Blackageddon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi I've installed Red Alert, but I can not play it. The moment I use my mouse, the game cashes. It works using the keyboard, and keeps working until I have to use the mouse. So in another words, I get to start playing Allies, see the video with Tanya & co, the mission video.. But the moment I try to mark any unit, sound and picture crashes. I use a laptop, Sony Vaio Multiflip Windows 8.1 pro Intel I-7 16 gb RAM Nvidia Geforce GT 735 Could it be because I use the touchpad and not an external mouse?

pichorra Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Try to disable cnc-ddraw. The game's colors will probably be messed up after it, but give it a try. Go to the Red Alert folder, and rename ddraw.dll to ddraw.bak Make sure Red Alert resolution in REDALERT.INI is supported by your screen. launch the game. To re-enable cnc-ddraw Rename ddraw.bak to ddraw.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tore Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Disabling cnc-ddraw might cause RA to not work at all on Win8.1. Instead use the config tool to enable OpenGL, if it is already enabled choose gdi instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
