There's at least 5 games in the C&C installment, and it's very difficult to tell which one is being referred to (even when you provide a name of an RA2 map such as Urban Rush.) > >Now is it because i have these add ons, as when i try to update the game as >it says i get a message saying it cant etc etc. Describe the message - usually that's an indication about the problem itself. When in dobut, there are patches that can be downloaded from various webpages - the version you should be looking for is the 1.006 patch for RA2, or the 1.001 patch for YR. >The game was a copy but loved it so much got a origonal, i stopped buying >games right out as 99% i only play once........... > >Are the add on maps the problem? I have a unused orig key that i could use, >i really dont want to lose all my maps and scores etc. For online play, scores and stats are bound to either an account, or are stored in files on your local hard drive. Changing the CD-key won't affect either of these. >BTW is online skirmsh great fun? >I play tactical for hours rather than a quick kill RA2 is focused on quick combat, especially considering some of the tactics available that involve quick destruction of enemy bases. You won't see many long games appearing for online play.
