Wow, from what I've seen those games on "On The House" usually stay up for free for at least few weeks. Guess the demand for Red Alert 2 was strong, this was less than a day.

They say they will return it, it's just that the servers were under immense stress because people downloaded it so much. Check the page again.

It does not seem that you get a Red Alert 2 or Yuri's Revenge key. I could not find any reference to Westwood Studios in the registry at all.
There's just some key for the bundle itself.

Unfortunately, in my region they are redistributing Theme Hospital instead of Red Alert 2.

Yeah same here. If you live in Asia you instead get Theme Hospital.

Apparently this is their reason...

Nope. They were doing that before their servers were overloaded.

I don't. And with how most CDs were in the Philippines back then... it was probably pirated either way.

Nope, I don't think it counts as abandonware. Once RA2 leaves the In the House feature from Origin, it will be sold again for some bucks.

I had an original cds before but it got broken then I stopped playing it for 2 years "GTA VC distraction" then I found the pirated torrents way and downloaded another original one with a keygen.

I never used Origin. How does this differ from the original install?

For one I can say that TUC version gives me graphical errors for YR on W10.
A same installation, original from 2001, does not give me these errors.

Alright. Gave it a whirl and could not play naturally on my windows 10 setup. Menus and game lagged to death, but was remedied by the fixes posted by RP on the other thread!

There is one big issue is the alt-tab black screen issue and starting in windowed mode didn't seem to help as the colors and sound are unfortunately  distorted.

Truding throughout the EA forums..wow. I commend Nyerguds for keeping up with helping others.
