Thanks. It worked for me on Windows 8
Hi everyone!
I think I got it figured out what the problem is for the Red alert II/Yuri's Revenge. Along using the CC Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge Graphics Patch FIX! Windows 8/10, I also used the compatibility program of Windows 10 built in the RA2MD.exe and the RA2.exe within the RA2 directory. By mistake I found out what works when I kept running the program until it worked with the compatibility program that Windows 10 offers by right-clicking on those 2 programs and trying the wizard, but you don't really have to do that! All you have to do after right-clicking properties on the RAMD.exe and RA2.exe applications in the RA2 folder and selecting the Compatibility tab, 2nd to the general tab, is click the box that says: (Compatibility mode / Run this program in compatibility mode for: ) and select on the drop down menu there: (Windows 7). Also select the box near the bottom: (Run this program as an administrator). I remembered eventually that these games worked very well for Windows 7, the last O.S. I OWNED! Do this the same way for the other application, close the directory or folder, and then try running the game. Hope this works and enjoy!!!
I Used the graphics patch first and it didn't work, so to make it clear to everyone, you might want to try what I did first or do the patch first, then both, but what I did was easier, so let me know guys out there what works?! Thanks!!!
I'm planning to apply your solution first. I hope this works.
By the way, is this applicable for Tiberian Sun too? It has a similar problem.
Thanks!
I would use this method for Tiberium Sun - https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/2606-tiberian-sun-patches-fix-for-the-windows-8-10-menu-problems-and-more/?tab=comments#comment-22522
Worked like a charm and no crashes throughout both Tiberium Sun and Firestorm.
