open the Origin menu and select 'Application Settings'. If any of these ask your game folder, and you don't know how to find it.

The Tiberian Technologies patch fixes loads of issues on Renegade.

The website is kind of vague on what it does besides restoring multiplayer and adding anti-cheat, but I heard it does a lot to make it work better on modern OSes too.

GenTool seems to be the main patch for Generals these days.

It should automatically take care of the 'black screen' issue, and has a configuration tool that allows further tweaking of the game's settings. Even if you're not interested in online play, it comes with a bunch of automatic fixes.

I advise installing the CnCNet online play installer for RA2/YR.

Unpack in the game folder, run 'patch_main.bat', let it finish, and then delete the files you extracted.) Nyerguds' main.mix cleanup for TFD/TUC (Not really needed, but cleans up about a gigabyte of unnecessary files in the RA1 folder.Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer (The thread also has briefing videos for the expansion missions, converted from the Playstation version of the game).HD music pack, with stereo music for the game.Note that this patch fixes two quite common and completely fatal game crashes ( top-of-map reconnaissance crash, stealth crash), so installing it is strongly advised. Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game).lot of the games have been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems.If you're wanting to play online - you can download our installer which applies a bunch of Win8/10 fixes, which you then will be able to launch skirmish games and online games with other players.

Hello and welcome to the forums - are you specifically trying to play online RA2 & YR, or are you trying to play the missions? Any idea on how to fix this problem? I really want to play Yuri's Revenge, as I never had the chance to back in the day.

I should mention that this same Win 8.1 PC was able to run RA2 (original 2000 CD version) just fine without that issue (even though now I can't seem to install that version anymore no matter what I try).ĮA support was well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful. In short, after tweaking the ini file to disable video backbuffer, both games run fine, but they freeze on the loading screen when trying to restore a saved game, to the point that I have to CTRL+Alt+Del. I bought the C&C ultimate collection on Origin, and I have trouble getting RA2 and YR to work correctly.
