CraftManiac 1 Posted March 16, 2012 So I've got a new PC a while ago and I've installed RA:YR on it and it runs way to slow, unplayable slow. Is there any way I could solve the problem or just to deal with it? I don't know what stuff is in my PC... I'll have to pester my brother for that. And is there any way of playing it on a 16:10 monitor? I've tried the thingie with modifying the ra2MD.ini but it didn't work and I've also tried that program from RAden. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted March 16, 2012 Patch YR to 1.001, set it to compatibility mode for Win98, run as administrator if you're using WinVista/7. As far as ra2md.ini is concerned, the menus are never in a resolution other than 800x600 (unlike vanilla RA2). The game itself, however, is affected by that file Share this post Link to post
CraftManiac 1 Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I forgot to mention that I can't find the ra2md.ini file at all. EDIT: Whoopsie... seems like it popped out now when I installed the patch. Problem solved. :3 Edited March 16, 2012 by CraftYuriManiac Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted March 17, 2012 [Video] VideoBackBuffer=no Always add that. Share this post Link to post
Plok 319 Posted March 17, 2012 I installed it ages ago, might have done it myself back then. No idea what it does, either. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted March 18, 2012 It disables the back buffer, herp derp. Anyway, it's for performance related issues. It helps the game use software instead of hardware, but I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that it helps with sluggish performance because Westwood sucks at using hardware instead of software for everything... Share this post Link to post
CraftManiac 1 Posted March 21, 2012 It helped. Now I must get used to non-laggy Red Alert 2... Share this post Link to post
