game tends to freeze/crash

[molten mist]

whenever i try to play ra2 whether it be campaign or skirmish on cncnet it tends to crash or freeze after 5-15 mins.

idk if this is a renderer problem but it happens whether or not im using cnc-ddraw or ts-ddraw/(GDI)

with cnc-ddraw the game doesnt even start for me on steam

have u tried the non gdi ts ddraw?

[molten mist]

yeah its still the same

idk why but its since the new update

cnc/ ts ddraw / (GDI) also isnt letting me close the game properly. it just freezes up and then i would have to ctrl alt delete and sign out to close it

[shadow stone]

could you try

1. uninstall cncnet via the "Uninstall CnCNet" app in the game folder
2. download the latest installer directly from https://github.com/CnCNet/cncnet-yr-client-package/releases/tag/yr-8.66
3. install and try again

[molten mist]

it just does that

completly freezes the screen but there is still sound

it does that on ts ddraw gdi

and the non gdi one doesnt even let me open my game

thats what also happens when im trying to close the game

[shadow stone]

this is a known bug, players have often use task manager to close it out. but it shouldn't happen all the time

have you tried with borderless windowed mode?

[molten mist]

let me try that really fast

also, there's a better way to play the campaign, not sure if this would work for you

its also just with cerain renderers

[shadow stone]

yeah. most common renderers are CnC DDraw and TS DDraw so lets stick with these first

[molten mist]

ok so if i use cnc ddraw borderless windowed its not showing anything and ts ddraw works

the let me just stick to ts ddraw borderless
