The game will only show a small screen, how can i make it full screen ?
-
Check your graphic driver settings and enable stretching/scaling. Also disable "Use
letter- or windowboxing to make a best fit" in RedAlertConfig.exe(Options)
Note: The first single-player missions are very small, they might look weird if you
choose a too high resolution(small screen surrounded by black)!
I get an "Unable to set video mode" error, how can i start the game?
-
If you get this error it either means your PC does not support the chosen
resolution (use RedAlertConfig.exe(Options) to change the resolution) or it might
be a problem related to the CnC-ddraw. If all other resolutions also end up with
the same error try one of the following options:
I started the game via the Play Online button, why cant i see any players online?
-
Start the file as administrator, right click it and hit "Run as Administrator"
Also make sure your firewall/anti-virus doesn't block cncnet.exe/ra95.exe
In online games i don't have Aftermath units, how can i play Aftermath Online ?
-
The problem is that people without Aftermath can join your games too, if only one
player without aftermath joins your game it will start as classic Red Alert without
new units. (The game will show "Aftermath off" in the hosted room)
To avoid that open RedAlertConfig.exe(Options), go to "Multi-player" and check
"Force Aftermath online", it makes your game incompatible to the classic Red Alert
and only people that also have the *private* version can join your games.

Ctrl+Space:
Scroll over your Ore Refineries and press CTRL+SPACE. The next time when you press
only SPACE the screen will jump to your Ore Refineries. This is very useful during
a game to control your trucks and to tell them to collect only the closest ore.
This will save you much money and it will result in a more efficient tank
production.
Ctrl+W:
Scroll over your War-factories and press CTRL+W. The next time when you press W the
screen Will jump to your War-factories. During a game it is very important to
produce tanks without any interruption. But the tanks are useless as long as u let
them park around next to your War-factories. So bookmark your War-factories and
press during a tank fight the W button to go to your War-factories select all new
units and send them to the battlefield.
Ctrl+R:
Scroll to your current battlefield and press CTRL+R. The next time when you press R
the screen will jump to your battlefield. Imagine that you are in a close tank
fight. You are producing tanks very nicely and you feel that you need
reinforcements. Then you press W to go to your War-factories. You select all new
tanks and then you must send them to the battlefield. Therefor you must only press
R, target an enemy tank or building and all your new Tanks will arrive there very
soon.
Ctrl+V:
Scroll to the base of your enemy and press CTRL+V. The next time when you press V
the screen will jump to the base of your enemy. This bookmark is useful for Air or
any other sneaky attacks.
2.2 Q-ing
Q-ing means that you can attack enemy units while your units don't stop moving.
Select a single or a bunch of tanks. Hold the Q KEY and target an enemy unit. Now
attack it while your finger is still pressing the Q KEY. Now click NEXT too your
target on the map while your finger is still holding the Q KEY and you will see
that your tank will drive to the last clicked position while he is still firing at
the enemy unit. This is extremely useful because your tank takes much less damage
when he moves while enemy units attack him.
2.3 Shifting
Shifting means that you add new tanks too an already existing group of tanks.
This is a bit complicated and you might need time to get used to it. Shifting is
absolutely necessary to keep all tanks together and to Q them around.
