I have a problem loading a skirmish game with this mod. When it reaches 80-90% it crashes. I have followed the instructions you put with the mod. I can wait for your'e reply.

I'm going to need some more information to help:

 

• Do you have official copies of Red Alert 2 & Yuri's revenge patched to v1.001.
• Is the v0.3 test version of Ares installed.
• Are you running the game via the "RunAres.bat" instead of the normal RA2MD.exe.
• Make sure there are no other mod files in the Red Alert 2 folder other then the D-day ones.

My Red Alert & Yuri's Revenge was downloaded from torrent but the original ISO of those. I know it's pirated but also working like the original one's too. It sort like a pirated legit copy of the game.

 

My Ares Is A Combined with Ares 0.1 & Ares 0.3 Test Version.

 

I Run "RunAres.bat" but with some Compatibility Modes and the Syringe is Compatibility Mode too.

The Compatibility Mode is Windows 98/ME

This the list of compatibility enabled .exe & .bat :

game.exe

gamemd.exe

RA2MD.exe

RA2.exe

YURI.exe

RunBat.bat

Syringe.exe

 

 

I removed other mods in my RA2 folder since I tried to find out if it will work when I remove the other modifications.

 

I'll wait for your'e next reply. Thank You.

Who told you to combine Ares? Also, how do you combine Ares? Use whatever Mig Eater said should be used for D-Day beta. Also, your Yuri's Revenge must be patched to 1.001 for Ares to work properly.

[Graion Dilach]

There are two ways possible to combine.

 

Way 1: mix the dll and the inj. Bad idea, because if the inj lists more hooks than the dll has code for, the uncoded hook can thriow out anything (like jumping to a random offset and executing data/garbage).

 

Way 2: have both Ares dll/injs in the folder weith different names but still paired. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! Syringe can syringe both dlls into the code and it'll be total random which ones executes first/at all.

 

So to sum up: you sir did it wrong.

My Yuri's Revenge is patched to 1.001

I can play other mods as well.

 

My mistake but the readme file said is to combine Ares 0.1 and Ares 0.3 Test Version Build.

Maybe i'm just blind. Sorry about that.

 

Is the Compatibility Mode is ok? No problems about that?

[Bloodyboy22]

How to install Ares 0.3 and how to run it?

This is maybe the problem.

http://ares.strategy-x.com/unstable/ go to this, download the Ares 0.3 Testing Branch, get the dll and inj out from the package, copy them to your RA2 folder.and run the RunAres.bat you got from Ares 0.1 pack.

[Mig Eater]

By combine he means override, at the time of release the v0.3 test branch didn't have the Syringe or .bat files included (don't know if it does now). So I told people to install v0.1 first then override the dll & inj with the ones from v0.3.

 

For next release I'm just going to include all the files necessary with the mod, should help stop all the confusion people are having with Ares.

[Graion Dilach]

Neither does it now, probably unstable brancves never will include Syringe. But uh-huh I see what he means now.
