Summarize your bug Yuri's Revenge crashes whenever the mission is about to load. RA2 works just fine. See below for more information on exactly what's happening.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I listed the steps I took in my summarization above.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes and I can't play.
What do you expect to see? The mission loading and game working properly.
I have downloaded the C&C RA2 & Yur's Revenge edition. I have played through RA2 just fine, including all Allied and Soviet missions. I can launch Yuri's Revenge just fine. It goes through the introductory video without issue. I select 'New Campaign' and everything seems to work well, I can watch the first video of the first mission. The mission load screen loads normally, until the end. As soon as the mission is about to load, the app crashes and I get an error that states, "Yuri's Revenge has encountered an internal error and is unable to continue normally. Please visit our website at http://www.westwood.com for the latest updates and technical support."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple times thinking that would fix it, but nothing does. I don't understand how RA2 can work perfectly, but Yuri's Revenge is having these issues, since they are the same download. I am using Windows 11 Home Edition on my PC.
I have also visited the website listed on the error, but there doesn't seem to be anything there about fixing the downloaded game. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
A lot of the games have been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. You can find them here:
Command & Conquer 1:
- Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game)
Note that this patch fixes two quite common and completely fatal game crashes (top-of-map reconnaissance crash, stealth crash), so installing it is strongly advised. - HD music pack, with stereo music for the game.
Red Alert 1:
- Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer (The thread also has briefing videos for the expansion missions, converted from the Playstation version of the game)
- Nyerguds' main.mix cleanup for TFD/TUC (Not really needed, but cleans up about a gigabyte of unnecessary files in the RA1 folder. Unpack in the game folder, run "patch_main.bat", let it finish, and then delete the files you extracted.)
- HD music pack, with stereo music for the game.
Tiberian Sun:
Red Alert 2:
- I advise installing the CnCNet online play installer for RA2/YR. Even if you're not interested in online play, it comes with a bunch of automatic fixes. It should automatically take care of the "black screen on startup" issue, and has a configuration tool that allows further tweaking of the game's settings.
Generals:
- GenTool seems to be the main patch for Generals these days. The website is kind of vague on what it does besides restoring multiplayer and adding anti-cheat, but I heard it does a lot to make it work better on modern OSes too.
- If you have issues with DirectX errors popping up, find and delete the file "dbghelp.dll" in the game's install folder.
Renegade:
- The Tiberian Technologies patch fixes loads of issues on Renegade.
- Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game)
