Game: C&C Ultimate Collection - Red Alert 1
OS: W7
I'm having a problem with the speed of the scroll in game. I read the first page and applied everything (patches, CPU grabber, etc) and still can't get the speed to slow down. I also have the speed in game set to the slowest. Does anyone know of an alternate fix for this?
I believe the 1.03 unofficial patch should fix it.
I downloaded the patch and applied it and I'm still having issues with the scroll speed. The installer also said the installation wasn't completed because I was missing a file. I'm dumping the patch into the RA folder (C: Program files x86\Origin games\Command and conquer Red Alert) so I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. Any help?
Make a new thread for it, I'll be digging.
I actually had to solve a problem with Red Alert recently, thought I'd post it here in case the info ends up being useful to someone else. On Win 7 64-bit I had an issue with corrupted colors/pixelation both in the cutscenes and in-game. I was able to fix the issue by Right-Clicking and going to 'Game Properties' and checking the 'Disable Origin In Game for this game' box. I verified, by re-enabling it which caused the graphics issue to return, that this was what fixed the problem.
I don't know how common this issue is, but it's an easy solution that worked for me without any downloads of patches or drivers. Hope this is useful to somebody.
