Hey.

Problem with running this game on Windows 8.1. Installed everything correctly, from Ultimate Collection. When on the loading screen my friend who has Windows 8.1 the game will just refuse to load. And then after about a minute, I'll enter the game, auto win and then exit to desktop.

So the mod is unplayable on Windows 8.1 I assume?

I wonder if there will be a complete internal error deciphering for Ares and RA2. Relying on Modenc list is not so helpful since some errors are not listed
 
Exception handler fired! Exception C0000005 at 004C2C19

 

Anybody can inquire me what this means?

This mod is incredibly janky. It was quite fiddly to get working at all (which is fair enough) but i've thus far not successfully got through a single skirmish game without a crash.

 

Firstly, the only way I can get it to run at all is at 2560x1440 resolution and in borderless windowed mode (fullscreen just yields a black screen).

 

Secondly, after a few minutes, the screen will freeze but the game will keep 'working'.

 

If the screen doesn't freeze it just crashes with an error message. This happens almost immediately or within 10 or so minutes.

@Handepsilon: Without anything else, like the except.txt file or a full crash dump, I can't tell you much. The crash happened when a unit was destroyed (C++ way, not by shooting at it). The game wanted to mark an electric bolt that unit was (apparently) emitting as now ownerless. Either that bolt data was corrupted, or the unit being destroyed had some corrupted memory. Can't tell without more info. Could also be something else.

 

"Some"? ModEnc lists only a handful of errors, which came up very often. It's supposed to be a quick reference for the most frequently encountered problems. It's not supposed to give reasons for every possible crash, and such a list would have at least millions of items (most of which wouldn't tell you what exactly went wrong). Also, the addresses for the game exe are fixed, but loaded dlls' adresses (Ares, operating system, drivers) change all the time, at least with every new version. So, usually work needs to be done to investigate each crash manually and find out what happened.

 

@Chublis: What does the error message say?

ah, this might have something to so with me modifying Typhoon to fire Railguneer projectile then

EDIT : I've attached the except.txt that occured when the crash happens (this one only crashed me while not crashing my partner, StolenTech). Here's the map that caused the crash for better references https://cdn.discorda...48/parallel.map

@Alex B Something along the lines of 'the main executable for Yuri's revenge has stopped working'.

Hey guys,

 

Ive been getting a fatal error when playing Ghost Hunt Campaign mission. Its happened several times and i can never complete it. The latest crash involved me retaking my 'stolen' deployed MCV and upon capture i hit 'Q' my hotkey for build, and it instantly crashed. Below is the debug attachment for the time playing the game and the debug after it if needed.

 

https://ufile.io/slnkv (Debug file created after playing the game)

https://ufile.io/roeq2 (Debug file created during the game) 

 

I dont know which one is required. 

Thanks!

The client launches fine, but when i try to play a game it fails, gives me this error saying "failed to find specified file" and returns me to the setup screen.  What's wrong?

You probably didn't add the necessary files from your Yuri's Revenge 1.001 as listed in mentalomega.com/install

Help! I played MO a lot on my previous laptop smoothly (Win8.1). I just got a new laptop few days ago (Win10) and the game just lagging (I did check the VideoBackBuffer=False), and when I press "esc" to pause the game (not alt+tab out the game), it just freeze and can't run anymore.

The original RA2 Yuri is fine (at least I didn't tell any lagging), and the pause function is fine, while I also notice if I enter the "control" in the main screen it will immediately crash. Does these issues has some relation? If not , how can I fix the lagging and pause game issue? I can post any system information if someone need.

Sorry I'm those kind of "struggle with 3C product" person so I have very little knowledge about these phrases, so first what is/where can I found my renderer in my PC? I'm using i5-5200U CPU and Intel® HD Graphics 5500

This mod has to be the most buggiest and awful thing ever. Got it running on a new computer because it flat out refuses to work on Windows 8.1. So got the mod running on Windows 10 but THEN the game is unplayable due to the awful AWFUL lag, that only happens with this mod. It doesn't happen with any other CnC Mod or RA2/YR on it's own

 

This mode is terrible, the worst mod for RA2. All these cool amazing units hinders because it's unplayable. What a complete utter waste.

 

High rated mod on ModDB, complete lies.

I'd love to help, but your tone there seems to indicate that you don't want to be helped :v

@pegasus : I mean the MO's renderer, it's in the same menu as Video Backbuffer. If it's on default, try using TS-DDRAW.

ok so I'm trying to get the mod working on my laptop, and here is my issue:

i have origin red alert 2, and it would boot up, and I would get the audio and a mouse, but my screen would be black.  I had to download ddwrapper, and that fixed the issue

mental omega i have the same issue. I can here the audio and interact with the game, but i can't see it. I had ddwrapper in the MO directory so i dunno. It runs in windowless mode, until i move my mouse beyond the window, upon which point the game crashes. I've tried running the game full screen on all resolutions and it does not work. help.

Well, I blame his Windows 8 and 10. Support for RA2 is best on Windows 7.

But hey, after setting the renderer to TS-DDRAW, the lag's gone for Windows 8. It's just that I can't alt tab without crashing.

Try different renderer on the settings
