Was worth a try... I don't know how to fix this. Does the original game work?

[mevitar]

You shouldn't run gamemo.exe independently. Use a batch file (you would have to make it yourself), or run through cncnet.exe (NOT the launcher). If for some reason cncnet.exe launches, but the game doesn't work, click on Settings, and make sure that the command line in that window has something like "gamemo.exe" -CD -LOG. It should work then.
If you want to run in windowed mode, add -WIN to that line. Also, windowed mode requires that your system is in 16 bit mode, otherwise it won't work.

Yes, I know, this was already suggested to me, the problem persists.

[mevitar]

From the things i've read that you wrote in the chat, nobody even mentioned running through CnCNet until now. Again, run through cncnet.exe, and tell us if it works. If it doesn't, then we'll try something else.

"Mental Omega Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close" shows up every time.

It's on Windows XP x64. Both .net framework 2.0 and VS runtime 2010 have been installed.

[mevitar]

You need .NET 3.0 and/or 3.5 to run the launcher.

What I meant Mevitar is that someone else, has suggested this to me, because I also asked around the IRC. As I said the problem persists. I have tried what you said.

[mevitar]

Perhaps you have another program that is interfering with the windowed mode. I know some programs can do that, but i can't really tell you which ones. You could try launching the game with as little background programs as possible, though.
Also, what gfx card do you use?

[XeronOverlord]

That's not a possibility, especially considering normal YR runs just fine in windowed mode and many other games I play I play in that mode.

My GPU is ATI Radeon HD 3600

[mevitar]

I don't have the logs now with me, i thought you said there that it happens to both YR and MO.

Only because other games work in windowed mode doesn't mean there is no program that would affect YR (or MO in this case). Very often it's just one program/game that is affected. I saw something like that happen myself.
You should still check it to be sure. Maybe even turn off your antivirus for a moment (even though i don't know how could it affect MO that only windowed mode doesn't work). Or either rollback to older gfx drivers, or update them to newest possible, if you didn't already.

If that won't help, i really don't know what could be the issue here.

I have the last driver version for my GPU. It only happens with Mental Omega. I am not running an antivirus on this computer. Gamemo itself is the only issue I've had with YR.

Try reinstalling YR and MO on a different directory

Ok, so. Starting up the game, it looks normal til i get to the Main Menu. 

No buttons at all.

You say play windowed mode. It demands i set to 16 bit, dont have a clue how.

It looks like it cant access update server either.

 

I run at Windows 10.

[mevitar]

Since apparently noone with Win 10 is going to reply, i suggest you use Google to find out how to change screen depth from 32 to 16 bit on Win 10.

Need help for menu screen:
Ever since Windows 10 I had to re-install red alert and yuri's revenge to get it to work again and it's working fine but for some reason MO3.0's menu doesnt show and isn't interactable.

Properties > Compatibility > Reduced Colour Mode > 16-bit (set it on gamemo.exe)

Post moved.
Run the game in windowed mode. Just remember to change depth to 16 bit.

Am I doing this right?

Yes, but the ingame resolution is by default set to the lowest possible, and you obviously didn't change it.

Edited by mevitar, 22 August 2015 - 12:10 PM.

I see, thanks but I realized that any resolution higher than 800 x 600 x 16 would crash after around 2 minutes or so.
