Sounds like a lot of users have had issues with RA2 on Windows 8.1 with some integrated Intel chipsets (4400). I'm one of those people. I've previously gotten it to work no problem on an 8.1 desktop machine with an nvidia card, and can get the game to run fine for a while (all the buttons are functional,, runs in high res, etc.). Download S0beit 0.3e Free. But when I'm in game, the.exe crashes. Also, I can't scroll to the right in game at all.

Seems to crash when I scroll down, or to the bottom right hand corner? It's almost like my Windows taskbar tries to pop up in front of the game and causes it. I've looked all over these forums and the net for this specific problem and can't find anything. If anyone's ever run into this, I'd appreciate the help. For the record, these are the steps I've used to get the game to run as far as it does (and what worked on my other PC) Snagged this from the Tiberian Sun section and updated for Yuris (haven't tried ra2 yet, but it seems to be working): 1. Copy the directory Red Alert 2 (Typically found in C: Program Files (x86)) to somewhere outside of Program Files 2. Download the graphics patch from and extract it into the directory that you just moved 3.

Rename Yuri's Revenge to gamemd.exe, then run the patch to patch the game (likewise for ra2, rename to game.exe) 4. Download zip file and extract the files to the directory that you've patched the game in 5. Edit aqrit.cfg in notepad and change these two settings to 1 as in below: NoVideoMemory = 1 forcedirectdrawemulation = 1 6. Create a shortcut to the game and move it to your desktop 7.

Go to properties and in 'Target' add at the end after ' add -win example Target: 'C: Users Roberto Desktop Red Alert 2 gamemd.exe' -win note the space between gamemd.exe' and -win 8. In the same Properties Tab: Compatibility: Win Xp Service pack 2 (Seems to be most stable) Reduced colour mode: 16bit Run as Administrator 9. (Optional) Edit.ini file to change the resolution 10. Play the game Notes: I've noticed that once you've open it, you can't alt-tab out, it just seems to break Windows. The screen will be very small until a game begins, around it will be black that will flicker back to your desktop when you move over it, do not click into that black or it'll break Windows To exit the game, exit through the menu, not through Ctrl-Alt-Del It seems to be working, but I haven't had the chance to play online, also after you patch the game I'm assuming you can name it back to Red Alert 2 or Yuri's Revenge. It's been a while since I've checked on any replies, but I did find a solution. My laptop screen is 1920x1080 native, so that's what I run Windows 8.1.

Since it seemed like RA2 would crash when scrolling toward the bottom (i.e. Near the Windows taskbar), I eventually tried a resolution just smaller than 1920x1080. I don't know what I'm at exactly but probably something like 1800x900. I'll edit when I'm back home and can check.

Anyway, it seems to work fine now, albeit not at full screen. Hopefully that helps anyone else that might be using that Intel chipset.

Patch 1.11 for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 was released in June 2009, despite the changelog being mistakenly set to May 2009. PC Users can now customize right click scroll speed by adding the following command line argument: -dragTolerance # (where # = distance in pixels, typically a number from 1 – 50).
