master110 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I know its a online client but I am on windows 10 and the only way I can play RA2/Yuri is with this client ( I own the real disk First decade ) I'm having a lot of fun playing skirmish and online. If I launch the game normally without client it just crashes. Unless there is a way I can use TS-Draw without the client. Update. I found a few patches fixes online but none of them worked. They crash or lag. Edited August 7, 2017 by master110 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

master110 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nah man. I tried all the patches people uploaded , none of them work. The only way this game runs is with the client. The game won't run normally only with the client from here. I'm guessing one day they will add the campaign here on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NizzyStorm Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) One thing you COULD do is use make a brand new folder with the game in it nothing else no mods no CNCNET. Then copy and paste your renderer .dll file in that folder. All I'm trying to say is I use windows 10 and it works fine with me. So, for example, make a new folder called Ra2 then install these 4 links then copy your renderer into the folder. This is how I got this working for my use. RA2: http://xwis.net/downloads/Red-Alert-2-Multiplayer.exe YR: http://xwis.net/downloads/Yuris-Revenge-Multiplayer.exe Compatibility Patch: http://www.mediafire.com/file/x3p4x2ambdzlzn7/Compatibility_Patch.zip Soundtrack: http://www.mediafire.com/file/io5w550ld6xq5vx/Soundtrack.rar Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjEwtfQrGzY Note: Make sure you install these to the folder you made for the game. Another thing is DO NOT install CNCNET to this folder you will mess it up then. This is a free download I use this. One last thing. You use TS-DDraw Right? Well just copy TS-DDraw.dll across into the folder you installed those links too. This worked for me. Edited August 13, 2017 by rossnisbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpule Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 i have the same trouble with old games. some older games arent compatible with interlacing. go to your graphic settings and set your frame rate (fps or refresh rate) to 60 htz. do not select one with (interlacing). this solved the "unable to set video mode" problem on windows vista and after but i have new problems now. hope yours works though.

Go to Resources folder and copy "ts_ddraw.dll" to your CnCNet YR folder, rename "ts_ddraw.dll" to "ddraw.dll", then launch the game via ra2md.exe, let me know if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra2/Yr is not freeware, the same reason XWIS doesnt provide campaign's/music in the MP client, at no point on cncnet do you have to enter your serial number, to provide the campaign through the client would most likelly open them upto a possible lawsuit. I could but it may not work, depends on his setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not asking you to include the full download of the campaign missions etc., just a feature in the menu that would lead to existing files. You'd still need them installed beforehand. The standard retail version from 2001 can't run without the SafeDisc driver, which the YR client bypasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard retail version from 2001 can't run without the SafeDisc driver, which the YR client bypasses. I added the Music downloads. They are not in the client. It probably isnt allowed even the way it is. This was confirmed by our EA contacts at their German Office. You could probably provide a menu to do this like you said aslong as the files werent included. 39 minutes ago, Lud0wig said: Maybe because it's just for multiplayer and it has everything required to play on XWIS? (For example, Auto SS, which is not available in the original RA2/YR) Nah it was stripped of music/campaign because we weren't allowed to distribute due to copyright reasons. it'd be a free download of the game with them. Like i said the games not freeware. Edited February 3, 2018 by ZiGZaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CC] RaVaGe Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Find your game directory and browse to the Resources folder. Copy ts_ddraw.dll to your game directory and rename to ddraw.dll. Start the original game to play the campaign, keep in mind it gets removed if you open and then close the cncnet client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lud0wig Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 RA2 soundtrack is included in RA2 multiplayer download and also available as separate download, YR soundtrack is available only as separate download and it's not included in YR multiplayer download... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK3600 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I use windows 10 and the campaign runs fine after a few tweak. You need to change 4 files: game.exe; gamemd.exe; Ra2.exe; RA2MD.exe. 1. Run as administrator 2. Compatibility mode: Windows 98 3. Disable display scaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK3600 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes. If they are not updating to support win10, and user paid for the product, pirating is just using what you paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
