Allen508 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Posted June 27, 2023 That is a new one. Do it also happen with the current CnC Net version too?
Drewpants Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) It's the latest version of Red Dawn - the C&CNet versions of both RA and C&C seem to be fine. - Also I've noticed that saving will stop crates from appearing in skirmish games and cause tib not to regrow. Provided you can get into the menu and reload, this will sometimes fix SOME of the ore/tib fields and some times cause crates to start working again. It's really odd. Edited July 3, 2023 by Drewpants
Allen508 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Posted July 4, 2023 RD like CnCNet at the time use 2 exe. ra95.exe is for the single player and stock skirmish and ra95-spawn.exe for the CnCNet skirmish and online play. Depending on how you are playing skirmish you may be able to grab the ra95-spawn.exe from a current CnCNet version. You can also try using an more up to date ddraw.dll/ddraw.ini. The RedDawnConfig.exe should still work with it I think. If not you can also copy over the RedAlertConfig.exe and rename it too. Far as I know the ra95.exe I use was edited by Iran and has code that wasn't ever ported to the CnCNet .exes so It can't be change/updated as it would break things in the single player missions. Maybe an update of the ddraw.dll/ddraw.ini. would fix menu problem. As for saving skirmish games bugs. This may have been a bug from back than as the stock game didn't let you save skirmish games and it may have been fixed in the last 9-ish years.
Drewpants Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 That's in pretty interesting - thanks! I played a little today without too many issues, but I'll look into what you've suggested above and let you know how I get on.
Drewpants Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Moving the files over seems to have helped, although i also had to move mpgdll.dll. As an aside, I even got the mod running on the Steam Deck, although I'm seeing screen lock-ups so I'll copy the files over there too and see if that helps.

TaxOwlbear Posted August 7 Posted August 7 I started an LP which will cover the whole of the singleplayer portion of this mod. This is going to be a long one! 1 1
Drewpants Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Me again... So I've recently tried to fire this up on a laptop with AMD graphics and RA95 opens but only in the task manager. Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Allen508 Posted September 1 Author Posted September 1 Not had it my self but this is now using a vary old copy of ddraw. You could try updating to the current ddraw. Make a backup copy of your current ddraw files. (ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini) https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw/releases You will need the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini and maybe the cnc-ddraw config.exe as I have no idea what has or has not changed with the ddraw parts so the RedDawnConfig.exe Video Optaions may not work with the current ddraw.
Drewpants Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Thanks for providing support again after all this time, but the issue remains. I suspect machine's configuration just doesn't like the game. I've had similar issues with Radeon graphics and few other older games, so I'll move away from AMD in the future.

TaxOwlbear Posted yesterday at 09:48 PM Posted yesterday at 09:48 PM In that case I'm not sure what the issue could be. RA1 not working at all was my best guess, since the mod doesn't really made any modifications that should affect this AFAIK.
Drewpants Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago If anyone could help me I'd really apricate it - I love this mod. I've just had to reinstall Windows 10 on an old ThinkCentre that I was using to play old games. The last versions of Windows 10 just don't seem to like Red Dawn at all, which is weird because RA, Dawn of Tomorrow and classic C&C all seem to run just fine. I've copied files from the latest RA, but that doesn't seem to help, which is odd as that worked when there were slight bugs previously. Anyone got any ideas?
