I love my Mom. And David loves his Grandma.

I was reading a post online about Red Alert 2. Of course, that got me nostalgic for a play. I reinstalled it along with Yuri's Revenge. I was having some problems, tried compatibility modes, patches, etc. Nothing worked. Odd since I didn't remember having any problems playing before.

After a couple uninstall/reinstalls, I hit the Play Now button after installing just Red Alert 2. It worked like a charm. 1.0 played great. So I figure maybe it's Yuri's Revenge causing the problem. So I grab the 1.06 patch for Red Alert 2. I install it and get the same stuttering problem as before. Well, it looks like no online play for me. I'll be rolling back to 1.0 and playing like that. Oh well, at least it works.

By the way, there were reports of Red Alert 3 being under development at EA LA. If you follow that link and combine that with the announcement of Battle for Middle Earth 2, you might get disheartened. Still we can hope for the best.

Have a great weekend. Oh, and Happy Birthday Mom.
