Are you serious
After all this time and trouble this was my issue?
It worked.
Any reason I needed it on for YR but not RA2? Hell I think vbuffer on was giving me problems on RA2.
EDIT: Um, dafuq, it stopped working again.
Here's what it does: I'll launch it and it sends me straight back to the desktop. The app doesn't stop, I have to manually stop it. It's like it tries to default to a lower res. but the system won't let it or something.

Edit: after a bit of messing about and clicking the app furiously (I was actually calmed, I just figured 'hey, it resized my windows again, maybe I should try something out') I managed to have it to launch. Seems it's completely ignoring the settings I give it for resolution. Strange, to say the least.
BTW, when I said it worked, I only got to the menu, I didn't try starting a game or whatever. But yeah, clearly, judging by the window size if I try to force it into windowed mode, it's not accepting my res entry.
Got it to work in Windowed mode (it switches res going from the menu to the game), gameplay speed seems slow and it crashes after a few minutes.
