Can't Install CNCNET for Yuri's revenge

[Kurnis]

I get this error when I try to install cncnet to a fresh install of  yuri's revenge.  The game starts and runs perfectly, but I just can't install cncnet.  Any ideas?  thanks!

You could try running the clientogl.exe executable from Resources folder.

[Kurnis]

client.logHere is the client.log if that helps

[dkeeton]

Can you edit RA2MD.ini file and put in the ClientResolution lines under [Video]

[Video]
ClientResolutionX=1920
ClientResolutionY=1080

 

[Kurnis]

Thanks for the reply!  I added that exactly and am still receiving the same error.  

After adding the changes I tried uninstalling and reinstalling cncnet and still no luck

[dkeeton]

send client.log with those lines added.

Have you checked for a driver update for your graphics card?

[Kurnis]

Yeah I'm running the latest nvidia driver for my gtx 1080

[Kurnis]

THAT WORKS!!!  awesome thank you!! ❤️

 

Now another question, is there any way to force a custom resolution?  My double-wide monitor is actually TOO wide for the maps, but there's no 32:9 resolution below 3840 x 1080 available.   I want to force 2560x720 but every time I enter that into ra2md.ini the game automatically resets to 640x480.

yeah...i know, first world problems, but the native resolution of really messes up the game.  It stutters all over the place when I try to scroll.

 

edit: I figured it out.  Thank you so much for your help!!

Try setting the renderer to cnc-ddraw or GDI with 2560x720 as the resolution.

And maybe it would work if you set renderer to cnc-ddraw then check the window button and when the game window pops up press alt+enter to fullscreen it.

[Kurnis]

So i got fullscreen and windowed to work.  But I still can't adjust to a custom resolution. 

Is there a way I can ADD 2560x720 to the list that shows up in-game?

[dkeeton]

With cnc-ddraw,  you should set windowed=true in ddraw.ini and/or Resources/cnc-ddraw.ini. Then you can use alt+enter. Or you can do the same but also set fullscreen=true in Resources/cnc-ddraw.ini
