Background: Red Alert / Red Alert II / C&C / Tiberium Sun uses IPX for LAN play. According to AppDB, this works, at least for Red Alert II (Orginal RA is not on the first page of Google results...), but it requires Wine to be run as root. Since I do not have IPX installed and I'm not normally in a mood to recompile my kernel, and the Windows users that I want to play against do want to

RA2:YR is a 2D game - I think it probably uses DirectDraw. It runs slower with 0.9.16 and now the in game cursor flickers. Besides minor audio problems it ran fine in 0.9.15. I tried setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer to "gdi". It made no difference. Is that the corrent way to turn off the new DirectDraw changes?

Hi to everybody, I'm writing to ask your help in playing LAN games with Red alert 2. some data: I'm using wine 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 10.04, with kernel 2.6.32-27-generic the game is Red alert 2, with patch 1.006. What I would like to do is playing LAN games, using the UDP patch given at understorm at http://www.understorm.net/downloads/ts_ra2_lanpatch_1_00.zip What I made is copy the

When I worked on Wine's ipx code for Red Alert and friends posix file capabilities weren't around yet. I haven't used them yet. You can find info about it on http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posixcap.html I think that you need to set the property on wineserver.

Using posix file capabilties you can give wine only root permissions for creating raw sockets. A lot of distributions are doing something similar these days for ping which also required complete root permissions before.

I've heard a lot of people talk about being able to run Red Alert under Wine, but I don't seem to be able to do it. I have installed red alert to /windows/D/wine/games/redalert using # wine -winver win95 /cdrom/setup.exe This then runs through the installer OK, but when I try to start RA using: # cd /windows/D/wine/games/redalert # wine -winver win95 ra.exe After a short time, the

Hi all, I am currently attempting to play Red Alert 2 on my Ubuntu 11.10 installation under Wine. Now, Red Alert 2 will launch fine, as expected on a Windows machine. The most minor error is the campaign selection screen where it takes an "alt-tab" to respond. I'm not so worried about this error. However, when I enter a single player game (Skirmish or Campaign), whenever the game

Installed Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 on a mounted drive (wine 1.2.2) . Used Crack + Patch. All text is missing, including button text and description including game popups. Any help will be appreciated

I have a couple of problems when running Red Alert under WINE 20010326 on SuSE 7.2. Firstly, I run at 1024x768. When I run Red Alert it automatically drops the resolution to 640x480, however, it keeps the desktop at 1024x768, hence a virtual desktop. This is a great problem, as when I try to move acorss the RA map, I end up moving acorss the desktop! Also, when it runs "full screen"

When I try to run C&C: Red Alert 2 (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=252&iTestingId=35145)'s Setup.exe, it just exits without giving me any messages (error or otherwise).

You can try this, or check multiple solutions on the bug report URL I posted here. Lan play seems to be different from online play and you might have luck. With hamachi, however, no matter what I do it'll always fail.

ive mounted the iso, i ran setup.exe and as it tries to installs it says it needs windows 95, ive configured wine to windows 95 and tried installing again, the same error pops up. what am i doing wrong? thanks for any replies..

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol. Now there is a network card shown in the settings [2] and the network menu opens ingame now. I have set up Red Alert 2 on different

Code: 1. First establish a VPN. I use a bridged VPN set up with OpenVPN. It works fine. The VPN client created a tap0 interface with the IP 11.0.0.3. 2.
