I found a Cheat Engine script for God mode, I want to continue using it by minimizing the game to the trainer. Thanks in advance. :] Please add minimize support to your new ddraw.dll !!!

No cheats for you ^^ Seriously, try to play the game without any CE scripts/cheat tables and stuff like that, it's much better and the game is fun anyway. If you can't switch around applications via alt + tab, just use a different render. Edited July 12, 2018 by Lud0wig

I play with the CncNet Client anyway —I guess the 100k credits limit sorta makes up for it. P.S: Does the anti-cheat affect the vanilla version of the main Yuri executable too ?

Jezebel Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 TS-DDRAW doesn't seem to work for me anymore on RA2, Windows 10 1803. Menus work fine, as does the loading screen, but once I load into the game, I see the skirmish setup screen and hear ingame noises. Here's the screen I see once loading completes. Only thing I can do is ALT-F4 out of it and close the game.

Sure am. I've even tried downloading the .ini file and fiddling with that, to no avail. Edit: Just an update. A complete reinstall of RA2 fixed this. Edited November 5, 2018 by Jezebel Update

Issue is back and occurs when I select a resolution any higher than 800x600. I'm on Windows 10, if that narrows anything down. 1

Changing the renderer between OpenGL and GDI doesn't help either. Something is messing up in Yuri's Revenge when it tries to change the resolution and go in-game.
FunkyFr3sh Posted November 24, 2018 Author Posted November 24, 2018 I just checked, I actually got the problem too. Game starts up and menu is centered to the screen surrounded by black (That's actually not supposed to happen). When the gameplay starts it tries to change the resolution and fails in the same way shown in the screenshot provided by @Jezebel Tested this on win10 1803 using gamemd.exe (aka Yuri's Revenge single player) @cac32 @bright_hawkins @Jezebel You guys can try to use version 1.1.4.5, that one seems to work fine.

Excactly said, from 1.1.4.5-1.1.4.8, every file can not run! I must use a ddraw.dll made by toni spets long time ago, it can use normally. Forgive my English, I am Chinese.

jackwan889 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Hi，I use this version (TS-DDraw.dll V1.1.4.14) to feel better, but in the Skirmish battle mode map preview effect color distortion than this old version (TS-DDraw.dll V1.1.3.3), Sometimes the menu disappears when you store the game. I don't know if I can improve it? Thank you! Edited March 7, 2019 by jackwan889

Jezebel, bright_hawkins , cac32, I have been researching Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge (AI) for more than 15 years and found that a bug in PadAircraft has not been solved (Skirmish mode): for example, [TaskForces] 0=4, A-10 (fighter) [ScriptTypes] 0=0,31=0,62=49,03=0,74=0, 25=0,1 At this time, more (more than 300 fighters) fighters (8House) appeared in the game map, human players + 4AI (House) vs 3AI (House), when the game played 3AI (House) opponents only 1AI left (House), this fighter is prone to jumping all the time and cannot take off normally, If this time to destroy the airport, the game overflows. If this [TaskForces] group has 0=1, A-10 (fighter), this time to destroy the airport, the game will not overflow, you can continue to play. Please forgive me, the English of a Chinese.

mike_athome Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Hi I found that cnc-ddraw was more stable than TS-DDraw (Windows 10 64-bit). 1
RaVaGe Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I can confirm this. Running Windows 10 Pro x64 and playing Yuri's Revenge in a borderless window. + Good FPS + Good Latency + Fixes ALT+TAB + Doesn't lag the game while in the background (tabbed out). - Poor scaling on bilinear, game looks a small bit blurry. - ALT+F4 doesn't close game on loading screen when a player doesn't load.
Iran Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Contact funky about the scaling and alt+f4 issue. The alt+f4 issue should be easy to fix.
