Red Alert 2 Movie fix patch

[Tharon]

The Steam release of the game is bugged and two movie files seems to be damaged, or tampered. This cause the game to crash when displaying some cutscenes, like the intro for the Soviet's mission 10.

I made a simple patch to fix the movies files based on the working Origin version.

You can download from there :

Extract the archive in the Red Alert 2 folder and launch RA2moviePatch.bat

Which is the second damaged movie file?

[Tharon]

movies02.mix

Ah, my bad. I meant which other cutscene crashes besides the one from Soviet mission 10.

[Tharon]

Don't know :)

I did a binary comparison between the files from the Steam version and the ones from the Origin version. While the files have the same sizes, in the Steam version there are two "holes"with zeroed data in movies01.mix (Allied) e movies02.mix (Soviet). So at least one cutscene for the Allied is corrupted.

Hey thanks for this patch.

[ThePlayer]

thanks for the patch, the movie can now be played without error

[BadBox]

do you mean paste the file in the game folder and run as "RA2moviePatch.bat"?

Great work, thank you. After completing the fox and the hound yuri starts rambling about the start of the soviet union and then the game crashes without this fix

Mega links are automatically filtered in Steam, so i've break it onto four lines.
