Press 'Esc' button and game freeze

I'm on Win 10, no error messages, just complete freeze, only mouse head moves on screen, but hovering over units does not highlight their green health bars or anything.

Hello,

If you are experiencing slow or choppy gameplay whilst playing on CnCNet, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem.

1. Install the CnCNet client 
2. This will look for your existing game directory.
3. Once installed run CnCNetYRLauncher.exe or the shortcut supplied.
4. Click "Options"
5. Select "Display" and under the render options, select a new renderer. Commonly, TS-DDRAW works best.
6. Click Save, and launch Skirmish. 
7. Play a game with the AI. If the gameplay is fast then this renderer will likely be the best for you.
8. If it hasn't worked, repeat from step 5 until you find a renderer that works best with your system.

Failing the above, ensure your video drivers are up-to-date. You are running a suitable resolution the game can handle.

Hey guys,

 

I just recently had to temporarily move to a new monitor due to moving for a bit of time. Step one works best. There is no need to delete the old CNC filed, just download it and it will automatically put you in the correct settings (that's what happened to me).

My resolution was all messed up, game was freezing when I click ESC, and game was running slow until I did step one. Everything worked after that.
