We can work the problem by using the multiplayer-only release by XWIS (which was created under EA’s permission) and copy the the necessary files for single player from the CDs.įirst go this page and download and install XWIS’ Red Alert 2 multiplayer distribution. It has something to do with the installer being incompatible with Windows 10. Sadly those CDs won’t work on Windows 10. I have old Red Alert 2 CDs, will those work? Arr!Īfter purchasing the copy simply install it. Now If you want to download an Illegal copy, that’s your choice but you’re not getting instructions on how to do that here. The good news is that 15€ for 17 C&C games isn’t that bad of a deal. The bad news is that it’s a collection so you can’t buy just Red Alert 2, but you’ll get all of the C&C games and their expansions.

Where can you buy the game? To my knowledge one of the few ways to buy Red Alert 2 is on origin where you buy the Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection. To play it legally? Yes, you will need to buy Red Alert 2 because it wasn’t made free yet by EA who owns the brand.
