**2025** LAN / NETWORK PLAY FIX - SAME CD KEY ISSUE

DO THIS BEFORE EVERY START!!!!


Open the registry by clicking the start manu and typing "regedit", right-click and open as administrator.

Go to "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3\ergc"

After initiating the game through Steam, but before it actually starts, change the registry key from "(%CDKEY%)" to something else, like "(%CDKgdfgdEY%)". Hit save quickly and the game should start normally.
