Doctor Destiny

If you mean me and Windows Phones, I just like the way the phone's OS handles and how it's designed.

I've had an S6 for a month now. I still prefer Windows Phones but this was a good decision.

Also, for the SecuROM and SafeDisc thing, none of it is actually gone. Just do this: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/09/23/windows-update-disables-safedisc-drm-7-8-vista/.

I have a Nexus 7 that I don't run with a screen cover. It's not often with me and I clean it frequently. It's not really a replacement for anything but it is handy to watch Netflix.

zocom never fully understands what he reads. He's like a conspiracy theorist but less harmful.

It's PCX, not SHP. In other words, save your file with an image editor as PCX.

Either remove the ZEP references in the task force section or disable the triggers that fire the team types that use the task forces with ZEP in them. You could probably change them to other units to make use of the task forces and triggers.

You need the Ares package then you execute it by using Syringe. There's tutorials on how to use it. It's really not that hard.

Ares doesn't actually make things any different. You just can't use the XCC Mod Launcher anymore.

Well ****. If N is coming back, I should return as well. Gotta get off my ass and get my mods going again.

So, what we're seeing here again is that zocom is misunderstanding the situation again?

Depends on what it is you're trying to do. If you use Ares, you need to use it and add the appropriate information into the rules file and the appropriate assets.

RockPatch/NPatch don't actually do anything with actually modding the game. They're just EXE extensions, but Ares is a DLL injector. If you want more features, you should go with Ares. We need more people using it...

I facepalmed at everything zocom just put up there. It's mindblowingly misinformed.

Download fresh ISOs and use your keys. That's what I did last time and it works fine for me... or get a copy of TUC since you don't need a disc for it.

modesmp(md).ini

strawpoll.me I guess.

That article is clickbait nonsense, like everything else surrounding Windows 10.

Modified version of Chrome. No thanks. I'll stick with Firefox.

It means the problem isn't specific to Red Alert 2 most likely. It is still possible, but since it's not within the scope of the game itself, I cannot accurately say what it is.

I still watch DVDs and BluRays on my desktop. I have a lot of stuff on DVD and it's more convenient to pop it in over streaming or torrenting 80 gigs of data in lower quality.

Upon inspecting the except, the crash is occurring outside of the memory scope of RA2.

I will check that out when I have my except checker. In the meantime, are your discs scratched up anywhere? A file may not have written fully, but normally you get a CRC error...

Games still run fine as far as I know. If it runs on Windows 8, it pretty much runs on 10.

That's probably a different issue. Sounds like a file is missing and the game is crashing. Do you have an except.txt from after the crash?
