Black screen issues, lag, and resolution errors

[Acidoxis]

Hello all commanders! I tell you that with Red Alert 2 Yuri the game has a lot of lag, the resolution, even though I changed it, doesn't let me run it well either, and finally when I close the game the screen goes completely black and doesn't show me the desktop, I press CTRL +Alt+Del and it won't let me finish the task, the computer is not checked but it won't let me close the program or see the desktop =/. I have Windows 11, I have tried putting it in compatibility with previous Windows and it hasn't worked either, any recommendations or solutions that you recommend?

I have the same black screen problem after closing Yuri's Revenge too with windows 11 even with all the resolution fixes . windows 10 didn't give me any problems . i do not want to install CnC Net because some say it can crash the campaign mode .

In my case I don't want to install Cnc because looking at the files there are "quite dubious" files, even scanned on the virustotal and hybrid analysis pages, it throws up malware (trojan), the idea would be to find how to make the corrections manually without unpackers.

lmao, you won't believe that the game publisher will give you safe files? That's a bit too paranoid.

Truth is, modern virus scanners are paranoid to the point of sabotage; they literally mark any file they don't know as a potential threat, with vague descriptions that don't make any sense.

There's no way a big company like EA would allow there to be a release on Steam that has viruses in it. It would immediately get retracted.

???? We are not talking about EA GAMES, but we are talking about the "CNC" program which is a "PRIVATE", "FREE" program and belongs to a "third party" that has a very peculiar behavior.
CNC as you may know allows you to play on the internet with other users and when you apply the patch it modifies and fixes a lot of corrections in the game but also accesses, adds and downloads and at the same time modifies several points of the registry (which has nothing to do with the game if you have time check it out), also when connecting to a "private" server of a third party and having given them the corresponding access for the "purpose of playing" nothing prevents them from stealing data, adding your PC to a bot-net, etc.

should actually specify CNCnet and not "CNC"

I can't say for sure if the openGL wrapper below will fix Win11 issues:

The "cnc" in cncnet literally just stands for "Command & Conquer"

CnCNet is perfectly safe. It's created by a community of modders and fan-patchers that have kept these games alive and playable for the past fifteen years.

https://cncnet.org/what-is-cncnet

cnc-ddraw was also developed by that same community.

Also note, the CnCNet "server" is merely an irc channel acting as matchmaker service. And the actual games are purely peer-to-peer. No one's adding anyone to any bot net...

Bro, just use C&Cnet, it's not a virus, it's safe, and i've used it for multiple C&C titles for more then a decade now.

Why make it hard on yourself?
