1.) Q: does it have its own campaign?

A: Not yet, but it will have one in the future

2.) Q: I just installed this mod but it will not start because it says the MSVCP140.dll and another two .dll is missing.

A: You need to install Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable by Microsoft, both x64 and x86 versions.

3.) Q: 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.

A: You only have access to basic units. To get better stuff, 
   look for scattered supply packs that contain random buildings, units, and bonuses.
   There are also other ways to get more building options, 
   you have to find them - thats the part of the game.

4.) Q: I can't play as Yuri

A: Yes, you can't, Yuri is meant to be main AI opponent in this mode, however Freemind Army may come in the future

5.) Q: How to add my cool custom map?

 A: move or copy your map to Command & Conquer Red Alert II\Maps\Custom\ folder
 
   - (important!) if your map has other file extension (.yrm for example) change it to .map
   - (optional) sometimes map name (inside map file) must be identical as map filename
   - (optional) using FinalAlert2 or Notepad++ to edit map manually is recommended

6.) Q: BFLauncher.exe doesn't start at all

  A: Thats related to Windows protection for files downloaded from the web. 

   1.) run bf_updater.bat and proceed

   or:

   1.) redownload RA2YRBF_0_X_XX.zip manually (https://github.com/mbnq/RA2YRBF/wiki/Download-mirrors)

   2.) click on the downloaded .zip file with right mouse button, then Properties

   3.) look for Unblock option, use it and press ok

   4.) now unzip and copy files to your RA2YR game directory again from unblocked .zip

7.) Q: I have already installed an older version of the mod, how do I update it?

 A: at this point this is how you do that

      1.) take bf_uninstaller.bat from new version of the mod zip file
          and put it in your game directory

      2.) run bf_uninstaller.bat and follow the instructions

      3.) unpack and install the new version of the mod

8.) Q: How to run BF directly from the Steam Library?

 A: To launch it via steam library go to Yuri's Revene properties, 
    General, find launch options and put this into the edit box:
         "yourpath\BFLauncher.exe" %command%

    It should look like this (example):
         "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Red Alert II\BFLauncher.exe" %command%

   - (important!) it may not work in multiplayer then
