Hi! I bought the "COMMAND & CONQUER ULTIMATE COLLECTION" package and when I tried to open the game "COMMAND & CONQUER RED ALERT 2" my screen went dark and all I could see was the course of my mouse and I could only listen to the music and the sound effects of the game but I can not see anything but the arrow of my mouse i have a laptop Lenovo G50 core i5 with windows 10 (sorry for my bad english).

    Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. For Red Alert 2 there's a more general patch that solves a lot of its graphics problems. You can find them here:

    Command & Conquer 1:

    Red Alert 1:

    Tiberian Sun:

    Red Alert 2:

    • The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the "black screen" issue.
      Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and the game should work.
