look everyone to run the game right click on the shortcut in desktop and then click on properties then click on compatibility , then check the box in compatibility mode run this program in compatibility for windows 98/me game will never crash and it will run smooth
I HAVE HAVE DOWNLOADED THE FILE AND INSTALL. BUT WHEN I STARTED TO OPEN IT. IT SAY'S FATAL String Manager Failed to Initiate Properly! How to fix this? Pls help........
which files are the games main ini. files?: edit : I found the games main .ini files but I am unable to put videobackbuffer=off in any of them, it keeps telling me "access denied"?
yes, that's what I originally opened it in. just every time I go to paste in "videobackbuffer=off" in (example, Ra2md , wolinfoMD) I have to save it and everytime I try to it just gives me access denied?
Yuri's revenge hangs/freezes and crashed even after changing the compatibility to windows 98/me and adding the videobuffer=off in the ini file please help. :(
It appears that RA2 will not run on windows 10, with that in mind does anyone know how to uninstall it after its been installed? Its installed, all the files are there but the game doesn't show up in programs and features.
I am playing it in Win 10. If the black screen is ur problem the u can copy this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B21lAGuRCkBqdHVLNWVwdkNXWDg/view to ur installation directory.It will fix ur problem and dont forget to run in compatibility mode then run as administrator.
Works fine on my Asus netbook with Intel Atom N280 processor and no dedicated graphics card, running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Makes me wonder why some complain the game doesn't work properly. My only complaint is the removed the cheesy FMV cutscenes (but it's no big deal).
Because of our pcs. We experienced that because of our windows. I have RA2 before in my Windows XP and moved to 7 and works fine. But as soon as I moved it in 8, it didnt work properly.
yes , work fine too here i use google drive to DL just 1 problem is that "RED ALERT 2 FATAL**** String Manager failed to initialize properly " not big deal , go youtube and see how to fix it link :.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tOC5I4y64g Hope u guys enjoy RA2nYuriRevenge ^^!
Hi, i'm using Windows 8.1 (2013) and what i do to run Yuri's Revenge (2001) smoothly after installation is: a) Right-click YR shortcut icon in desktop - click properties - check compatibility tab - Run this program in compatibility mode for : Window 95 (some sites say window 98/Me or Windows Service Pack 3), and check to run this program as Administrator. This will solve the initial RA2 Fatal String Manager failed to initialise properly issue on launching the game on more modern hardware. b) Lag/ slow game-play: Go to the folder of RA2+YR that it's installed in. Find 2 ini files named "RA2.ini" and "Ra2md.ini" - use notepad to open them - scroll to find [Video] and add one extra line of "VideoBackBuffer=no" to the end of the sentence. It will appear as ScreenWidth=1366 <---- (c) ScreenHeight=768 StretchMovies=no VideoBackBuffer=no <--- add this line and the lag will be gone. c) Screen width and height can be adjusted accordingly. Remember to do this for both RA2.ini and Ra2md.ini for it to work properly. There are other "options" to add, but as a bare minimum, these changes will suffice to run YR smoothly in 2017. d) FMV Cutscenes.... .. This version of YR excludes the original FMV cutscenes in the campaign modes. There will be silent awkwardness whilst playing them until the operator says: "Battle control online". I tried switching tabs from youtube and this game for the original initial experience but the game.exe can freeze and become unresponsive whilst doing that (or this is just my hardware). Hope it helps. Cheers.
I have a problem, the game runs, but when it opens all i see is the menu, without any letters or words, just the radar from the game menu, and some red lines. Somehow i can click on things, but i dont see them.
to play functional video the screen resolution for the original game is 800x600...so create ra2.ini ( text file and paste this below) [Video] AllowHiResModes=yes AllowVRAMSidebar=yes VideoBackBuffer=no ScreenWidth=800 ScreenHeight=600 StretchMovies=no and also dont forget to change aqrit.cfg file (open with text ) and change it into RealDDrawPath = AUTO BltMirror = 1 BltNoTearing = 1 ColorFix = 1 DisableHighDpiScaling = 1 FakeVsync = 1 FakeVsyncInterval = 0 ForceBltNoTearing = 1 ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1 NoVideoMemory = 1 SingleProcAffinity = 1 ShowFPS = 1 if there is no file...just create it with text file. now u can play it in any windows u like, no need the windows compatibility . u can even play the video.
no...i forgot who directed me to it but i used Revo Uninstaller's https://www.revouninstaller.com/ "hunter mode" function which let's you drag & drop the small icon onto a desktop shortcut for the game in question then it scans and removes all the relevant files. might want to uninstall the expansions first just in case though. i dunno if removing the base game first would mess anything up. and it cleans up left over registry file stuff too as part of the uninstallment process.
is anyone playing online with hamachi ? i only play with my friend but i want to find more players to play together ,is there some group page to find those players?
https://gamebanana.com/tools/5781 this is for FATAL String manager failed to initilaized properly fix Ra2 will work fine Ra2MD on the other hand just set it to 16 bit color
This worked perfectly on Windows 7 64-Bit, mount ISO file using Daemon Tools Lite (it's freeware) then install game. To fix Fatal String error, just right click Red Alert 2 desktop icon then Properties, under Compatibility tab checkmark Run with Admin Privileges. Done. Both games start up perfectly. Tip: To play in higher resolutions, At title screen of both games, just type the letters h-i-r-e-s and you should hear a chime, go to Options and now you can play the games in higher resolution. Note: On Yuri's Revenge, the resolution setting doesn't take effect till the Map begins. Both games are Full Copies including all the FMV Campaign scenes at the beginning of each map. This is the complete shit people.
Ripped version, the game is old, back in the day it made sense to rip the cutscenes and other content not necessary for gameplay in order to make the game lighter due to slow connections or simply low disk space, but nowadays it makes no sense, and games simply get repacked if anything to make the game a lighter download (since every fucking game now has to be 60gb or more apparently) while keeping all the content...
can anyone help me it wont allow me to play it but im able to launch it i cant play skirmish it also wont let me move the troops and build the screen is just black
