Not My cup of tea at all Horrible games can't play them everything too damn small!

I have it on disc but I'm still tempted. Of course, loading Origin takes longer that finding the disc and putting it in the drive so.....

So I have to play it through Origin? Hmm nah... very generous offer though. Those were awesome games. Also, Kari Wuhrer!

hafizadam: Free?! What's the catch?
The catch is that you have to infect your computer with the abomination that is Origin. There are also slightly less painful and invasive options, such as giving us your first-born or a kidney.
Fixed that for you ;-)

I tried it. It has the same issues and roughly the same performance, as the one found withing the retail, "THE FIRST DECADE" box. Menus don't appear, you have to alt+tab all time to navigate them, there is no more internet server for the game as EA admits (i was really itching for a yuri campaign and some online clashes), but the ORIGIN version is INFERIOR.

THE FIRST DECADE has a community patch, fan made but very polished. It fixes many things, it adds others, it is really good. I don't know if it is compatible with origin. But with this patch, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's, become DRM free. No need for physical retail copy, or client-ass. Also, it makes game drm-free without cracking it and making it akin to a pirated copy; back in the day when i was still active in multiplayer, it played normally, if it made the game pirated, 10 seconds after multiplayer battle, base would be destroyed and you automatically loose, as the antipiracy measure built in the game from devs, never happened for me with that patch, ergo it is still legit game.

Now i showed the boot to both Origin and cr@p on it. Not even free i would be convinced to throw in garbage in my system! Only DRM-FREE and client-free stuff, or NOTHING at all!

timppu: Wow, I'm building quite a respectable library also on Origin, even though I haven't bought any games from them.

Ok, there was the Origin Humble Bundle, but I recall they were mostly repeats I already had on Steam (so I basically just got an option to activate the games also on Origin), and none of that money went to EA I believe.

Hey, I'm not complaining about the client if they offer free games. Buying games there is another thing though. Maybe if a proper Mass Effect trilogy on a cheap price. Or wait for the GOG release. :)
That EA refuse to sell anything for cheap. Best price I saw was 10 USD for all trilogy, Origin key. I don't want to pay that much for a years old games.

Interesting. I have had first decade for years and never played it due to the DRM. Will have a look at the patch, maybe now I can play the other games in the series (only played the first).

I only got into Origin because of Dragon Age and Mass Effect games. Also bought Assasin Creed games while i was at it. I still check time to time to collect the free games. I have 13 of them but havent play any of them yet. Probably never will.

Here friend! You install the game clean, take care to do so as administrator and change the setup exe to administrator, under properties. Apply over the clean install the patch, change manually ALL games' icons to administrator under properties and you are good to go.

The tiberium with expansion has glitched graphically options menu and if you change resolution, it gets messed up completely. Generally, avoid changing options and tampering with settings, or else... It is playable, but GOG MUST GET IT TO FIX IT AND TWEAK IT! EA DOESN'T EVEN GIVE A CR@P ABOUT THIS masterpiece, this legacy, living legend of the RTS genre! GOG GET IT FOR US PLEASE WE WILL PAY?!
