I remembered eventually that these games worked very well for Windows 7, the last O.S.
Also select the box near the bottom: (Run this program as an administrator).
By mistake I found out what works when I kept running the program until it worked with the compatibility program that Windows 10 offers by right-clicking on those 2 programs and trying the wizard, but you don't really have to do that! All you have to do after right-clicking properties on the RAMD.exe and RA2.exe applications in the RA2 folder and selecting the Compatibility tab, 2nd to the general tab, is click the box that says: (Compatibility mode / Run this program in compatibility mode for: ) and select on the drop down menu there: (Windows 7).
Along using the CC Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge Graphics Patch FIX! Windows 8/10, I also used the compatibility program of Windows 10 built in the RA2MD.exe and the RA2.exe within the RA2 directory. I think I got it figured out what the problem is for the Red alert II/Yuri's Revenge. No more freeze ups!ĩ This can be done with both Yuri's Revenge EXE (gamemd) and you can also follow the exact same steps with EXE (game) to patch RED ALERT 2 as well. Things should now run really fast and smooth. Its so quick and easy it is self explainable.Ħ Once you have done that, you will now right click on the same EXE file and copy it once more.ħ Re-paste that file back where you got it from in step 3Ĩ Your all done. You will then want to paste that file in the folder with the patch you created earlier on your desktop in step 2.ĥ Now you will want to run the patch file and activate the patch. It will be under C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Red Alert II The file is called gamemd The file is 4,704 KBĤ Right click on it and copy.
I have provided a patch download link below.ġ download the patch from the link above and extract (unzip) the file.Ģ Make a new empty folder on your desktop and place the extracted file in thereģ Locate yuri's game EXE file/ AKA application. There is a patch however that will fix the issue using either game's EXE/application start up file. For some reason, these newer OS types like windows 8-10 don't like that sort thing and can conflict and cause many rendering problems/crashes.įor me, I had freeze problems with Yuri's Revenge more than I did with RA2.
That is most noticeable when there is a lot going on with large numbers of personnel and machines, load screens and movie excerpts. The problem is the game bounces back and forth from virtual to physical RAM for graphics pulls. Then you have most likely been getting freeze-ups and or slow play at very least.
