Try to disable the In-Game overlay in Origin settings. This resolved my game launch issues with Red Alert 2 and Generals.
so nw the extensions are showing and i have only 2 files with an .ini extension and non is called ra2.ini ....the pics show all the files for the game that i have
@suuus93 It looks like they're only created on first run. You can create them yourself. This is more or less the standard generated file, for both ra2.ini and ra2md.ini:
[Intro] Play=no [Options] GameSpeed=3 Difficulty=1 ScrollMethod=0 ScrollRate=3 AutoScroll=yes DetailLevel=2 SidebarCameoText=yes UnitActionLines=yes ShowHidden=no ToolTips=yes [Video] ScreenWidth=800 ScreenHeight=600 StretchMovies=no [Audio] SoundVolume=0.700000 VoiceVolume=0.700000 ScoreVolume=0.400000 IsScoreRepeat=no IsScoreShuffle=no SoundLatency=9 InGameMusic=yes [Network] Socket=65535 NetCard=0 NetID=ffcf,ffdf,ffcf,
So yeah... make a new text file for each config file, make sure to rename the extension from .txt to .ini, paste that stuff into it, and then adjust the video stuff.
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue. It have be partly solved by creating the both files with the content you gave and remplacing the resolution with those from my dysplay. Now RA2 works but with the same settings the expansion still encounters the error 'Unable to set the video mode'...
Anyway thank you for your support.
thank you this works now and it opens but now the game freezes after 5 minutes every time i run it and then i have to start my laptop... so ill read the questions and comments again maybe ill find a solution
