Red Alert 3 Semi-Public Beta

The Red Alert series has always been a bit silly, but adding a third new faction in Red Alert 3 based on Japan was just too easy for the developers. So in addition to armored Russian bears and a female Russian commando with short shorts, you can play around with mecha, transformable mecha, and a Japanese schoolgirl named Yuriko who is a bit like that crazy kid in Akira who destroyed Tokyo with his mind.
I played with the Empire of the Rising Sun for the first time, and this is a faction unlike the Soviets or the Allies. The Japanese build system is different in that queuing a building gives you a special construction unit that goes to a spot you select and unpacks there. Distance doesn't play a role, so you're no longer limited to putting energy structures next to your constructor; you could put them across the map if you want.


Information:

The beta is currently in private stages, EA are making people buy Kanes Wrath expansion pack for C&C3 to get a beta key which can be used to install this. We are doing all we can to provide up to the minute information as it breaks, on ways for the general public to install it. This page will be updated regularly by staff and members with information as it breaks.

I found 2 ways install without key:

1st with my modified installer:

Copy this into ra3 beta directory and run.

2nd: In ra3 beta fodler go to support and open localization.ini and set "demo=0" to demo=1 - cd key will not needed.

But CD-key needed to play - game will ask at first start. So we waiting for a crack...

What about using the CD Keys in the post by Nimrod? Are these not accepted by the installer?

From what I’ve been told even if you manage to get it installed the only game play option in the beta is online playing using the EA servers, so a patch/modification would be needed to enable lan or direct ip play.

Thats just it, we are awaiting a crack that will let you launch a net game by an IP address or to get the game to allow a skirmish or lan game. Basically anything that will allow you to play. I'm sure someone will crack it and release it at some point and as soon as it is, it will be posted up here. Just a case of holding on. In the mean time you can download the client and try your luck with any of the CD keys provided, or attempt to find more, though please post them here if you do!



On other news, I recently did the online update for my Beta (I'm legally on the beta) and for the v1.1 update, it said the following bug was fixed:

Now I've been all over the internet trying to find this crack with no luck, I shall continue and hopefully it will be leaked onto the net soon in which case it will be posted up on this site for everyone to download for free. If anyone else finds this patch, please share it by posting!

well, hacking/cracking this game could be VERY dificult, the game checks the serial online, It is dificult to disable this activation.
the same securitie is used with Alone in the Dark and Bioshock
bioshock took weeks before a crack, alone in the dark still isnt cracked
(there is a small chance I am wrong with this)

a good crack whould be an fake EA server
RA3Beta sends a code away, then it recieseves a code back which says if the key is good or not.
only thing to do is make sever that always says that your serial is good.
bad thing, I have no Idea if this is even posible.

second idea is tranvering as many stuff to to CNC3, this is tryable but I have no idea it works. if I get this working I will post it.

I still hopes someone can crack/hack it
and I hope this info could be usefull

I think its clear there are two types of crack needed:

One to install the beta (either CD key or modified installer or self installed via .cab files)

One to enable LAN play because there is no way to play online on the Gamespy servers without a valid CD key.

If someone who has installed RA3 Beta could please test the crack attached.

Once someone has confirmed how to get it working I want to tidy this thread up with a guide on how to do it. We just need someone to confirm what crack works.

The goal is just to get the beta working on either lan play, or skirmish so everyone can enjoy this. And by the fact EA released an update to "block" the LAN crack proves there is one out their.
