I'm having multiple issues trying to launch MO (I followed all of the instructions). This is the rundown of what happens:
1. When I launch the Mental Omega Launcher i get "Something went wrong while trying to connect to the server. Please try again later" (I have 3 bars on WiFi)
2. I then click on "Play on CnCNet [0]" which does nothing, first i get a message saying "Connecting to CnCNet in 3...2...1... seconds", then the message box disappears and the mouse gets that loading circle and it stops after a few seconds. This only creates wsock32.dll in the directory
3. I click "Play on CnCNet [0]" again and get this message: "Couldn't replace wsock32.dll. Please remove the file from your game directory for auto-update to work". I click Ok and this comes up "Couldn't replace wsock32.dll. Check your permissions!"
4. I delete wsock32.dll from the RA2 directory and retry, this only creates wsock32.dll again, its step 2 again
This is where I am now. Regular offline MO ("Launch Mental Omega" button on the launcher) works fine (although it has no theme music but still sound effs and voice, presumably because I haven't yet installed the soundtrack file). I have tried everything I can think of. I tried it with Update on startup on and off, I reinstalled Mental Omega and redid the whole process a few times over in multiple directories, everything. I have no other mods except for Yuri's Revenge CnCNet which I assume is compatible since both are on CnCNet.
My RA2 is the Ultimate Collection version on Origin and the directory is: Data (D:) > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > Command and Conquer Red Alert II
Windows 10, 8GB ram, and I downloaded it from the link on the MO website from ModDB its version 3 up to date
