Hi there,

 

I'm having lots of trouble getting the D-Day mod to run, even though I followed all the instructions in the Readme file. When I run RunAres.bat as administrator, the command prompt appears for a second then closes. I tried running it through gamemd.exe, and while the game loaded, most of the graphics were unchanged from Yuri's Revenge, and many things were missing.

 

Here are the steps I took to install:

 

  • I used a legal copy of the Yuri's Revenge (It was installed from a retail version of The First Decade)

  • Made sure Yuri's Revenge was patched to V1.001 (I tried installing the patch but it crashed. After running the game, I noticed it was already updated to that version)

  • Dragged the contents of dday V3.7.7z and the 0.3RC1 folder into the Red alert/ Yuri's Revenge directory

  • Downloaded and installed the Visual C++ 2010 runtime files from here

  • Set the compatibility modes for gamemd.exe, RA2MD.exe, RunAres.bat, Syringe.exe and YURI.exe to Windows 98/Me (I later tried Windows XP Service Pack 3 with no luck)

 

I don't think I missed anything out. I have no idea what I did or did not do to prevent the game from running. I even tried installing D-Day V3.6.7 with the same results. I hadn't installed any other mods to Red Alert 2 - this was the first.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this mod looks fantastic.

 

Thanks.

Please upload your syringe.log file that appears in your game folder.

Here is my Syringe.log file: http://www.mediafire...7fq/syringe.log

 

I seem to have got it working... I just ran RunAres.bat normally, instead of as administrator. Thanks anyway :)
