hello,I think this is the right section to post this (?)

 

anyway,me and my friends were trying to play together,when we play 2 players it's fine,3 players fine too,but when all 4 of us play together the game desyncs after 1-2 minutes after starting a match,we tried enabling debug or even search for updates but nothing changes,also we tried different maps,and there was no randoms to avoid desync either,any help please ?

[mevitar]

Does it always happen when the same player joins you? Check it, because it does sound like it.

If that's the case, it would suggest that this person installed something wrong, or has some files he shouldn't have. So best if he reinstalls MO and tries again.

When I try to launch either Mental Omega or CnCNet I go to the launcher and click either option respectively, but it launches a program called Main Executable For Mental Omega and nothing happens. I have waited several minutes and the program just runs in the background and does nothing. I have tried giving admin privileges to all Mental Omega .exe files and it still doesn't work.
Hope you can help,

Okay I can't find it so here goes. I can't seem to get the updates to work and I have no idea what I am doing wrong here.

[CLAlstar]

You cannot get updates to work because there are not any updates to get for now. Simple.

You'll need to post more info for us to help you (like the syringe.log file). Also check if your anti virus isn't blocking the game from launching.

What else can I tell you to help?

[mevitar]

What is your operating system?
What anti virus program do you have?
Also, try disabling your anti virus for a moment, and check if it works then.

sorry for not mentioning, it was not my antivirus software, I run Windows 10.
PC specs are a GT 740m GPU, intel i7 CPU and 8gb ram.

Option 1: Set all .exe files in the folder with MO to run in administrator mode (yes, literally all of them). If that won't work, try to set compatibility to WinXp or something like that.

Option 2: Remove wsock32.dll from your MO folder, and launch the game through Play Mental Omega button. Do not launch the game through CnCNet at all. Launching CnCNet on Win 10 will make you unable to play at all. So even though you won't have access to multiplayer, you will still be able to play skirmish and the campaign.

You should try the second option first, though.

Also, here's a thread with people trying to make MO run on Windows 10, so it might be useful if you encounter other issues. http://forums.revora...-on-windows-10/

I tried option 1 and it didn't work. The problem is the whole reason I got Mental Omega is to play with a friend, oh well I guess I need to wait for a patch.

[mevitar]

So i suppose it works to you without the CnCNet stuff, then?

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about the CnCNet issue, since the version we're using seems to have problems with Win 10. To use a newer version, we need a completely new launcher, so it will take a while.

You can still try playing via hamachi. Launch through Play Mental Omega, and if Hamachi is set up correctly, you should still see eachother in the LAN lobby (never tried it myself with MO, though).

Hi, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit; but Mental Omega not run

[Ignacio Juan Sorensen]

it says me 

"BINKW32.dll is missing" 

[CLAlstar]

You havent installed Mental Omega in directory with Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge

[Gignbyte]

Hi, I installed MO 3.0 repeatedly to the origin version of RA2 and YR but crashes with the message "the mental omega launcher has stopped working". I tried changing compatibility to windows 95, 98/me, xp service pack 3 but to no luck. Any ideas to how to get it working again?

[mevitar]

Set all .exe files in the game folder to run in administrator mode.

Hello creators of this (supposedly) awesome mod.

Today I tried to run your mod, but I repeatedly encounter a problem which hinders my ability to play this mod and therefor fully experience it.

My problem is the following, I have a clean install of Yuri's Revenge from The First Decade.

The install of Mental Omega 3.0 happens flawlessly as well.

When I start Mental Omega, in the menu all is well.

However, when I start a skirmish map, as soon as the game starts, exactly the right side of my entire monitor remains black, and the game itself plays on the left side, with atrocious graphical distortions.

I am talking about color distortions here, no tearing or such. The colors are very distorted.

Any idea what is wrong?

[mevitar]

You need to post actual ingame screenshots.
Does YR work fine?
