Can't run RA Beta

[RC1985]

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed the RA Beta 0.09c according to the PDF instructions but I can't run the game. When I do, I get the attached error message. I've tried both CONQUER.EXE and CONQUER_FIX.EXE and they give me the same message.

One thing - the cnc-ddraw I used is not the one mentioned in the PDF (1.3.4.6) but the 1.3.5.0 that I got here: https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey RC,

This seems to be a old bug in C&C95 too. Can you try running CONQUER_FIX.EXE in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows XP compatibility modes please?

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks, I tried running CONQUER_FIX.EXE in Win 95, 98, XP Service Pack 2 and 3 modes but they don't work ?

I get that crash when the Beta iso isn't mounted.

EDIT: Thanks, I mounted it and now the game launches, but it crashes right at the start when the RA intro video is shown. This is something I've been experiencing for the 'normal' RA campaign and also TD campaign. Any fixes?

Anyone?

@RC1985 I'm out of ideas personally, we never experienced this crash/issue in our tests.

Is the crash address you see after the intro players the same as the one you got above?
