<br />
'''Unable to initialize 'ra2.csf', please reinstall Red Alert.''' is the error message shown if [[Red Alert 2]], upon startup, is unable to initialize the [[ra2.csf|string table]]{{fnl|1}}, due to a missing file, corruption or other read errors.<br />
<br />
<br />
Of interesting note is that the error message is tri-lingual, even in the original English version. The translated error messages are very similar, and, translated back to English, are as follows:<br />
<br />
:;German :No initialization of 'ra2.csf' possible. Please install Red Alert again.<br />
:;French :Initialization of 'ra2.csf' impossible. Please reinstall Red Alert.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also note that, in all three languages, you are asked to reinstall ''[[Red Alert]]'' again - not ''[[Red Alert 2]]''. Only in the title bar RA2 is noted.<br />
