use different renderer in client options. Try using DDrawCompat or TSDDraw

(don't alt tab, you might crash the game)

On a completely fresh install of MO 3.3.3, moved over the RA2 files. Every time I try to launch a game at all, I get this error message and it prevents me from playing at all.

ok so i actully menaged to fix the no menu issue with some ddraw dll file i downloaded, but now the game speed is so bad and the cursor is flickering, as it turns out i actually used some other ddraw dll file for that, so now its normal game speed and no menu with old ddraw file, or bad speed and having menu with new ddraw..

 

any suggestions on how to get both working simultaneously? would really appreciate help on this, tnx

Money Source desyncs almost every time for me after the second objective, when the map gets expanded.

it sounds to me like something is preventing the computer from extracting things from the mix files. Have you copied all the files required from original YR?

I've ran into damn near every error and crash you can possibly get and have gotten by it, but this one crash eludes me and prevents me from playing the game. It happens when I move 10-20 squares from my base at the start of any match.

[CRASH]
MO3.3.3 crashes on Windows 7 x64 on switching back to desktop while a defense is firing.

I've confirmed this on different maps and with different weapons. Below is a most simple case with one single Prism Tower.
Defenses confirmed to be capable of causing this: ATESLA, TESLA, GAPILL

I don't know why, but the game felt inclined to read everything up to Waypoint240162, where it finally crashed.

 
Can't even find such a waypoint in fnobody.map, please double check

You can see the value 3AA22 (240162) as well as the name "Waypoint240162" on the stack.


Just in case:
fnobody.map
MD5: 842729AD24A3CB84F71E7D365775D481
SHA1: F5DBA5F59FBB74AB9C05947EB52EB69624050591
CRC32: D5A5C227

Are we talking about the same file version?

I don't know, haven't checked the file. I got all the info from the data on the stack and from the debug.log.

This is a bug in the original game, which I incidentally fixed a few days ago. It's available in the unstable test builds, but not yet officially released. Currently, you can't do much about it. This crash happens when a radial indicator is drawn (when placing defenses, or with a defensive or special purpose building selected, or while selecting the target of a super weapon).

Erm guys. I know this is offtop but why THE *UCK I can't put images or links here? I want to simply ask a question about the goddamn error that doesn't let me run this mod. Do I have some ban or something? Anyways I still can text it:

 

"This version of Yuri's Revenge only supports online play using CnCNet 5 (www.cncnet.org)"

 

This shit happened after 1 hour break of playing the game. I played some other games and then was gonna return to MO. And second time the game didn't let me to play it. Any ideas what the hell happened?

Syringe 0.7.2.0

The game's main file is set to be run as admin (either directly, or by running in some old Windows compatibility mode), but Syringe is not launched as admin, thus can't launch another process with admin rights.
To solve this, let the MO client also launch as admin, which will launch Syringe with admin rights, which in turn will launch the game requiring those.

Hmm... that looks like it could be a problem with restoring the building foundation of the building a player wanted to place while saving... and this would be the first issue with restoring savegames. I'll take a look. Thanks for the report! :)

I had to reinstall the game to make the mod work again. I still don't know what caused this error and what's the normal solution. By the way The First Decade sucks ass, it doesn't let me to delete it and doesn't install after that either.
