RA95 issues (Game freeze, Weird colors with TLF.exe)

[Streidominating]

Hi all

 

I got the Ultimate Collection via Origin.

 

Patch3.03 installed from this website.

 

My issue is that, when I load a saved game (after playing a bit) the game freezes. Black screen, sound looping.

 

Same happened also during the 2nd mission with Tanya, where you have to blow up the bridges. I started the mission, played a bit and then loaded the saved game from the beginning, that worked, but after some time when I killed more infantry units, my game froze. Sound looping stuck image.

 

Now, I can overcome this when using the RA95_TLF (the lost files).exe but there I get weird colors...

 

I tried:

 

Fresh install of RA95

Compatibility to W95, 89/ME, 2000, XP...

256 colors etc.

 

Using Windows 7 64x as OS

 

Any help? cnc95 worked without any issues

You can patch your ultimate collection using this: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/

 

The game should run pretty stable afterwards and the color isssue is gone too

Hello

 

I think I need to make a fresh install of RA1

 

The installer you linked to me didn't solve the crash issue, for example when loading save from mission 1 and then from mission 2 -> crash.

 

Or load mission 2 and then mission 1 -> crash

 

Tried with new made save games. See attached the .dmp if that helps anyhow.

 

With the "RA95_TLF_(TFD).exe" everything is ok for now - but I get black borders at 640x400 (top  & bottom) and when choosing 640x480 it feels stretched in length (wasn't before trying this installer)

 

Well the black border is a minor backstep, so that could be overseen, but I kinda want the perfect setup

might be that the savegames can only be played in the resolution they were made, i can't remember if that problem was fixe

 

are you sure all Compatibility modes are turned off ? cause those are causing crashes !

 

yes, it might be the best to do a fresh install

Hello

 

I deinstalled everything and installed from RA Installer.

 

Everything working fine now The cursor is flimmering sometimes now, for any odd reason, but that is not really tragic.

[FunkyFr3sh]

ah cool, good to hear that !

 

hm, not sure about the cursor tho.. did you change the renderer or are you still using GDI ? You could try to disable the mousehack in the settings(not sure if that will help)

[Streidominating]

Yeah I tried to fizzle with the settings, different render settings and also mouse fixes/hacks etc.

 

Nothing really helped, but I'm used to it now so it doesn't really matter anymore.

 

Thanks for you help.
