If you have .NET 4 installed, and the launcher doesn't work, you have to install 3.0 and 3.5 manually. Newer Windows versions come with .NET 4 built-in, but not necessarily with older .NET variants.
I also think .NET 4 might prevent older versions from being installed (despite being a completely different thing), so if you're having problems with that, uninstall it, and install it again later.

Or do as Cobra did, download Ares, and run the RunAres.bat file. Then you can skip the launcher.

Hi everyone. I've found this "RA2YR mod" (MO) and I have tried to let it work, but unfortunatly I've encountered some errors. I'm using the FIRST DECADE edition (maybe is an useful information).

After the Installation of RA2 + YURI, i've tried to install MO. It worked.

Later I've tried to launch the game, but I've faced firstly BINKW32.dll problem (solved), and now this that starts with this screen and a fatal error with a report.

Anything I could do? Any solution? Maybe I've forgotten something and I don't know. I've also applied compatibility to XP(service pack 3) and administration rights at all RA2, YURI and MO "exe" file.

Help me ç___ç (ask me for more information if I have omitted something).

Thank you.

Can I have a download link to Ares and a little guide on how to use it? Im afraid I install the wrong one

[mevitar]

There is only one version available, and you need only the RunAres.bat file from it anyway.

Every time I launch the game I always get this notification, "something went wrong while trying to connect to the server.  Please try again later."  I have tried letting the app through the firewall, disabling my anti virus, reinstalling the game several times (both the mods and RA) removing Wsock32.dll doing stuff with CnC.net and it is all to no avail.  I've been at this for months and I still have no idea how to fix this.  

[CLAlstar]

Do not use option "connect to cncnet" because there is no server to connect to. Just simply use "Launch Mental Omega".

[mrgdyr]

i know this topic is pretty old but if anyone can help that would be great.

 

i have just installed mo3.0 and i cannot get it to launch at all, i have no previous mods in the directory.

Hello people!

 

I'm having an odd problem that I can's seem to figure out the solution to.

 

When I click the update button, the following message appeares:

 

Something went wrong while trying to connect to the server. Please try again later.

 

I've been trying this every day for about a week now, and am beginning to wonder what the issue might be. Are the servers down?

 

Running on windows 10. The game works perfectly in beta build 1, but I'm trying to update to build 2.

 

Any feedback on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[Solais]

There's no "Build 2" yet.

[Peringvar]

Revision 2 I mean.

[yunru the gundealer]

Revision 2 I mean.

its called 3.3 now

[Peringvar]

So, back to my question, are the servers down, or is this a issue only I get?

[Solais]

There are no updates released yet.
