Using EA app. After the last update you guys had, its all broken. (last update i mean was many months ago, then i quitted cause of that). Loading screen and stuff are all good, but when i choose my game, its all only on the little section of the left side of my screen (taking about 1/4 of my screen space) and its all completely black and purple..no other colors.
As others have stated, when I launch the RA2 YR from the EA launcher, I get the initial launch menu. Once selecting either game, my screen is black, audio is playing in the background, but I cannot do anything or see anything.
Hi, I have this problem too.
All games work for me except RED ALERT 2.
I can hear the sound but there is a black screen.
I log in through the EA app on my computer.
can you help me?- @uriab23 @OneLargeFarva This is a known issue. The CnCNet client for RA2/YR contains the fixes for that stuff.

Even if you're not interested in online play, simply installing the client should fix it, even if you then launch the game normally without using the CnCNet client.Hi,
I have installed the CnCnet client but I am still unable to launch RA2 or YR. Any other ideas?
Thanks
This is so dumb. Why can i play Aoe2 so easily, yet C&C is such a problem??
I cant find anywhere to send a complaint too but this was the dialogue I had today regarding getting this game working. The chat was closed by EA after my last message. I have removed my email address from this thread in case its public
Warning to everyone thinking of or trying too use Command & Conquer
Hi all,
I got the the game running however i have not found a possibility to save the game if you want to take a break and to reload where you were. find in the files the exe file gamemd.exe . it is a start...
How did you get it to run?
I tried canceling the EA overlay
Tried to install the CnCNet5_YR_Installer
Tried as administrator, tried in compatibility mode to windows 8/7/xp/98
All i get is a message that the game has not been released.
