Files Corrupt - Red Alert 2
I went to play Red Alert 2 yesterday and it said it was installing an update, so I needed to wait til that was complete. When I tried to launch RA2 again, I got the attached error message. I repaired...

@GeneralSinistro There are workarounds for the screen resolution; they were already posted both here and on the Steam forum. See

@Dunnsky89 The EA support team definitely looks at these, but on the subject of C&C, the community members involved with fan-patching (such as me) generally have a better grasp on how to fix things.
I have no idea about those EA App error messages, though. Have you tried simply wiping all files from the folder, and then doing a repair, so it gets all-clean files installed?
@Nyerguds I found a workaround. The RA2 button doesn't work when opening through the EA app, but if I go into the folder and open it from there it works perfectly fine. Wonder what the problem is. Lol.
@Dunnsky89 Okay, so it seems that the RA2 install, as it is at the moment, indeed has some corrupted files in it; some of the videos crash the game unless you skip them immediately.
So I'm guessing that the EA app has hashes of the uncorrupted files in its system, and uses those to check game integrity, but the actual files they have available simply are corrupted. I heard they should be fixed in a future patch.
