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
- I got it working....Not sure what it was but I have turned off the EA overlay as per someone's idea, but then I located the executable file for Yuri. Made a new desktop shortcut, then added "Fullscreen=false" to the end of the target path. Ran that and lo and behond I get the main menu
