Red Alert 3

  • Latest official patch: 1.12 --> Use the in-game updater for this!

Source: https://forums.revor...-game-versions/

 

I assume it's a retail copy of Red Alert 3, make sure Red Alert 3 is using 1.12 patch as described above.

So far I know, in worse case you should be able to activate the Product Key @ Origin as well. That's what I did with my retail copy. :p

 

Edit: Please note, if stepping over to Origin. You may get the error message "Registry is corrupt and has been altered" the very moment you're trying to login.

This post should have all the information you need to know regarding the Origin Version problem.

 

 

Regarding the Launcher:

I have sent you a PM with a solution which we're testing. If anyone else wants that solution to try, please make your own topic and post your error log.
