I have read the how-to thread and the common issues thread. I'm on Windows 8.1, and am having trouble with the Steam version of Red Alert 3.

It used to work perfectly and was hooked fine on the desktop shortcut, the steam menu, and the online launcher, but all of a sudden it stopped working completely. Now I can only play Red Alert 3 via the launcher manually and not any shortcuts. Otherwise it either tries to load with nothing showing up before disengaging or showing the splash screen for a few seconds before disengaging.

There is no error log in the temp files.

I've tried checking the integrity of the Red Alert 3 cache and game files, creating new shortcuts, running as administrator, reinstalling everything. Nothing worked.

Also, no notifications come up when hooking stuff.

Hello everybody. I have read the how-to thread, and have both Generals and Zero Hour patched to 1.8 and 1.04 respectively, installed via First Decade, and hooked into the C&C Online launcher, but whenever I try to launch the games through the launcher or via the hooked shortcut, it gives me the error message "Unable to launch Generals" or Zero Hour.

I'm on Windows 8.1, and have gotten Kane's Wrath, Red Alert 3, and Tiberium Wars all to work with the launcher; Generals/Zero Hour do launch correctly normally, but not with the launcher.
