Hi all. I recently downloaded this Mod after moving on from Twisted Insurrenction. I purchased a digital copy of The Ultimate Collection through Amazon and installed RA2/YR through Origin, which I read is already patched to the correct version of YR. I copied the required files from the RA2 folder to a MO folder, and extracted the MO zip into the same folder. Long story short, I feel like I've completed the download and isntall procedures correctly.

 

I have two issues related to gameplay/system performance in-game.

 

1. At home I have a desktop I built this summer. It has a 3.5GHz i5, 16GB of RAM, a 4GB GTX 980, and an 850 Pro SSD, and I've had no issues playing any other games on it. For example, I run CS GO on max settings at 200FPS.

 

This computer has issues running Mental Omega. I switched from High to Low detail, and changed from a full-screen view to a smaller windowed mode. The game seems to run fine if I don't move the mouse, but as soon as I scroll in any direction it slows down considerably.

 

2. I gave my Surface Pro 4 to my brother last year after I bought a new one. It has a 2.4GHz i5, 4GB of RAM, and an Intel HD 520 chip with approximately 1GB RAM. This laptop experiences the same performance issue as my desktop (drop in performance when moving the mouse), except the effect is even more pronounced. Also the game seems to run a tad slower altogether.

 

I read in the FAQ that the min. requirements for MO are "more than what is required for RA2". How much more are we talking? When I google RA2 sys. requirements I see a 266MHz Pentium, 64MB RAM, and 2MB VRAM. I would consider my SP4 to be "considerably better" than those requirements, and I assume it should be able to run MO on minimum settings. I should also mention, this laptop ran the Twisted Insurrection mod flawlessly (which, granted, runs off the Tiberian Sun engine, not the RA2 engine). We played that mod online together without issue, but it took us like 4 hours to finish the only game we've played on MO because anytime either of us moved our mouse it significantly dropped the speed of the game.

 

What is causing these issues and how can I fix them.

 

Thanks!

the problem is not the requirements , it's the game itself that is outdated by today's operating systems.

 

I used to have that mouse moving problem as well though, what I did :

1- opened the compatibility of both the gamemd.exe (the one with the yuri logo) and the syringe.exe and put those 2 on (service pack 2 for windows xp) and run as admin.

2- in the options menu : run the game in full screen,but not in borderless window (because that was the main reason of the issue for me) and use the TS_DDRW renderer

You are a genius. Just tried this on the SP4 and everything works fine when scrolling. I had everything set to run as admin, but hadn't thought to change compatability settings. I also had no clue what the rendering settings did. Thanks!

I think that is related to the renderers. Try changing to another one in the client.

Go to the compatibility options of gamemd.exe and select 16-bit color mode. Also run as administrator.

There is some problem in the map (4) Moonlit Bay in Capture mode. There was a flag that should be 2nd players, but it's other player's.

That might be a problem. Sorry for edit.

wizard_sunday: This crash happened to several people. Still no solution yet, afaik.

DerKrieger85: Could it be the game is set to run as admin, and the MO client is not?

Famaso: Then you most likely have a non-english version of Yuri's Revenge. I added support for language-independent mods to Ares, and as I understood, this will be used in the next update.

Shelbythetriagularsquare: This is a problem in Ares and has been fixed in the latest release already. There is no official solution for MO yet, but I rather recommend to wait a bit than to update Ares manually, because this will cause desyncs in multiplayer matches.

I tried to launch skirmish or campaign, but it don't launch instead of not leaving any message error. I tried to reboot and reinstall it again, but it won't do any positive reaction.

 

What happened to my game?

 

Is that happens when I activate older MO version or original Yuri's Revenge?

 

Because first time I activate Yuri's revenge after I discovered my MO Client won't launch game, I opened Yuri's revenge:

 

'Please insert Yuri's Revenge CD'

By the way, I've played MO 3.3 on Windows 10.

 

On first time, no problem.

 

But today, is the worst New Year's Eve, in case of problem I get now. And I don't know what's wrong and what did I mistaken.

 

My bro decided to battle in 2016-2017.

Linken-Nightmare: Can you upload syringe.log after trying to run MO 3.3?

Famaso: You would need the english language file. If this is read, then Ares should read the MO language file, too. Ares only loads language files that are either the same language as the game lor language neutral.

Solais: That is a stack overflow in the pathfinding routines. Could be the map has a problem somewhere.
