Re: Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge Freezing Up

I've downloaded the game recently and had the same issue...

My solution was:

1. go find the .ini files for both RA2 and the Yuri's Revenge in your game file, i.e. the RA2.INI and the RA2MD.INI, open it,

2. add "VideoBackBuffer=no" below the "[Video]" section to both files,

3. save the file and restart the game.

ofc you would want to run the game in compatbililty mode. I use XPSP3 for my WIN10 system.

    Setting VideoBackBuffer=no worked for me as well - thanks! 

    As a bonus you can also set the resolution to full hd: ScreenWidth=1920 and ScreenHeight=1080
