Hi, everyone. I'm new to these forums so please excuse me if this is not the right place to post this. When running the RA1 with pure ddraw (http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/) no items appear on the building sidebar. I know the project is probably in an abandoned state, still by some posts I understand many people use it, so maybe someone has seen this problem before. This happens ONLY when I run RA1 directly with ddraw in RA's main dir. If I delete ddraw.dll or run RA via ra95-303-hires-launcher-alpha2.exe (with ddraw) all works just fine. ra95-hires is great, but still pure ddraw offers the unique possibility to run the game in windowed mode or under emulated low res that I'm interested in. I saw there was another project called Arda (http://www.stuffhost.de/files/redalert/arda.html) which embeds both hires and ddraw mods, but so far I couldn't make it run stably since as soon as I start any mission the game freezes after a few seconds (probably similar issue described in http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=889.0). Any suggestions on the solution to the bug or different settings/setup recommendations? My RA1 installation: - Windows 7 x64 - MIX Cleaner applied (http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/tfd_ra_main_patch.rar) - RA1 TFD v3.03 (http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/ra303patch.exe) - ddraw.dll (http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/ddraw.dll) Thanks and regards
