Crash to desktop on Score Screen

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Hello all,

 

I am trying to play Red Alert with RA95Launcher, but it seems everytime I press the Mouse Button while on the Score Screen, the game crashes to desktop.

 

Is there a way to fix this? I read it was a known bug that was fixed with the 1.08 patch, but I am not sure if patches are compatible with the CnCNet version.

 

Thanks in advance!

Did it say something about an error log named ra95crash.dmp? If so, could you please upload it here?

 

I assume you used RA1Installer.exe to install the game? What kind of installation option did you chose?

I actually dl'd RA1 the other day and played a couple of campaign missions and had a similar problem,... sort of...  On the score screen, If I clicked the mouse button, the hourglass wheel thingy started  and said the program was unresponsive.  However a few seconds later, it resumed functioning normally without crashing.  Perhaps unrelated but I figured I'd say something.  BTW I used full web installation of both discs 1 & 2.

Where can I find the error log in question? I tried searching for it right after experiencing the crash, to no avail.

 

And yes, I did use RA1Installer.exe. I chose the full CD install and I downloaded both iso files when the installer asked for their location.

 

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I reinstall the game, this time using the full web installation, and I had the same experience as MattAttack: the game briefly freezed on the Score Screen when I pressed the Mouse Button around the time the high scores get displayed but did not crash this time.

The file can be found in the game folder, it could be that there is no file though (sometimes it crashes and doesn't generate it)

It seems enabling the "Skip Score Screen" option solved my problem... or at least circumvented it.

 

However, C&C95 does not have such option, so I kind of worry.
