Windows 8/10 problem. Use windowed mode. Usage of TS-DDRAW renderer is recommended

[Alexhandr]

Whenever I try and start a skirmish, campaign, or multiplayer game, instead of launching MO, it launches vanilla YR. Any ideas of what could cause this?
I tried a full reinstall of both RA2 & the mod. The issue persists. I played this just last week and no issues were had. I've been playing it since 3.3 came out no issues. Until now.

Alexhandr: Can you upload syringe.log?

Hello! I'm using a 75 hertz monitor and I use windows 10. When I start the MO it only runs 60 fps. And when I choose windowed mode my whole windows switching to 60 hertz. So my game looks like it lags. Especially in campaign and skirmish (in fast mode) moving the screen seems slow down the game and the cursor moving like weird. When I just installed the game I used the default rendering setting and it was just unplayable. Then I switch to TS-DDRAW and it kinda fixed it. But still, can I run the game on 75 fps? On skirmish (faster mode, default one) the game and the scroll speed is working like a charm but the cursor movement is like mouse acceleration, its sliding or something. I think maybe I dont need to run in 75 fps but I 100% need to fix this mouse thing.

Also what is "scroll coasting" guys?

[Alexhandr]

Uhh, so... much like Divine on page 14, this issue simply resolved itself. I went to bed in frustration. Woke up, tried it again, and it now launches perfectly fine. I'm absolutely befuddled as to what the issue was...

Probably 'reset fix stuff' as Speeder said during the early days of release

No I don't think you can or need to run it at 75 fps. The game will run so fast that you can't keep up with it. The speed setting in the skirmish menu is actually the fps cap (RA2 doesn't provide Frameskip. Apparently they make use of fps to tweak the speed)

As for mouse, I think it's in the ingame settings

is Yunru supposed to be immune to desolator damage ? because I had some sickles shoot her and she was not taking a bit of damage for a full minute.

 

if that is the case, then maybe don't allow them to auto target her ? because that's just a waste of time and I have to micro even more

That's to make her deploy attack viable, Super.

 

Also, wrong thread

A friend experienced a critical error during an online multiplayer match. This was very late game. The other three players in the match were able to finish the game without him. He said he alt+tabbed to another window prior to the crash, but was unsure whether the two issues are related. He was using the IE-DDRAW renderer as the TS-DDRAW renderer caused slowdowns. The game was set to full screen mode.

 

The log-files are attached to this post. The issue occurred during the last match (February 9th, >22:00).

Alt tabbing spells doom for win 8/win 10 users. Afaik the only solution is to play on windowed mode

I downloaded Mental Omega, but apparently my gamemd.exe file is version 1.0.0.5

 

I am writing cause i cant start any missions in the game, it does the magic trick and comes back.

 

i am just wondering if it HAS to be 1.0.0.1, i have my old red alert 2 and yuris revenge discs that i bought, and i found a keygen for the games cause someone threw out all the disc boxes one day. (NOT ME)

Pretty sure it has to be, I'll pm you with a link to me 1.0.0.1.

[MysticWolfZombie]

Thanks man.

The game crashed while drawing the range circles under the super weapon cursor. Crashes in graphic methods are hard to analyze, because they depend on so many things. This could be just a random fluke.

Red Alert 2's latest version is 1.006, Yuri's Revenge did start at 1.000 again and the latest version is 1.001. If you got YR 1.001, all is well. If it's 1.000, you can patch it to 1.001. But if you really got a gamemd.exe with a version of 1.0.0.5, then something is wrong.

[Handepsilon]

Make sure you don't have any mod that modifies the gamemd too

Hi, guys.

Thanks to you, finally I can play MO 3.3.

However, I have some problems with playing.

With kind installion guide, I could play in game, but EVERY TEXT is gone.

 

Whenever the text comes, whereever the text should be, there's only MISSING texts as below picture.

 

I want to play campaigns, but because of this problem, I had to play only skirmishes.

 

My RA2:YR's region is KR, and I patched 1.001, uninstalled NPatch.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

This is because your game is not in English. In ver 3.3.1, coming soon, this will be fixed.

[Theodore Buckley]

I am not sure if this is the right forum for my issue, but the selction screen for skrimish and multiplayer, The factions box, overshadows the settings box. I am using full screen. http://imgur.com/gallery/RZSH8 , Visualization if necessary

I don't know if this has been discussed or solved before but, the game occasionally crashes when I select too many units at once and order them to move on the same location.
Last one happened two minutes ago when I almost finished Godsend :( Now I have to start everything from the beginning.

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

This happens when you haven't changed your renderer, graphics options or maybe changed the resolution.

 

First and foremost, no matter who you are, some renderers will cause you lag, so select all of them and see which one gives you the best results. (Usually it's either IE-DDRAW or TS-DDRAW)

 

Normally, this should improve performance, but if it is still bad then decrease the graphics to low.

 

If the performance is still bad then reduce the resolution a bit.

 

 

BUT... if you have already done of all of this then sorry, the game used to crash for me when I selected a lot of units before I configured my renderer.
