"Stick it out!"

I'm getting so fed up with online gaming at the moment! I play Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge online quite a lot now, and when I have a full decent game against someone, whether win or lose, I enjoy it.

However, the majority of these online gamers will not stay in it til the bitter end! It's so annoying!

They're virtually winning, nearly destroyed your base, but you just manage to pull through on the defensive. You repair and rebuild and manage to build a squad of Tanks and Rocketeers, and as soon as they see them coming, they quit!

What's the point in playing a game if you're not going to stick it out? Surely if they concentrated a bit more on their base defenses and not on the amount of tanks they have, they'd be able to defend themselves and counter-attack like I do.

But no! They're not prepared for a loss. They just play to build a few tanks and cause complete and utter annihilation. Gee, that's fun! Why play a game where you're gonna either win, or just quit? It's not very entertaining. Surely a loss would make you all the more ready for another attempt, and being beaten means you can learn from your mistakes and try again!

Bloody Americans! I shouldn't just blame them, it often happens on the European servers too. However, when playing the Europeans, they think they're gonna catch something because you don't know more than how to say your name in German or French! I find that not saying anything at all is going to get more games on European servers than even saying "hi" would.

Ah well, that's my ranting and raving for now on the matter of online gaming.

STOP!!!!! My Yuri screen name is yuriii7.

My mate and I used to play Redalert with two of his PCs linked up (one was his, the other was his mum's) and one of us would nearly always quit towards the end, to save the shame of being beaten properly, heh

Ok, I'm going into RA2 Yuri's Revenge now

Thanks that worked a treat, im ready to go.

All you should have to do is insert the Yuri's Revenge CD, go to Start - Run then type (assuming D is your CDROM drive) D:\setup.exe

Then when it asks you which options to install, install only the Westwood Shared Internet Components (or something similar) and it'll re-install those files.

Then you'll probably have to download the updates from Westwood, but that's done when you go to Custom Match, and it'll just update your version of Yuri's Revenge.

i think its because tiberian sun is installed on the computer as well, if so i will have to uninstall that, and since i will have to ask my brother if its ok, i will have to wait until he gets back from an interview. When he will be back i dont know, but it should be within the hour.
