Have problems with C&C:reloaded - Mod manager v 3.7.
Different error messages from Mod manager in spite of Yuri's Revenge installed from original disc.
Below end of long log. Can anybody tell where the Reloaded files etc. should be found in relation to original RA2 folder.

what is the path to folder that the orginal c&c creates that is where does mod manager 3.7 expet to find c&c files ?

[FS-21]

In:
D:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert™ II\
Exist a folder called CnCReloaded? if yes that location is where the installed should have placed the mod files so if none of the ways to find the game path worked you can put it manually in the options tab & restart the program:
- In C&C:Reloaded text box
D:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert™ II\CnCReloaded\mod
- In Yuri's Revenge Box:
D:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert™ II\

An example of that Options tab (in my case, in your case should be that long path):

And the log when the program start without problems:


I don't know the reason but it could a mistake I made for the "™" symbol (or something happened in the installation process) . I have to do some tests in the next release

EDIT: Re-reading your log I noticed something, inside your "Command & Conquer Red Alert™ II" folder exist another folder called "RA2"?

Thanks, setting correct paths seems to help one step. No errors left in the log file as below but pressing on start only results in a new error prompt window and the executable crashes.
Window header: Yuri's revenge (Mod by FS-21)
Window text: This product requires 16 bit pixel depth.
What does this requirement mean and howto fix it?

Disable the "Run the game in a Window (16 bits screen mode required!)" option in the Options tab,,, I have that option selected because I'm doing multitask :-P but by default this option isn't selected, you should not use that option.

To have the game in windowed mode you have to put your Windows screen color depth to 16 bits but not many people use it because the Win desktop looks horrible.

Thanks a lot. That solved the problem

[Matti]

Have a related problem with CnCR Manager.exe. It won't disable and the "disable C&C: Reload" and "PLAY" buttoms do not work.

My installation was made by;

1. running CnC_Reloaded_1.0.2012.07.07_setup.exe from the original Yuri's Revenge game folder

2. installing the update from CnC_Reloaded_1.0.6.2012.11.06_update.exe

3. Ares is updates to version  0.2p1

4. This produces the C&C Reloaded files & folders and CnCR Manager.exe  indicates that Yuri's Revenge version 1.001 is present and the below logfile:

 

The logfile indicates an unknown C&C: Reloaded version and some missing file?

Is there any advise on how to resolve this problem(s) ?

Plesase advise.
