Hello, here is a little tutorial that could be of interest to everyone! How to play Red Alert 3 online
It's very simple, I found it on a discord thanks to a member called Jacmac!
first of all I advise you to use Radmin VPN
here's a link to download it! https://www.radmin-vpn.com
after installing create an account then create a network so that people can join you on the same network (normally it's for lan play! but I've noticed that it also works for online mode on red alert 3! that's good news! isn't it?
Now that Radmin is turned on! and the network created! you can launch C&C Online, adding the hook for the game in question! once you've closed C&C Online! and launched the Red Alert 3 game directly, the C&C Online window will open on its own, selecting Red Alert 3.
but before you do that!
Follow the tutorial below!
