If you're wanting to play online - you can download our installer which applies a bunch of Win8/10 fixes, which you then will be able to launch skirmish games and online games with other players. Either that or right click on the exe file, and change try the option that automatically changes the compatibility for you. I would of link it to you but am on my phone. you call to get the square to move down the screen (see listing 7.3). Extract the included ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg files to the same directory as your target executable. view's background to black, initialize boxView, and set its background to red. It intercepts ddraw calls and performs various actions before forwarding to the real DirectDraw interface. Just google RA2 Black Screen and it should come up. ddwrapper works by providing a proxy DLL, which the application connects to and treats like the real DDRAW.DLL. Hello and welcome to the forums - are you specifically trying to play online RA2 & YR, or are you trying to play the missions? ago There is a patch online that fixes this.

Any idea on how to fix this problem? I really want to play Yuri's Revenge, as I never had the chance to back in the day. I should mention that this same Win 8.1 PC was able to run RA2 (original 2000 CD version) just fine without that issue (even though now I can't seem to install that version anymore no matter what I try).ĮA support was well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful. In short, after tweaking the ini file to disable video backbuffer, both games run fine, but they freeze on the loading screen when trying to restore a saved game, to the point that I have to CTRL+Alt+Del. Which is.I bought the C&C ultimate collection on Origin, and I have trouble getting RA2 and YR to work correctly. That should cut out all the other issues which on 6/7/8xxM GPUs arise from other settings, whilst allowing you to play in glorious 640x480 (Even on 4k laptop screens. Good news is by cutting out most steps, you get a quicker, easier, more stable fix!Ĥ) Change "ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 0" to "ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1"ĥ) Load Red Alert/Yuri's Revenge. Whilst a fix has been posted and sidebar'd, it's convoluted and those with M-series NVidia GPU's (Though not sure about the 9xx series) might notice they get a different issue from other elements of the "fix" which still renders their game unplayable (Examples: Block "artifacts" which are actually undrawn squares on 6xxM, colour issues when forcing 16-bit on 8xxM GPU's alongside certain Intel graphics).


Having downloaded RA2 yesterday, I noticed that it was black screening instantly.
