Will try, thanks. Outside these occasional crashes the game works just fine. I run the graphics settings at max (screen, textures, details etc.) but haven't configured the renderer.
BTW. What is the difference between TS-DDRAW, IE-DDRAW and others ?

Hello,

 

Apparently a lot of people have this problem but I am not very good with computers and I do not understand what you guys are saying.

I installed everything correct and I have always played my C&C mods for Generals with love.

I wanted to try them out for Red Alert, but everytime I press Launch Game for skirmish it just reopens the client.

I really love playing skirmish and I hope anyone can help me.

Like I said before I do not understand "computer language" so I need really specific help.

I use the origin ultimate edition.

 

Please help.

there is a no error ? just returns to the client ?

[TheGhostlyGamer]

@nablis123, it jsut returns me to the client. There are no other problems and no crashes. I also have the correct version etc.

[Handepsilon]

And not cracked?

[Nablis123]

And not cracked?

he said he has Origin version.

 

your resolution might be the issue, try to change it in the settings to fit your screen. also in the settings menu, there is the "renderer" option, try to see what fits your device the most (TS-DDRAW will most likely work if you have windows 10)

@nablis123 Origin went to compatability mode or something cause Yuri's Revenge wasnt working correctly for my pc. I will try the resolution and different resolution. Ill be back

Nope, I tried it but it wont work. It loads longer but still puts me back at the skirmish screen. :(

Hm, upload your syringe.log. Maybe we can decipher it for you

"syringe cannot be run like that" "usage Syringe.exe (exe name) (Augments)" What? XD

[Handepsilon]

not the Syringe.exe, Syringe.log which is in form of text document

[TheGhostlyGamer]

not the Syringe.exe, Syringe.log which is in form of text document

Sorry, my bad. Like I said I am really bad with computers.

This is what it said though.

Oh, you need to try running MO first (normally). When it fails to start, give us the log

Sounds like admin right/compatibility settings. Which Windows are you running on and what compatibility settings are you using?

[TheGhostlyGamer]

Sounds like admin right/compatibility settings. Which Windows are you running on and what compatibility settings are you using?

I have windows 10 and RA is in Windows XP pack 2. There were some problems in which the game would turn purple etc because windows 10 couldnt handle it, so people told me to change to windows XP in compatibility. Everytime I open yuri's revenge it does ask me to press Yes or No so maybe that has to do with the admin stuff?

[Solais]

In the compatibility settings, you can also set "Run as Administrator".

the (yes/no) stuff is "the running as administrator". 

 

I also have windows 10 and the game is working just fine for me. here is what I did :

1- set the gamemd.exe and syringe.exe to administrator and windows xp service pack 2

2- if the game does load but not launch, try using the compatibility troubleshooter that is just above the administrator check box, it will suggest a color and resolution that is it thinks is compatible with your device. if it doesn't work then undo it (do this to gamemd.exe only)

3- go into the settings for mental omega inside the client and put these settings : windowed mode : off, back buffer off and renderer is TS_DDRAW. 

 

again...this is what I did and I don't know if it will 100% work for you but i hope it helps.
