varchar Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hello, on my very old computer I installed the CnCNet Client for RA2YR, but when I start, I get the message: "No suitable graphics card found." Is it possible to fix it? GPU: GIGABYTE RADEON 9250 CPU: P4 2.8GHz RAM: 1.5GB OS: Windows XP PRO SP3 Microsoft.NET Framework v4.0.30319 sorry for my English (google translator :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkeeton Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 You might be able install directx 9 and then it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra2Nub Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Wasn't the new client no longer XP compatible? iirc you needed at least DirectX10 which vista SP2 uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Your graphics card only supports directx 8.1, maybe that's why it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On page https://cncnet.org/yuris-revenge is support for Windows XP. I tried run cncnet client on another old PC with GPU Intel 82945G (Windows XP) and no error. All works fine. 11 hours ago, FunkyFr3sh said: Your graphics card only supports directx 8.1, maybe that's why it doesn't work You're probably right. On this computer I tried a cncnet client about two years ago and I did not have a problem. Maybe this is due to the new version of the Framework 4.0. Red Alert 2 does not need DirectX9, but the CNCnet client probably does. It's a little paradox. Is there any possibility to use an older client? I find in my backup files cncnet client v2.65, but game list don't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra2Nub Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 wow brings me back seeing that ugly as * client again. And no, its not, since a lot have changed compatibility wise between client versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougXPman Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I am also having this issue is there any way around it or can someone give me an old client? Because the main reason that I wanted to change to CnCNet is so that I could have an updated LAN game play for the computers that we have been using since the game was brand new. It would really awesome if I didn't have to change most of the computers out just to fix a really really bad designed LAN and to support a nicer picture.

Ptuin Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 bump. I have the same issue. It actually strange that the addon for an old game can't be run on an old hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIG Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I tried installing cncnet yr on my kubuntu OS and I get the same error. I installed it with a snapd and it says "no suitable graphics card found." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for now. I remember getting this error message when I did a clean install of the OS. Something was missing; a driver or something. I don't remember. I'm not sure what solved it for me, but It says something about the XNA Framework, so perhaps you need to install this:xnafx40_redist.msi In case that doesn't solve it, try this one:VC_redist.x86_2.exe Hope that helps. Good luck! Edited June 3, 2022 by Sam-I-am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
