Some people have reported this tutorial fixing issues with the menus not appearing.
There are a few other things you can do to help RA2 to run better: It comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick. If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet installer for RA2/YR. Enable the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' checkbox, and then select 'XP Service Pack 3' in the dropdown menu under it.
In the properties window that pops up, go to the 'Compatibility' tab. Then, open the configuration file 'aqrit.cfg' in Notepad, change the 'ForceDirectDrawEmulation' option to 1, save the file, and the game should work. For both of these, go through the following steps: Right-click the file, and click Properties. The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the 'black screen' issue for many people.ĭownload the zip file and extract 'ddraw.dll' and 'aqrit.cfg' into your game folder. Navigate to the origin game page to get to RA2.To make the game window-accessible, choose game properties and enable the Origin UI before clicking the -win.
