Did you try reinstalling the client? The update might've replaced some files that CnCNet changed.

OK, after messing with it more: the CNCnet client works properly _IF_ you run it as Admin! It didn't used to need that. However, I should have thought to check that before.

EDIT: this is the Yuri's Revenge client I'm talking about.

It's working fine for me, what is your screen size btw?
I think it is 21.5 inches, I've played this long before on same display and all fine as well. But those comments do worry me.

Use CNC-DDraw instead of DDrawCompact. DdrawCompat cause a lot of issues (still wondering why is included).

Doesn't work either... I updated the ddraw file and deleted the ddrawcompact files. The game still runs very weird if I start from the Steam menu BUT the game runs perfectly smooth if I start game.exe. In order to play the game like that, the ddrawcompact files must be deleted from the system and the ddraw.dll must be replaced from the github update files. Weird huh?

I have the following set as my Launch Options for this game in Steam:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Red Alert II\CnCNetYRLauncher.exe" %command%

Doing this makes Steam treat the CnCnet client as the game. So when I launch RA2/YR from Steam it launches CnCnet client.

Previously I had to launch Steam with admin elevation for Steam to recognise I'm in game with the CnCnet client, give me the Steam overlay and count my play hours correctly. But now, it does all that correctly without having to elevate Steam. Instead I just launch Steam normally, hit play on this game and it asks for elevation before launching the CnCnet client... and continues to recognise I'm in game + overlay + play time count.

Not sure if it's because of the recent game update, or because CnCnet client has perhaps been updated or even if Steam itself has updated... but it's certainly a welcome change.

Feels like the update was to stop the game launching because since he update the game just refuses to launch :steamsad:

Seems like it's a compatibility issue. My issue is on a linux based PC and you on the Steam Deck

Sorry for my ignorance, can the game be played online?

You're having a black screen issue? Are you perhaps running Windows 11?

Hey guys, just curious is it a good time to buy now? They have a juicy discount right now but I saw lot of negative reviews about the performance problem
They seem to still be patching stuff, so I dunno, might be a good time to get it even if it's not perfect at the moment.
