Red Alert 3 v1.0 GUI Hang Fix

You may have experienced frustrating loading times just to get to the main menu in Red Alert 3. This is caused by the game trying to connect to EA's servers, which are very loaded at times. Winsock will block the GUI thread until it can connect or get a timeout (~3 minutes).

This patch will stop the game from constantly trying to connect to EA Servers when you load the main menu. It should only be used if you only play single player and LAN. The patch is for v1.0 only.

Note that you probably need the cracked version of the game for the patch to work due to packers.
