![]() ![]() You will need to experiment, but currently CNC-DDRAW has a wider range of overrides and fixes for compatibility breaking issues. Both wrappers will also allow you to choose which type of rendering engine to use, and depending on your hardware/drivers, you may find OpenGL to be incompatible, or that GDI rendering is too slow. It may work out of the box, but it probably won't. ![]() Alternatively, TS-DDRAW will create an editable ddraw.ini after the first time running it, where you can adjust settings yourself. If you need to use a DirectDraw wrapper to get video working, you will need to follow Method #2, it will not allow the wrapper+game to run in Compatibility mode.Īlso note that using a DirectDraw wrapper may require some configuring and testing to work perfectly, CNC-DDRAW in particular comes with a configuration executable, that will give you the option of applying various fixes for black screens or menu problems. Windows 8/10 systems sometimes refuse to work correctly regardless, and in some cases it can be solved by using a DirectDraw wrapper such as CNC-DDRAW or TS-DDRAW. All I can recommend is to follow the suggestions/methods below. ![]() Scorched Earth should be compatible with Origin, The Ultimate Collection, and The First Decade versions of Red Alert 2, but as I do not have copies, I cannot verify what needs to be done. For this reason Scorched Earth is not compatible with CNCNet, and will not be supported. Their RA2 is merely a stripped down and modified version of YR that mimics the real one by hiding or removing newer game elements. You may need to apply the same changes to game.exe and ra2.exe also.ĬNCNet also claims to offer a downloadable version of RA2, however this is incorrect, both CNCNet's RA2 and YR are in fact Yuri's Revenge codebase. One note about how they have packaged it, ra2.exe is substituted with "Red Alert 2.exe" and the settings described below will have to be applied to that one instead. XWIS offers a freely downloadable mutliplayer copy of RA2, which they have modified to remove the loader requirement and change some networking functionality, but will work perfectly as a fully patched game for the purposes of running the mod. To extract the files, you may need WinRAR. ![]() Scorched Earth also works perfectly with the downloadable XWIS version, but I can't be certain it will work with all other modified distributions. This mod requires no software or launchers to operate, just a retail copy of Red Alert 2 (updated to 1.006). ![]()
