To say I'm furious with this purchase is an understatement. I just tried to have a LAN game of Yuri's Revenge with a mate.

- Yuri's Revenge took about 5-10 minutes to load on BOTH PCs. We do a search for help and "Yuri's Revenge is not supported by XP" and whilst this problem is acknowledge, there is no cure, bar “switching the CD to the other CD drive” which is impossible when you have just one CD drive. It sounds like the help support technician just decided to write something for the fun of it.

- After the 5-10 mins, we start a network game and it doesn't load. After the game begins to load, it just freezes.

- We decide to try the normal RA2 and it's slower than Rick Waller running uphill. On both computers, it freezes every 5 seconds for 1 second in BOTH Skirmish and Network. Thus, it is a performance issue.

And so, after 2 hours of trying to get it working - we give up. This is PATHETIC. You just DO NOT pay for something that is loaded full of bugs. I am really, really annoyed! My hatred towards EA is restored once again!

Anyone experienced similar problems?
 
And what's more is you can't set the compatability in XP to 98/ME. You have to launch the games through the First Decade main menu. If you browse to the install folders and launch the EXE files it claims the incorrect CD is in the drive. Maybe it's a security thing!
