  • @mpg702  Can you try installing DirectX 9 and then running the game as admin in compatibility mode.

    I'm afraid Red Alert 2 is not affected by DirectX 9.0c.

    @mpg702

    What you will need is a new graphics renderer for the game, since the stock one is old, unsupported, and incompatible.

    Your alternatives are DDrawCompat and ts-ddraw, try either and see if it works. They're both open-source and recommended by the community.

    @plokite95 For Red Alert 2 and in fact all older games it is recommended that you install the drivers from that time. As such for Red Alert 2 DirectX 9 may be needed to ensure that the game runs as given Microsoft has a habit of removing components from later versions of software such as DirectX.
