Re: Red Alert 2 Black Screen with audio

There are a few things you can do to help RA2 to run better:

• Make sure to disable Origin In Game overlay in the Origin settings for the game
• Tweaking certain compatibility modes can help a lot
• Install Bibber's fixed game launchers
• Some people have reported this tutorial fixing issues with the menus not appearing
• This is another excellent video tutorial. I strongly advice watching this one; it cover a very wide array of problems in the game's settings, the user rights, and even Windows system settings that may cause problems.

These last two probably contain some solution for your black screen issue. In fact, I think just the "VideoBackBuffer=no" thing at 2:50 in that last video might be enough to fix it
