*** Red Alert 3 ***

got it today, the premium edition looking forward to playing it online the intro is as I would have thought awsome:-)
 
patch 1.02 been release patch notes :nothing on 1.02

Patch 1.02 apparently reduces the "aggressive" patch checking done on startup whatever that means! It's meant to resolve the black screen a lot of people were getting when starting the game as the game checks for patches or something like that. I havent had it but my housemate always had to sit at a black screen for a few minutes before the menu appeared!
 
The black screen I think is caused by the game checking for updates but the servers are either down or getting hammered, it times out after a while. 1.02 was supposed to fix it but to be honest it made no difference.
 
It fixed it for me - on another note I wasn't so sure about this game but I love it now, the campaign is so much more fun than the Command and Conquer 3 one!

The game is so much more polished than the Beta as well.
 
brilliant game!

the best of the C&C series imo!

i actually really like the co-commander, it makes the battle seem more epic when you've got an ally plugging away on the other side of the map

in a way i'm glad my router is broken since i have a tendancy of skipping straight to online play, but so far the USSR campaign is really enjoyable (when you get to the real base-building missions).
 
Finally got my game working, played a skirmish game is awesome, bit slow but i find it quite like RA2 so i'm liking it, the outlines are the only downside to the graphics
 
guys, need huge help, i install... go to play, first time i got to the point where it told me about the multiplayer and clicked ok, but the game just crashes, background music plays, ingame mouse is movable but black screen..

everytime i start the game i get to the black screen (what should be a menu) with music playing and mouse moving, TM reports it as not responding everytime.

ive tried everything
