RAYR wont start up

[willson]

Hi, 

Since there is no support for catalina i've installed bootcamp with Windows 10. Downloaded my original games from Origen and installed CNCnet. 

When I start de origen version of the game it works. 

When i Start the CNCnet version to play online, it throws me an error.

Any advice would be appreciated.

No such luck here. Previously I was using the latest official drivers from Apple/AMD and now I'm using drivers from bootcampdrivers.com. I get the same error in both cases.

I get the same error. Windows 10 on Bootcamp on an iMac Pro.

try to change the settings in RA2MD.ini, under the [Video] header add or change
 

[Video]
ClientResolutionX=3840
ClientResolutionY=2160

Or some other smaller resolution that's tolerable.

Sadly doesn't work for me at least.

I've managed to fix it myself. 

I've downloaded the latest Mac Bootcamp drivers from AMD. Installed them, rebooted and now everything is working fine.

Looks like it's a problem with the drivers indeed, that's why it's using the XNA client as a fallback solution. The max res you can use is 2048x2048 with the XNA client, so just try to set it to 1920x1080 and it should probably work

After updating my drivers the issue reappared again. Still looking for permanent solution.

 

Found out that if I change my settings to use 640 x 480 from the compatiblity tab, its works (but screen is al foggy)

I've fixed it by change this in de RA2MD.ini
