Using Einstein's time machine, you have escaped with your soldiers to an unspecified point in time from a world conquered by Yuri and his clones. Unfortunately, Yuri has pursued you. Expand your base, train new soldiers, defend against an army of mind-controlled animals and clones then destroy Yuri! You only have access to basic units. To get better stuff, look for scattered supply packs that contain random buildings, units, and bonuses. Brute Force is a mod that turns Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge into a kind of tower defense. You can play on any map you like. Play solo, with allied AI, or with another player in co-op via CnCNet. 99% of assets comes from the vanilla game to maintain the original atmosphere of the RA2.

I just installed this mod but it will not start because it says the MSVCP140.dll and another two .dll is missing.
I downloads Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 latest version,still can't fix it !
I found this issue early at mod 0.6.0,can you fix it?
In every version package there is \tools\ folder, you can find 'bf_AlternativeLauncher.zip' archive with readme inside. It's just a matter of unzipping .bat launcher into your game's directory.
Feel free to ask anytime.
edit: I will probably compile launcher with older version of C++ redist since people still having issues with it.
I've recompiled launcher (included in latest mod package), you can try now.
Still like that!(says the MSVCP140.dll and another two .dll is missing.) But,this time（BruteForce 0.7.44） I used bf_launcher.bat from 'bf_AlternativeLauncher.zip' and it worked.
（Win11 Pro 22H2 22621.3007_X64
AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics）
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I was testing on 3 machines (win11,win10,win10) and was working fine, altough I will try to fix this in future updates or just swap.bat launcher as main and .exe launchers as alternative.
Sometimes simplest solutions are best ones :)
Thank you for your feedback a lot.
I cant even launch the program just same problem like lwljk's and launch through bf launcher.exe and bat file, it but pop up cmd window and gone. And only syringe program is running background.
MY system: intel core i5-4670, radeon 570x, h87 motherboard, 16GB Ram. SSD
Hey, I'm sorry that it doesn't work for you. Let me try to help. I don't know what OS are you using, but let's assume 10 or 11 64bit.
1.) Make sure you have a fresh install of both RA2 and YR, version 1.001 in same directory
2.) Launch unmodded YR for one time before installing
3.) Unpack mod to the game folder
4.) Run launcher (.bat or .exe) as administrator
Should work at this point.
If it is still not running try configuring your video settings with 'cnc-draw config.exe'.
If you'll be still unable to run it make sure that your antyvirus isn't blocking it.
This mod is using syringe, ares and phobos and no differs from other mods in the way its being launched. Since you're saying that syringe is working so it has to be some game client related problem, wrong version or video render settings issue.
Let me know in case of further problems, I'll try to help.
Lol change video settings is work!! thx for help!
It's a shame that I cant play yuri.... I love him.
Nevertheless, Great mod! I never played like this unique concept mod!
By the way, why game is so laggy when yuri's spamming units many?
I'm super glad that it worked!
In case of FPS drops, it's a matter of the TS/RA2 engine, which utilizes only one core, and performance depends on your CPU capabilities. However, I'm developing this mod with a high focus on optimization. Various tweaks and hacks have been implemented to make it run as smoothly as possible.
What can you do about it? Get a better CPU! Just kidding hehehe. Try playing on simple maps (I've included a few) and experiment with different difficulty settings for your opponents and allies until you find the best working configuration for you.
I'm still actively working on this mod, and it's a high priority on my list, so new performance tweaks will be included for sure.
Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
edit: BF_launcher.exe helps a little, changing used core to not use first one (on which most of running soft in the background is making load) and changes process priority. You can do that manually in Task Manager if .exe launcher doesn't work for you.
Using core 1? not the core 0? just like the other games which only use single core? lol.
Anyway I played it. 5 vs 3 (Of course yuri is 3, Every AI is Brutal)
I think you have to tweak difficulty. cuz The yuri CY and control center are too sturdy which endure almost 20 nuke! Nevertheless i crush it, AI rebuilt them immediately with dozens of other buildings!!!
Of course if i can spamm units it dosnt matter, but you limit unit capacity so i cant even go out my defence line.
I think only one situration can get victory is this.
1. select pudo-island or island map.(Never sustain defence at normal map)
2. capture or get the battle lab(or secret lab) to make unit which can blow up bridge
3. defend bace untill i get enough money and tech.
4. send spy to make chrono unit
5. send air unit and use superweapon to take off AI defence line
6. C4 the CY by any means necessary.
It takes soooo long time so I use cheat script.
U should change this. Seriously
Hey! Thank you for your comment. I replied here, on the mod's forum: Moddb.com
I would be thankful if we could move that interesting discussion there :)
I think something's wrong with the tech advancement, cause I'm not able to build a War Factory, or any further buildings. Just Power - Barracks - Refinery - Tech Oil Derrick .. and that's it.
Are we supposed to do something special to go further in the tech line ?
Hey,
Yes, this is the essence of this, as I wrote here in description:
"You only have access to basic units. To get better stuff, look for scattered supply packs that contain random buildings, units, and bonuses. Attention Commanders - now with working coop via CnCNet!"
Keep in mind guys that this mod is in development and some of comments may be outdated at this point.
