sschlee 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I've played RA2, so I don't remember if this was an issue before. I just installed RA2 on an XP machine w/ more than enough to meet the requirements. When I do a skirmish, I get about 1 minute of gameplay, then my entire camp blows up and I am "defeated". Anyone know of this issue or a fix? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
Dabbo 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Hello Scschlee, I had the same problem a few days ago after re-installing my Red Alert 2 game in Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2). After a bit of digging around, I found out the solution to the issue. You will need to change the short-cut properties for Red Alert 2, to run in compatabilty mode for "Windows 98/ME". This will stop your Skirmish games from ending abruptly after a minute of play. If you are still having problems, I would also recommend downloading the latest patches for the game (Currently v1.006). I download my patches from : http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamefiles?cid=1990437526&tab=files&page=0&eid=-1 I install them in order of: v1.001 v1.002 v1.003 v1.004 v1.006 I don't know what happened to v1.005 Anyway, I hope this helps you out. Darren. Share this post Link to post
