deleted CNC: Online for now so that is how I know. Help is still much appreciated.

[JPBP]

And just to add. I had opened RA3 shortly before I was told that I had to download the latest patches to play online. Of course I do that and at the same time download CNC: Online. Since it has not been able to launch.

I have fiddled with it again and now it says "public key patching routine failed". The same problem as this thread https://forums.revor...routine-failed/

Can you make sure your game version is 1.12? You can check that in game's settings - "general" tab.

It could be possible that your game still loaded a lower version even after installing the update patch.

[JPBP]

I can't open up the game and I assume you have to be in the game menu to see what you are refering to. Is there another way that I can check if I do not have the newest patch?

Are you still able to launch the game if you don't use C&C:Online?

Nope. I get a

You might have build the wrong LOD level!

It looks like something went wrong when you installed the 1.12 patch.

As in the screenshot you've posted, the game is loading "RA3_1.9.game" instead of "RA3_1.12.game".

Can you try to reinstall the patch? Also, what's your RA3's language?

My language is English.

 

How do I reinstall the patch? Do I have to delete the current patch folders and try to log into the game again and then download it again or what do you suggest?

[ViperMkVII]

Wait a second, could you post some screenshots of your Red Alert 3 Folder (The folder which contains RA3.exe) and your Red Alert 3\Data Folder (The folder which contains RA3_1.9.game)?

[JPBP]

RA3 folder (I think) = https://imgur.com/QptTscL

 

 

RA3 DATA folder = https://imgur.com/MFNjfW7

[ViperMkVII]

Can you try to move / temporarily remove all those RA3_english_1.x.Skudef, except for RA3_english_1.0.Skudef,

in this way the game will be forced to load the 1.0 version, and then you try to patch the game again.

Also, just to be sure, does your Red Alert 3\Data contains files such as "English.big", "EnglishAudio.big", "GlobalStream.big", "StaticStream.big"?

[JPBP]

My entire data folder is shown in the screenshot so it does not contain those files apprantly

 

I will try your suggestion and get back ASAP

I have a folder called "patch" in my launcher folder. It looks like this https://imgur.com/8tzXtkS

Those files is needed by the game and should exist even in the 1.0 (lowest version) of RA3....

Probably it would be better to reinstall Red Alert 3.
