[meager galleon]

Need help with the game

[peak nacelle]

[meager galleon]

sec something went wrong

sec its gonna be long type

I installed CNC, so i can launch YR from steam finally, i can hear the sound but the game wont appear , it forever stays on background task bar

so I tried playing from CNC launcher > game launch fullscreen, can change setting and resolution

so i wanna play singleplayer game, went to skirmish , select YR campaign, it tab me out and launch YR, i can hear two diff audio, but again YR wont appear full screen, stuck in limbo back tab

when i click the game, the top left one, it appears momentarily before vanish at the back again

[meager galleon]

can you help me out?

[peak nacelle]

the most common way to fix base RA2YR is w the CnCNet patch

you'll need to install CnCNet, change some settings, then you can launch the base game

see the first link

[meager galleon]

I did, but I press ALT ENTER to full screen the game but now its stuck

perpetually on background, i can hear it but i cant have it full screen

[peak nacelle]

did you follow the video specifically?

[meager galleon]

yes, like i said, i finally got it launched, but the game stuck on background because i alt enter it to full screen

wait lemme check 2nd video

since 1st video is ea launcher

[peak nacelle]

it works the same

2nd video's method is using the beta client, which only works for YR atm

[peak nacelle]

could you change your settings in the CnCNet client, trying different renderers?

[meager galleon]

im trying to launch ra2 first, still stuck on the intro since first time launch

[peak nacelle]

yup. so just try to change the renderer in the cncnet client, which will affect the vanilla game as well

[meager galleon]

ok trying cnc draw stretch first

[meager galleon]

alright so far so good, changing the rendered fixed it

👍
And try P v P - its the main Fun of this game 😉

[meager galleon]

sorry for being the bearer of bad news, i literally have 1000 hours just by playing vs ai in company of heroes, and zero hours and old RA alone, im just that guy, who have fun vs ai, if its MP then vs AI

[uneven valley]

Did you try some P v P (3v3, 2v2, 1v1) games yet?
Trust me its so much better as vs AI 🤠

[meager galleon]

oh new issue, i finish downloaded RA remastered collection

so i assume it needs CNC too

[uneven valley]

If its the remaster it runs alone and is not supportet by cncnet

Old ra1 is with cncnet

[meager galleon]

oh

[uneven valley]

The remaster is not included in the Ultimate Box

Is separate

[meager galleon]

it takes awhile to launch , abit worried

oh it wasnt taking forever, it straight up crash, wont launch

click the game > prompt mini menu asking cnc or red alert 1 > click red alert 1 > nothing

[sacred field]

if you're after RA1: https://cncnet.org/red-alert

there's a full game installer

[meager galleon]

i bought remastered collection, its on sale, but game wont launch

[sacred field]

remastered is different install to RA1 which is what this screnshot showed and i was replying to that.

[meager galleon]

have no idea how to fix this, google doesnt help and latest video is 4 years ago using verify integrity files

[sacred field]

it's just not launching?

[meager galleon]

clicking red alert

straight crash, stop button become play

[sacred field]

if you browse your game files there is a log folder, check if you have a crashlog and see what that says

[meager galleon]

sec

here it is

I cant upload crashlog .txt cuz its empty

[meager galleon]

apparently cnc remastered also the same

im not the only one but since people who played it fine before have no issue its became an argument

[peak nacelle]

hm we're not too familiar w the remastered version since it's a standalone game
