Description of COMMAND & CONQUER: RED ALERT 2

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (RA2) is a strategy game (RTS) released in 2000 by Electronic Arts. The game was released for PC (Windows).

The game takes place between the Allied forces and the Russians in the United States after the Second World War. It is a fictitious world in which Russians, under the command of Romanov and Yuri, have taken over part of the US with the help of a brainwashing device (Psychic Beam) of Amirican citizens.

All time classic right here. Smash the decadent west with glorious communism!

I got it working in Windows 10, there is a very useful post on the EA support form. That will probably save a few people some time.

Copy paste from that forum, so all thanks should go to that guy for the solution:

The graphics system patch DDWrapper (http://www.bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html) is known to solve graphics issues for many people. It may help with that one, too.
Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and launch the game.

Apparently, to fix the menus problem, these options in the dwrapper config file (aqrit.cfg) should help:

FakeVsync = 1
NoVideoMemory = 1
ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1

------------

After that make sure to set game.exe to run as Windows XP and probably also to run as admin (not sure if necessary). After that game.exe (and only this .exe) worked.

For the ones facing Menu Disappearing issue, set compatibility mode to Windows 98 or Windows XP of the file game.exe. Use game.exe, NOT ra2.exe or Red Alert 2.exe

Hey guys, the fix for Windows 10 & 8:

http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/182360-cc-red-alert-2-windows-8-windows-10-fix/


You just download the file and follow the instruction on the website.

It worked for my Windows 10 :)

PS: Antivirus might detect and delete an important file, so turn it off if you want.

Douwe 2020-03-12
So on my end the menu zips by at light speed, so how do I slow the game down until I can play it properly? Thanks in advance for helping :)

bink 2020-03-04
If file has no extension - just add zip extension :)
