C&C problems

@Rafael274 Thank you for following my instructions to make a new topic 🙂 To fix the DirectX 9 error you have to actually install DirectX 9 (as DX 10-12 will be automatically installed but DX9 not). Follow these instructions: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals#DirectX_8.1_error_.28Windows.29 (intructions can also be applied to many other CNC games.) If that doesn't fix that error: look for "dbghelp.dll" at the installation directory and delete it.

I have not much experience with RA2/YR, but by googeling I found these possible solutions which many users reported as working. Can you try them and report to me if it fixes your problems? (I would try solution 2 and 3 first and if those didn't work, then try solution 1):

"There are only 3 reasons for this error:

Your windows runs in 32 bit color depth, which is usally the case since it is forced in win 8/10

Solution: Go into your Red Alert 2 folder, in there you will find "game.exe", "gamemd.exe" "ra2.exe" and "ra2md.exe", right click -> properties -> compatibility, Enable "Reduced Color Mode: 16bit"

2) High dpi scaling

Solution: Go into your Red Alert 2 folder, in there you will find "game.exe", "gamemd.exe" "ra2.exe" and "ra2md.exe", right click -> properties -> compatibility, Enable "Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings"

3) You chose a resolution that is not supported

Solution: You can change your resolution via ra2.ini and ra2md.ini - try 1280*720 (If the file doesn't exist, create it)
