Re: Yuri's revenge runs in slow motion. The only game in the collection that does that.

You can also try disabling the video back buffer option, add the following to your ra2.ini file in the [Video] section:

VideoBackBuffer=no

You can also try the unofficial RA2 1.007 patch and tick the box saying "Disable Hardware Acceleration" and see if that helps.
You can get the patch here:

If everything else fails you can download this DLL file from PPM and place it in your RA2 folder:

    After nearly three years, this helped me a lot. Just wanted to thank you.

    my settings are as follows (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Red Alert II\RA2MD.ini):

    [Video]
    ScreenWidth=1920
    ScreenHeight=1200
    StretchMovies=no
    VideoBackBuffer=no

    works wonders

    How/where do you turn off video buffering? I don't know what any of this means...

  • @bigtuna7O

    In your Red Alert 2 directory, open RA2.ini in Notepad (RA2MD.ini for Yuri's Revenge), and find the line where it says [Video]. Under it, add the following:

    VideoBackBuffer=no

    Then save the file, close it, and run the game.

    DON'T DO THIS! It completely crashed the game and could not even load past the starting video.

    The problem persisted even after uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

    Spoiler
    Ur the kind guy that needs to run this company..not the boneheads that currently occupy the top level exec positions at EA

    I once had THE hghest opinion about EA Games, buying their stuff on name alone.
    Now it's like reverse, where to view my opinion you'd need to travel to China geostationary orbit, to see the peak
    as a result of my opinion going so far down that some Chinese guy is wondering what the peak in his living room comes from.
    (which would be a downwards chasm from my perspective.)
    When it says EA Games, I specifically don't buy.

    First they eff'ed everyone just wanting to play classic, by inserting that Origin, which made fore more timeloss trying to get stuff working again,
    and then they fail on correct implementation of such, and failing again and again.

    So yeah, they suck hiny, as once their games did not.
