    If it's the same as on Steam, then you need to do three things to enable higher resolutions:

    • In the game folder, edit "DDrawCompat.ini" and change the "SupportedResolutions" line by adding the option "native" to the end of the resolutions list (separated by a comma, as is done with the rest). This will make the compatibility layer accept all the listed resolutions, plus all resolutions natively supported by your system.
    • Edit "RA2MD.INI" ("RA2.INI" for the base game) and, under [Video], add "AllowHiResModes=yes". (The same works for Tiberian Sun, but there it's "SUN.INI".)
    • In the game, go to Options → Display, and set your desired resolution.

    This also happened to me. The new update that EA has done seems to have taken it all away whatever previous patches I had made. Now, I cannot file the notepad file that will allow me to edit to get higher resolution. Any ideas? If I do edit a file it says I don't have administrator privileges.


    Well, that just means the game is installed in a place where you require admin privileges to edit files, such as under the Program Files folder. The way to still edit that is to look up Notepad in your start menu, right click it, and select "run as administrator" (might be under the "More..." submenu). Then, in this administrator-mode Notepad, go to File -> Open, change the format from "Text Files" to "All Files", browse to your game folder, and open the file. Then you'll be able to edit it.
