Recently I got origins ultimate collection. I have successfully gotten all command and conquer games to work except for red alert 2. That is the only one giving me issues. I've been working on it for a week now with zero results. I've done everything I have read about and still get the black screen, no menus. I have windows 7 64 bit. Anyone that can help, I would appreciate it. That's my favorite game in the series and am becoming very discouraged. It's not an origin problem because I get the same thing when I install my cd version. Either I'm not getting a step right or my computer hates me. I had the same issue with C&C tiberian sun but was able to fix that by changing settings in the arqrit file. That worked, but has not had the same results for red alert 2.
Update, got it working. Deleted the game, reinstalled it, added the ddwrapper file, changed arqrit file pera meters and it works. Thanks! Don't give up. It can be done. If need be, I can post screen shots. Best thing to do is reinstall it and download the ddwrapper. Copy and place in the red alert folder. Open arqit with note pad, change everything to 1 instead of 0 except for FakeVsyncinterval. Leave that at 0. Save and launch game. Hope this helps.
I have gotten all the C&C games to work on origin, windows 7 so let me know if you have a question about the other ones as well.
