If you removed the cncnet5.dll and still got crashes, then this must be something else. Can you upload syringe.log after a failed attempt to launch a skirmish game?

I want to know if there's a way to run this on Windows 7. Possibly, most people are doing that, but I'm not sure. There exist instructions online on running the core Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge on 7, but I'm not sure if these solutions are equally workable for this mod. Anyone care to weigh in on this?


There really is no problem running it on Windows 7. It's 8/10 that would have problems. For 7, all you need is follow the instruction in the site correctly

cncnet5.dll is still there. This is the same VBB crash.
Also, please use spoiler tags so others don't have to read all those numbers. :p

When updating from a fresh MO install (3.3.0), every time I apply the update, it always brings me to the 3.3.0 client screen and asks for the update which does not work.

Did you try getting the manual update? Just extract all the files to where your MO is and overwrite everything.

Now that looks like an anti-virus blocking something, although I can't imagine it still being 3.3.0 when you overwrite all of the mod's files with what's in the manual update package..

Did you do admin rights/compatibility settings before? Might need to apply again after patching. Check if your Syringe.exe wasn't deleted by some anti-virus by accident.

The new Fnal Alert just kinda shat on itself the first time I started it, as I tried to make start a new map, the editor appearently crashed and then restarted itself. Seems to be in working order now.

Will do, thanks for the help !

Edit: Thanks to Speeder's input, re-arrangement of compat settings solved the issue.

Thanks !

Suddenly unable to start any skirmish game or campaign mission. After a restart, all I get is a lack of anything loading and if I get rid of the client, it won't load anything at all, just going back to the client.


FiremariomkiZX, reporting in, Commander!

With the new DDrawCompat in game menus don't seem to work at all for me. The screen is still showing the game itself, though paused, while the cursor returns to default Windows cursor. The buttons of the menus work, but are not visible. Also, if I alt-tab and back, the menu graphics appear, but not any text, like the briefing. Played on Windows 10, 720p, fullscreen.

 

Also, just noticed, that with DDrawCompat, the "cutscenes" (like the Volknet Online one) are oversized.

 

Edit: Moved this post here, seems more appropriate.

Then that DDraw is probably just not good for your setup. They're not universal 'make-things-good'.

If you're unable to start a skirmish match or mission and it goes back to client, make sure your compatibility settings/admin rights are set properly, perhaps they got reset during the update.

Welp, just hoped that I could finally properly alt+tab with this renderer. Oh well. (Well, technically I can. :V)

 

 

Edit: Turns out, it's not just DDrawCompat, but any other renderer can have this problem. Sometimes even locking up the game with black screen. Windows 10 is really making Red Alert 2 barely possible to be played.

Hello, I have a problem again:

The game was working fine yesterday. But today I could not start any games after rebooting the PC, no campaign, no skirmish just getting kicked back to the client.

Any help is appreciated. I have Win10

I had the same problem today. Rebooting my PC again made the game work again, weirdly. (And yes, all of the exes are made to run as admin.)

Unfortunately, mine is just the opposite now. Reboot for two times, run as admin, syringe.exe not deleted, only getting back to the client soon as I hit the start button. :(

And I really have no idea what else to do, I tried all the renderer, resolution settings but no game start.

Kirov_Fury go to mo folder click prosperities and uncheck read only if its there and see if some files don't need to be 'unlocked" as their source is from internet.
And you can try turning off your antivirus or other programs.
