Honestly, I wouldn't be too sad about them remaking RA2 and giving us easy-to-use online play. I wonder if that's why there's a delay - there's likely a *lot* of love for RA2

Have a look at Mental Omega, a quite over the top RA2 Yuri's Revenge mod that makes it easy to play on modern windows, play online and also adds a tonne of extra content should you want it.

There's a patched dll around that replaces IPX for TCP.

Turn off ipv6, the lobbies work but not the game when you try to start.

I don't if the remake will come at some point but in the mean time, you can enjoy this online port by fans: https://game.chronodivide.com/

You can play Red Alert 2 in the browser, with other players online.
