    This is more of a trick then an actual Lan patch for 1.3 however I think you will agree it gives you the best of both worlds.

    1. You need to install Red Alert 3, then upgrade to version 1.3, Make sure 1.3 is working, now install the version 1.2 patch again (download here)
    2. Now make a copy of the shortcut in the start menu and call it Red Alert 3 Beta 1.2
    3. Right click and go to properties on the shortcut and add “-runver 1.2” to the target without the quotes.

    4. Now follow Nimrods instructions to apply the 1.2 Lan patch.
    You done, the 1.2 shortcut should load up with the Lanplay menu enabled and 1.3 should still work fine for online play using the EA servers. I think at the moment this gives you the best of both worlds. Thanks to fredskis for supplying the information needed to get this little trick working.

    If you wanting to play Lanplay online, why not play in the Digiex Hamachi Network?

    add a space between RA3Beta.exe and -runver

    so it won't be like "D:\Red Alert 3 Beta\RA3Beta.exe"-runver 1.2
    but it has to be like: "D:\Red Alert 3 Beta\RA3Beta.exe" -runver 1.2

    One fast question - will this trick work with the 1.04 patch?
    Cause I can't test it now, and that wasn't exactly a textbook way of solving the problem... :P

    EDIT : Never mind my question.
    This works with patch 1.04. Nothing else needed to be done. The menu unlocker, the Skirmish and the LAN work fine as far as I tested them.

    well if you don't have a serial you can't start the game.
    Which means that unlocking the menu and fixing the LAN play wont do you any good.
    You can do that, but you'll still need a serial number to start the game.
