Red Alert 2 Base explodes in a minute
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 ...

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:
- Reinstall the game
- Change screen resolution
- Don't install the latest patch ( you can enable ignoring non-mandatory game updates from the Application Settings menu )
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.
