If there's one area where RTS games generally fail to represent a true vision of strategic warfare, it's in their inherent predictability.


C&C Retarded: Red Cocaine is a crazy mix of style, action, and downright pandemonium. It's a hell of a
lot of fun and presents a rather surprising test of your strategic abilities, considering the
laugh-out-loud chaos that goes on. It doesn't skimp on graphical and technical excellence, which
makes this a must-have mod for any C&C fans out there.

Hello guys,

I tried different options to get the Mod Retarded Red Cocaine V1.388 in Red Alert 3(DVD-Version)running through C&COnline;. I have already installed the Red Alert 3 Patch 1.12.
When I start the Mod through the Control Center without C&COnline;, it works fine.
My operating system is WIN 10PRO 64x (DirectX-Version 12).

I tried these steps(every step as admin and in compatibility mode Windows XP SP3)

1.Option:
I hooked the game in C&COnline;. Then I clicked the RA3.exe-shortcut with the -ui parameter to get to the Red Alert 3 Control Center and I started the Mod. After that I got the error "CA Public Key Patching Routine Failed". Thus, the game started.
When I wanted to login (Multiplayer->Online) with my server email and server pw, there was the error "Cannot reach Backend-Server". So, I wasn't able to go online through that way.

2.Option:
I modified the Target value of the RA3.exe-Shortcut in this way that I added after the final quotation mark the following: -modconfig "C:\Users\ [USER NAME]\Documents\Red Alert 3\Mods\ [MOD NAME]\ [MOD NAME]_[VERSION].skudef". This shortcut will normally run the mod by default.
But in my case of Mod, I got the same error message like in 1.Option: "CA Public Key Patching Routine Failed" and when I tried to login (Multiplayer->Online) I got the error "Cannot reach Backend-Server".

3.Option:
I edited the file RA3_german_1.12.skudef in Notepad by adding the following in the top of the file: add-config C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Red Alert 3\Mods\[MOD NAME]\[MOD NAME]_[VERSION].skudef. I saved it and tried to run the game normally by starting C&COnline; and choosing Red Alert 3. When the game started, I got the error "DID YOU REMEMBER TO BUILD DATA???"

My other Mod Insurrection v.1.02 works fine through C&COnline; with option 1, 2 and 3. I made a mistake when I tried the 2nd Option with Mod Insurrection, but now it worked also fine.

Perhaps there is any Mod launcher developed by Bibber like the Fixed Mod Launchers for the Ultimate Collection? (https://cncnz.com/bi...dated-to-v1-20/)

These are the contents of my error log file:

Option 1:

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Red Alert 3
Red Alert 3 Install Path: D:\Spiele\C&C Red Alert 3\
Started game with: ""D:\Spiele\C&C Red Alert 3\RA3.exe" -ui"

Found game.dat process. PID 12756
*** Starting CA public key patching routine ***

Option 2:

Red Alert 3 Install Path: D:\Spiele\C&C Red Alert 3\
Started game with: ""D:\Spiele\C&C Red Alert 3\RA3.exe" -modconfig "C:\Users\Internet\Documents\Red Alert 3\Mods\retarded1\C&C Retarded RC_1.338.skudef""

Found game.dat process. PID 9732

Option 3:

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----

Red Alert 3 Install Path: D:\Spiele\C&C Red Alert 3\
Started game with: "RA3.exe "
Caught CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT from Red Alert 3. Detaching...

Result of injection: Code -1073741582

So, I have no idea anymore to solve this problem.

I would be very thankful if anyone of you could help me to get running the Mod through C&COnline;!

Greetings,
Getfreaky

Wait, is the creator of this mod now the CEO of Vshojo? That would be quite a twist.

To those trying to play this mod again in 2020 or later, you need to have the game run at an older version like 1.07 or 1.08. Whatever was current at the time that open mod support. If you got disk version and patched all the way to modern, I think a trick used to play C&C3TW; campaign at ver. 1.00 can work on Red Alert 3.

In game shortcut I think use "-runver 1.##" maybe?

I know that using this on TW "-runver" 1.0 instead of "-ui" (because back then there was no mod support on launch for that game) will run the base original launch version if you have the .dat file of that version in your install.

If you got the steam or origin versions, they are installed to the latest without the older files so you're gonna have to find them and put them into the proper directories. I think it can work, but I am unsure.

Here's where I learned the trick.

or just find and Bibber's version selector launcher.

i start the mod from the command center, and after a few minutes of nothing i get thrown back to the command center. anybody got a idea whats wrong? iam gona try it with different game versions so i see how dat goes (edit) so switching versions dosnt change much. when i use the version selector tool and launch version 1.12 it gives me a error:DID YOU REMEBER TO BUILD DATA???. I dont expect someone careing about a 10 year old thing but i just try my luck. I can play any other mod fine, just this one makes trouble. Got the Origin ultimate collection with the fixed launchers and all that. Dosnt work on the pc of my friend eighter.
