hi guys, i wanna play Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge LAN (Multiplayer gameplay) at home with my friends but WITHOUT using Hamachi because i wanna play the game with just ONLY 100% pure Local Area Network (no delay & lagness)

since Hamachi is just a virtual LAN (NOT 100% pure Local Area Network), therefore it got some delay & lagness, right?

so guys, any idea how can i play the game with friend at home with just only Network Card & Router?

my computer: Desktop PC
friend's computer: Laptop PC
router: Buffalo Router WHR-HP-G54

i also got think before wanna connect the both PC WITHOUT using router (try to reduce delay & lagness) but just ONLY using simple LAN Cable to connect each other. Is it possible?

P/S: pls don't close this thread because my games are original Genuine.
P/S: pls don't SPAM to ask me to go play new Red Alert 3.

Thank you!!!

just get a cross cable, dats all................

btw, hamachi works well for me.
i even ply 8 players c&c3 wit it with out problem.

hi all ,off topic here,
why cant play red aler 2 in windows vista??
im using windows vista premium...

may b OS not compatible?
RA2 is old game................i nvr try on vista b4

oic,thanks for the info

i run at windows XP ok,
but when running at vista,got script error something like that,
but its still ok,can play at my pc,hehe

thanks for the info

theres something to download , i dont quite remember.

for mildlo , try change the compability section

yup... suppose the compatible thingy can solve the prob...
so far i dun have any prob to run old program...

yeah.

red alert 2 & yuri revenge doesn't even works well on xp. i encounter some random crashes last time.
best is 2 play under 98.

by the way, is it true that if i play the game through Hamachi (also known as the Virtual LAN), there will be also NO delay & lagness like pure Local Area Network experience?

because i really wanna play a ZERO delay & lagness multiplayer game...

no use play the ra2 with lan, because cannot play, when you select network, it jumps back to the menu, play latest c&c lah

@nelienuxe_sara

thanks all,but can u all tell me how to change the compatibility configuration???

i noob in vista..

technically speaking, virtual lan will nvr has much bandwidth as real LAN setting.

but i'm impress wit hamachi. i've been using it since cs & diablo 2, no problem @ all.
just now a bit worry coz there hasn't been any hamachi update since long time...........
wat happen?
btw, hamachi works on vista as well.
try the simplest way 1st.
right click on the game icon > properties > compatibility > run under 98 mode.
