With all this talk about TT and improvements made to renegade, you seem to have overlooked a very important feature in Renegade, the web pages.

Shouldn't you guys be working with EA to fix the 'new account' webpage as well as the other webpages that are linked to from C&C Renegade? The 'new account' page inclusion is extremely important, as the account creation system we have now is confusing, and probably puts off a lot of new players. Let's remember that Renegade is still being sold, and it should at least have a fucking proper account creation system.

Anyway, would the TT crew be able to get EA to deal with the webpage issues right now? (Never mind, links in Renegade are dealt with in the registry, thanks Jonwil!) Even having the 'new accounts' button redirect to some instructions or something would be better than what we have now.

We will probably redirect it to some TT maintained server. This is really a simple thing to do though so it can probably wait to somewhere near the end.

It isn't that simple. I tried to change the registry value and it gives me an error in-game, even when redirecting to a blank webpage with only "hello world" written on it.

The idea has been posted before in the "small things to fix" topic, though Smile.

The game will reject web pages without <!-- Certified Westwood Studios --> as the first line as far as I can tell (from studying how the WOL code works)
