I got the Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge for Origin, but when I play Red Alert 2, my base gets exploded in 1 minute and I lose the game. Yuri's Revenge seems okay but I didn't tested out that much. I reinstall and still doesn't work. Please help! Thank you.
Hello @PridexSP you must be kidding or noottt ?!!😃 ( come on🙂)
If your game exploded 🤭 i think not much left of it :eahigh_file: then you have to buy another 😃
Now let's talk seriously 😎 anyway to be helped you have to give more concrete details.🤔

DICE TeamHi @PridexSP,
The base exploding issue is often caused by owning an illegal version of the game.
You however mention that you have the Origin version. This game is currently available on our On the House promotion. If you have this version, make sure that you have no older or illegal version of the game installed on your computer. It also sometimes helps to run Origin / RA2 as admin. You can do this by right clicking the shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator". Also, make sure that you turn off Origin in-game.
Alternatively, I would advise you to check out the stickies on our C&C Board, they offer a lot of information.
Good luck!

No, I never have any other Red Alert 2 or Yuri's Revenge on this computer ever. Only Origin, that's it. And running as Admin doesn't work. I still need a solution.
Hi again @PridexSP😃
You need to uninstall your game , restart your PC then install again RA 2.
And now run the GAME with Admin rights http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2
All my best.🙂

There's no compatibility tab.
Okay, I try turning off the Origin in game and running as admin and still doesn't work.
DICE TeamHi @PridexSP,
I did some more research into this. The only solutions that I could find:
Good luck!
I try reinstalling by ignoring non-mandatory update and still doesn't work. Same thing happens. I got a new icon image for the game but same thing happens. You told me to change screen resolution. What screen resolution should I change it to? But I tried all 3 of them and they all don't work.
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 3.
As for the game resolution... if you manage to start the game, that is completely irrelevant. Nevermind changing it.
Overall, this is an "old DRM" problem, and quite an annoying one. I've heard of cases where it just worked after a couple of reinstalls. But either way, you'll need that compatibility mode.
Note that the game folder has a bunch of executables (RA2.exe, RA2MD.exe, yuri.exe, game.exe, gamemd.exe...). Your safest bet is to enable it on all of them.
After I reinstall it without the ignore non-mandatory game update, I was able to have the compatibility tab and check the run as administrator but it still doesn't work. The base still explodes in a minute. I also can't find any of those folders.
