Yuri's revenge runs in slow motion. The only game in the collection that does that.

Yuri's revenge runs in very slow motion.  It's the only game in the ultimate collection that does that.  Do you know what causes that? I run windows 8 on a AMD quad core 635 processor with ATI radion...

    You can also try disabling the video back buffer option, add the following to your ra2.ini file in the [Video] section:

    VideoBackBuffer=no

    You can also try the unofficial RA2 1.007 patch and tick the box saying "Disable Hardware Acceleration" and see if that helps.
    You can get the patch here:

    If everything else fails you can download this DLL file from PPM and place it in your RA2 folder:

Just so you all know, I now have Yuri's Revenge running in full 1080p with no lag on Windows 10 64 bit. I fixed that weird issue where the screen appears shifted to one side and the colours mess up.

It was all thanks to that ddwrapper patch by aqrit from http://www.bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html - remember that after you install the patch to your game folder, customize its config file so that ForceDirectDrawEmulation is set to 1. This way, you can make the changes are required to the [video] section of ra2md.ini to have the following lines under it:

ScreenWidth=1920

ScreenHeight=1080

and all will be fine 🙂

This works with the Origin version of RA2YR, but there's an even easier way that should work with all versions - just get the freeware online/LAN gameplay client from CnCNet, the launcher included with it actually launches the game with all the graphical problems fixed. It's at https://cncnet.org/yuris-revenge#download

    Thanks so much Omnizac and Scumworthy! I started from scratch and completely deleted Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge (Origin version) and tried your fixes and got it to work! :D
