Re: Red Alert 1 on Origin resolution settings

@siralexgio7

What is the exact error message? If it says something about a log named ra95crash.dmp then please upload the file somewhere, otherwise it will be impossible to help you

it says: "A crash dump file with the name 'ra95crash.dmp' has been saved. Give it to Iran for debugging, thanks"

@siralexgio7

Can you upload that file to a file hoster and share the link here? You could use zippyshare for example

I will try but i am not sure I can...-

I've not seen this one before, but I found another user having the same crash reported here:

https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/1108-problem-playing-the-campaign/?do=findComment&comment=7853

Did you have it on the same mission? he says "This one occurs on the Soviet Spy mission right as the intel center is blowing up and he flees the compound."

I guess it might be a bug in the map, the crash happens while drawing one of the cells (inside SmudgeClass)

If possible, you could maybe upload the savegame and share it with us? It would help a lot to get this sorted out. Either way, it's not a problem on your end and this may require a new patch to be made and/or a updated map file.

You will probably have to play this mission all over again now, no way around it.. ☹️

No, it is not the soviet campaign and it happens in all gdi misions.

here a save game

Interesting, it works perfectly for me. No crashes.

What game resolution do you use? What language is the game set to? Did you modify any files or installed any mods that were shipped with custom graphics?

Resolution: 1920x1080, language: English. While I am waiting for your response I make some changes you have suggested to others with problems to see if anything change. But, all of these after a lot attempts with the main options. In video options I have unchecked force single cpu utility. Now it doesn't crash as before, but when I load a game it shows black screen and I here the misiion music behind.-

@siralexgio7

That's really strange, the only thing I can still suggest you are:

Play around with the following setting:

CnC-DDraw + GDI

CnC-DDraw + OpenGL

CnC-DDraw + Run In Window

CnC-DDraw + Max FPS (try between 30-60)

I will try it and we see. Thank you...-

Finally, I disabled both ddraw and ddwrapper (I saw it in here) and maybe something else (a lot of tests) and now it works good. Only the video plays in a small window. Sometimes, not often, it crashes when I load a game. I remember, 2 years ago I played ra1 again, I had a patch (I steel have it) and when I patched the game, I ran it and in the main menu, I typed a command and appeared all the resolutions. I chosed the one I wanted and pkayed the game...Sorry for my English. And thank you very much for your help.-

P.S.: I think the patch is this one:

Oh nice, good to hear that!

The video is small because stretching to fullscreen only works with CnC-DDraw enabled.

The command in the main menu to enable all resolutions is for Red Alert 2! Red Alert 1 doesn't support any other resolution than 640x400 by default
