Dear MO team members:

      

      I have installed MO 3.3.2 and have a good time for a while. However, since I updated my win10 to the lastest version which is Build 16251 now, I can connect to CNCnet and join other players' room or host my room. but once launch the game, it shows others didn't load game which means our connection is broken.

 

      I don't know what i can show to you, but here is the Syringe.log:

// use spoilers!

In a word, the connection between others and me will break once the game is launched, but the CNCnet works well, it doesn't tell me that I disconnect. No sign of disconnection but cannot play with others.

 

 

Thanks for your work, let us have such a good game.

 

1. I suspect quite a lot that your router is blocking connection on several internet ports. I saw this kind of error once when I played World of Tanks.

 

2. Use spoilers to contain annoying long texts like this.

Juuki Amano: Thank you! I fixed the issue in Ares. Alas, there's nothing you can currently do to fix that.
(A workaround for released Ares versions is possible, but would just desync the game if not applied for everyone.)

StolenTech: This is a blitter error, a problem in one of the game's drawing functions. The reasons can be manifold and depend on memory usage, graphics card, and more. There's no known solution yet.

MrZhang: This is a crash I've seen some times already. This is related to cncnet.dll (for reference, VideoBackBuffer at 6BC0DC). AfaIk, no solution available yet.

hoy, back from the grave.  :xx:

 

here is my syringe log:

It simply cannot find your Yuri;s Revenge file of gamemd.exe.

 

Apart from the zip you diwnliaded, these files from Ra2 are also required:

- BINKW32.dll
- BLOWFISH.dll
- gamemd.exe (patched to version 1.001)
- ra2.mix
- ra2md.mix
- language.mix
- langmd.mix

If you already have them, check if your antivirus is blocking something.

If it isn't, try running MO as administrator.

And now, with more Intel. It doesn't matter with Renderer, and the player i try to play with told me that I got a X symbol after my name at the loading screen. I know that X symbol, the players with that X never load at the loading screen.

 

And @AlexB, what u mean is that there is not more MP for me, at least for now ?

HOY! here's an update on my progress today:

 

I reinstalled everything fresh and started messing with the file paths and what-not. - it didnt get me very far.

 

But, I started new and placed all of the files from the Command and Conquer Red Alert ll folder into the MO330 folder, then I placed all my exe files on run as administrator, then I switched syring and gamemd over to run compatibility mode XP SP3.

 

NOW- I start the game and I am inside of a game, hear audio from ambient environment and can even control my units..... but my screen is totally black......

 

How to fix this black screen, captain?

 

RESOLVED!!!!!

 

just as I posed this, I started toggling my renderer settings

 

IE-DDRAW works......

Hello i just got back into this, i run the game perfectly fine, but on the side there is no UI. When i deploy my mcv it all works great but the entire screen is just the game, there no Ui for the money, map, or buildings. PLEASE let me know if there is a fix for this i would love to play. Also when i hit the "esc" key it doesnt bring up a menu it just goes to a black screen. Yuri.png

Hello,

I have recently installed Mental Omega.

After starting, I encountered a message saying that "this image format is not supported".

I went and installed XNA Framework.

The issue has been remedied, but another rises:

"method not found: Void PreviewExtractor.MapThumbnailExtractor..ctor(Rampastring.Tools.IniFile, Int32)"

The game then subsequenly crashes.

Syringe.log cannot be found in my game files.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I have all the required files mentioned above in the required directory. I have set all three application to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3, and also to run as administrator. However, when I click "Launch Game,"  I get the follower error; "Failed to initialize. Please reinstall."
