Maybe dumb question but I get the video mode issue when trying launching skirmish or campaign, how do I solve that?

Hey,
I was interested in playing this mod cause it looked super interesting and fun for a personally nostalgic game. But I ran into the problem where the game can't go into campaign missions, and instead goes back to the title screen, and skirmishes can't be started either. I believe I've done everything as the instructions state, including:
-copying all relevant files to a separate folder
-installing the 3.3.0 mod pack and subsequently 3.3.6 patch
I've checked this forum and tried many of the solutions including:
-compatibility to Windows XP SP3
-administrator mode
-windows security settings for force randomizations of images and randomize memory allocations
-and restarting in between every step
I still have this problem. Here are my syringe logs if needed. Thanks in advance and cheers.

Hello, new player here. Asus K52Jr Notebook || Core i3 || OS : Windows 10, 64 bit || RAM : 8 GB || plenty HDD space.
Using TS-DDraw because all others cause noticeable stuttering. Detail is set to medium. Full screen.
Any game I start freezes and crashes without apparent errors after about 10-15 minutes.
This happens in both campaign and skirmish. I have tried a skirmish game even just by myself ( 0 AI players), while doing stuff and even just letting time pass without clicking anything or panning the view. Tried low detail and windowed video settings to no avail. I have tried running the game with various compatibility modes, including as administrator on all suggested files.
I have attached 4 log files : client, ddraw, debug, syringe.

Fresh install of Red Alert II and Yuri's revenge from Origin Games. I followed the Mental Omega instructions and created a new folder in the install folder and copied the required files over. I am able to launch and play campain missions. However, when I hit ESC to save, it freezes.

Hi,
did anyone experienced memory leaks in Mental Omega client application (3.3.6)? I'm running it in Linux via Lutris (wine version - lutris-fshack-7.2-x86_64). Application VSZ (virtual memory) grows from about 12 GiB endlessly. It is not necessary to start a game, just run a launcher and wait. At some point it uses all available physical memory (I have 16Gb) and starts to swap causing PC freeze/crash.
I'm not sure if it is related to Linux specifically, can not check it on Windows currently.
Below is a memory usage graph showing >35GB virtual memory allocated in ~50 min. It crashes somewhere after 50GB. i.e 1.5-2 hrs.

Could it be a renderer problem? Try DDrawCompact?

I am having this same issue.
Edit: Changing the renderer fixes this issue.

while not strictly speaking a mental omega problem this is the best place to ask the question . The only version of red alert i managed to run on my laptop is a tweaked one . (windows 10 and all those type of problems ) .
so in practice gamemd does nothing , and since mods run from it i have a big problem . mental omega give the fatal error cant load executable gamemd.exe

Hello! I have been playing Mental Omega for some time and have been really enjoying the mod. But now i am encountering an issue that is making the mod unplayable.
Ever since I logged onto CNCnet via the mental omega client, when i try to load a skirmish battle offline, my screen will go black for a second, then I'm booted back to my computer home screen, with the mental omega main/skirmish menu still on screen. any attempt to click on the game client and re-enter the game just keeps booting me out.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled both RA2/YR and Mental Omega mod, and this issue hasn't gone away. Please help. :(
