No official patches for RA3 Uprising were ever released. Probably required to fix up a few things but since Uprising had no multiplayer there was no need to worry about balance like you would expect in Red Alert 3. The standalone expansion was released and then basically forgotten about.

The default TFD installation folder is:"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\"If it's not there, simply right-click on the TFD launcher link on your desktop, go to Properties and see which directory it launches from. That should be the sub-folder "Launcher"of the main TFD install folder. There should be a "Find Target" button to go right to that location. If you go one directory up from there you end up in the main install folder.In there you will find a folder for each of the games, and a few more for the TFD launcher, patches and internet files.Unofficial 1.03 PatchThis patch contains most of the fixes listed in this thread, get it here: or alternatively here: -comm.com/community/index....a=view;down=16Note: This patch includes files which cause problems with Internet play in TS, RA2 & YR, please check those sections after installing for the solutions to these problems.Nyerguds' guide to installing & patching TFD: -design.com/...lling_tfd.html(note that this is mostly just the manual way of applying all fixes that are in patch 1.03)General fixes:Games won't run in Vista/7: Vista/7 users should take ownership of the TFD main folder.

The xcc shortcut installer will do this for you: _TF..._Installer.exeGames crash on dual core machines: If you have a dual core CPU, and games seem to crash for no reason, start the gameand press CTRL ALT DEL (For XP Pro select Task Manager!), right click on the game's .exe process, click "set affinity", and deselect one CPU.ForceCore is a small program that automates this process: -design.com/.../forcecore.zipVideo's hang: On some systems Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 can hang with repeating sound in the firstsecond of video, this often means it is impossible to get past the Westwood Studios logo.
