I'm having this problem too and I'm using Windows 10 64bit. The game loads fine on Origin, but the main menu is in 640 x 480 resolution, and every time I try to change it to a higher resolution the screen either goes purple-y or totally blue; I had to use ctrl alt del to close RA2 whenever this happens. I've tried all the solutions here and here no luck ☹️ Any help would be much appreciated since I just got the C&C Collection and RA2 is one of the reasons why I bought it.
You have to go to the RA2 configuration file and chnage the settings manually. Then your game will load at 1024x768.
C:/Program Files/Origin Games/Command and Conquer RAII/ RA2 (configuration settings) file type.
this file will open as a notepad.
scroll down to the following and input your desired screen resolution.…
[Video]
ScreenWidth=1024
ScreenHeight=768
StretchMovies=no
hit save. And start the game.
enjoy!
There are additional settings required in the INI file:
[Video]
VideoBackBuffer=no
AllowHiResModes=yes
AllowVRAMSidebar=no
ScreenWidth=1920
ScreenHeight=1080
StretchMovies=no
