RA1 freezes in game-menu

[PeacefulWarrior86DI]

Hi.

I've installed RA1 the full game (single campaign missions), but without the game-videos.

I run win10.

Whenever i start the game, it freezes in the game-menu.

I've tried different video-resolutions, 3d-acceleration methods (D3D, OpenGL, DirectDraw) but none works.

I've tried windows internal compatibility function (trying out both win98/ME and vista) but none works.

Any advice?

Best regards :)

How exactly can I reproduce this? I mean, how did you install the game with missions but without the game videos?

 

Are you trying to play missions or are you talking about the options menu in a multiplayer game?

I just re-installed the game.

Full web-install + CD2 (i want to play single campaign)

When i open up the game, the game freezes (app does not respond) in the main-menu of the game.

Only way to quit is by killing the task in Windows Task Manager.

Did it also happen with the default settings?

I see you changed the resolution, enabled windowed mode and it looks like your disabled the window border?

 

would be nice if you could attach your ddraw.ini and redalert.ini to your next post in case it only happens with these custom settings

 

All compatibility modes needs to be disabled btw, otherwise the game doesn't work properly
