Hi, everyone,
I downloaded the command & conquer collection from Origine. Red Allert 2's and Yuri Ravenge's interest goes up (hear the sound) but the screen is black (no picture). Anyone with a solution? recommendation?

@itzko-ManThe graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the "black screen" issue for many people.
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.
If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet installer for RA2/YR. It comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick.
There are a few other things you can do to help RA2 to run better:
Tweaking certain compatibility modes can help a lot
Make sure to disable Origin In Game overlay in the Origin settings for the game
Install Bibber's fixed game launchers
Some people have reported this tutorial fixing issues with the menus not appearing.
The fix with ddraw and changing "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" to 1 worked for me, Windows 10! Thank you.
