    Connecting to game server

    Dear Sir,
    I had to completely re-install Red Alert 2 due to a computer failure on my home PC. After I re-installed RA2 on my new computer, I cannot connect to the right server to play any games on line such as quick matches. I have played this game for many years and I am requesting any help on how to get back to my favorite game on line. I have tried to install the patches with success, but it is just like I am on a server somewhere and I am the only one there. If I try a quick match, it gives me the error message of cannot connect to server. I am trying to use the XWIS server under my information on the set up page of on line settings.
    thank you in advance for any help....

    Mike C.

    ... do the RA2 servers even still exist?

    Dali: "I know what the picture should be ... We take a duck and put some dynamite in its derriere. When the duck explodes, I jump and you take the picture."

    Dali: "You're right. Let's take some cats and splash them with water."

    Yes I believe so. I played RA@ on line and quick matches before I had to re install it all the time. Thousands of games.....

    It tells me Error: Matching Server Not Found, when I try to play quick match scenerio. My ID is b4ikillux. When it last played correctly I was 18 wins and 18 losses, ranked 642 on line. 189 PTS.

    Yes, XWIS is the official working server for Red Alert 2 and several other classic C&C titles.

    Make sure you have an account at Strike-Team (the XWIS support site) Use these details to register your serial number with the XWIS Control Panel and then you can create your nicknames for use online once again.

    Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on
