Hello,

I recently installed Mental Omega with no difficulties. I was able to play online via the "Play on CnCNET" option.

Fast Forward five days.
I am no longer able to use the "Play on CnCNet" option.
When I click on it, the following error messages occur:

That is strange.

As a 64-bit user I can already confirm in advance that working on a 64-bit OS doesn't cause this issue.

That's all I know.

If he wouldn't have the MSVC redists, he couldn't even launch the program (certainly not .NET issue). BTW, what is your Syringe version? Just to be sure this ain't an outdated 0.6 or earlier Syringe before I go and build a debug version just for this...

 

0.7. More specifically, 0.7.0.2. Sorry for being such a bother! I'm honestly just baffled by why MO so stubbornly refuses to run.  There isn't even a hint as to what the problem might be, and it's just strange that even log files are being uncooperative with facilitating...well, any sort of info.

Version: 3.0 Beta Revision 1

YR Version: Plain 1.0

I am operating on Windows Vista, 32-bit with the C++ components installed

 

There is no screenshot to report this error as it happens within one second.

 

I have not played the game at all due to this error, therefore no new content are made after the installation.

 

Reinstalling all components (YR and RA2) did not help at all.

 

 

 

 

Here's what happens within the second after hitting the Play button: (Debug and Windowed boxes are checked)

 

System changes theme, a few black boxes fills up the screen, then nothing else after that. I have checked my Processes and found Syringe and the game.exe that corresponds to MO. Both are on average about 2,000K - 2,500K with the CPU not putting any priority with it at all.

 

 

I really want to try out this mod and thanks for the help.

You need the YR 1.001 patch. -_-

[Speeder]

For what?

[67ironwhale]

My RA2 is Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Repack. I got it by downloading. The unique thing about this set is it got no cutscrene.

(Which i dont mind, because it's already hard enough to download it.)

 

I re-install the game with the installer file (with Yuri face icon). Then I install the MOD, locate to the folder of this RA2. "C:\Program Files\Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Repack". The problem is this. 

 

 

Or I'd better download the game with mod instead

We cannot guarantee that MO will work with cracked/hacked/repacked versions of the game. Getting a legitimate copy of the game is the easiest way to solve this!

You can also get a multiplayer-only version of the game for free. Check out these instructions on how to get them.

I downloaded all of the strike team stuffs. Where should I put Tiberian Sun and XCC Game Spy.

 

Other stuff I put in the "C:\Westwood\RA2" the counterfeit location of the game that Mod installed into.

 

PT I just install the remaining file on where it usually be. Yet, after modding, problem isn't solved.

 

But application error changed.

You don't need Tiberian Sun or XCC Game Spy.

 

This is quite perplexing. May we have a screenshot of your installation folder? 

[mevitar]

Issues with launcher usually mean you lack .NET or something else in your system.

This is the game i got from strike team. It's make the same problem when i mod it.

You still didn't say if you have .NET 3.0 and 3.5 installed.
Anyway, it still won't work, because MO is a Yuri's Revenge mod, and you installed Red Alert 2 only.

It's work. Have too much fun with Pacific Front forgot to tell you this. Anyway, My WinRAR cannot read zipped .mix file which is soundtrack installation. I can just upgrade WinRAR or I need another programs.

 

And THANKS

And the Mental Omega FAQ says it doesn't require an up-to-date Yuri's Revenge version. Probably

 

I still updated it to the latest version, not working still.

Make sure no anti-virus or any other program is blocking Syringe.exe (it takes 8 seconds to load each line? ).

My WinRAR cannot read zipped .mix file which is soundtrack installation.

You mean you're trying to extract files from the mix file? That's not how it should be done.

.mix file is zipped in the WinRAR file. My WinRAR cannot read it, so it cannot extract the file. However, if I still have to extract the file from .mix again, I don't know how to do it and don't know how to make soundtrack works in the game.

[mevitar]

Redownload the file. If it still won't work there's something wrong with your WinRAR.

[Graion Dilach]

If the file was compressed with LZMA compression (7Zip can do such) and the WinRAR is an old version, then it's likely to be expected. WinRAR sucks anyway. 7Zip all the way.
