Red Alert 2 Unable to set video mode error on windows 10

I bought the c&c ultimate collection and I got all the games to work except red alert 2. yuri's revenge works but not the base game. I been trying all day but all it says is "error: unable to set video mode" I have windows 10.

my operating sys is:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU 2.71GHz

Ram: 8gb

System type: 64-bit Operating Sys,x64- based processor

any help would be appreciative

  • I recently purchased the Ultimate Collection and having this problem on windows 10 too!


    I got it working by downloading cnc-draw here https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases/tag/1.4.0.0

    and go to the directory where RedAlert was installed and it turns out aside from game.exe and gamemd.exe, the force compatibility is set on RA2.exe, YURI.exe and RA2MD.exe

    you need to disable all compatibility. Enjoy!
