C&C Red Alert 2 black screen

solution is, to change in the RA2.ini file the DisableHighDpiScaling    = 1.

I could play for 10 minutes, but then the game crashed

Well campaign works fine for me so far. Done 5 missions with no issues, and one Skirmish match. But I guess there are many hidden hardware factors to that can cause separate random effects. I just hoped it would work for a few at least. On a different forum 3 got it to work with my version, and 4 did not so far that have responded.

The menu was small for me to, but not misaligned like you said in terms of activating the keys. But glad you sorted it out.

Please get your facts straight before posting things like that. DisableHighDPIScaling isn't an option of Red Alert 2. It's an option of DDWrapper.

While DDWrapper and its configurations may help fix problems in RA2, the option will certainly do nothing at all if you add it to ra2.ini, since DDWrapper won't look inside ra2.ini, and the RA2 game which reads ra2.ini doesn't know that DisableHighDpiScaling option.

I had the same problem. I was unable to run the game. It was giving a black screen with sound running in the background. I tried all the solutions in this thread without success. Finally, I found the solution on YouTube. I am running Win10 64-bit pro by the way.

Just click the link, watch the video, download the file, follow instructions & Enjoy...

Ah yes - ddwrapper. Nice to see a pack which includes a config. Now I know which options to recommend 🙂

This all worked really well for me and I'm on a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10. My only issue now is that when I'm in game and mouse over the bottom of the screen the mouse interacts with my taskbar and immediately crashes the game. 

Any ideas on this?

@glaci0us Perhaps playing in windowed mode might fix that? The way to do that is detailed in one of the earlier posts i this thread.
