Windows 10 - 64-bit

[nickholaz]

I can confirm that this game runs flawlessly under Windows 10 (x64).

UPDATE: There seems to be issues with this game running on systems with Intel graphics cards.

win 10, 64 -- one time i've had this problem, with too much information being autosaved. would crash at same year date on reloading. check your hard disks for write problems? haven't had it several games since with same conditions. could be a memory manager problem with the game's coding.

It seems to be the black and white cursor. At least I had no crashed since I switched to color.

I had this problem also. I got it working by running this file located in the main game folder named: Rt2 (force 800 x 600 mode).bat. Once I double clicked on it the games runs fine.

I think you need a dedicated Graphics card...Intel is intigrated onto the motherboard.

Hey guys, I'm not tech savy, but I bought this game to relive a piece of my childhood. I have it working to the point where I can see the campaign screens (where the older guy talks), but when I start, it almost seems like the game crashes. I can still see that screen, but my computer makes a sound every time I click, and I have to open task manager to be able to do anything, and then it's having to shut down the game. Any advice?

P.S. I can play in editor mode, but still not in campaign mode

There are videos that play when you start any campaign scenario. Since you are crashing right at that moment, and you've successfully loaded scenarios outside the campaign, the videos or something related to them is the issue. The sure way to get rid of the issue is to rename the video folder, which will simply prevent the game from finding them and force it to skip to the game.

Right click the game in your steam library>properties>Local files tab>browse local files. Then rename the anim folder to anim.troubleshoot (or anything different). The videos contain historic/background clips, nothing important to game mechanics. It's a lame, brute force kind of solution, but the one I'm most sure will let you enjoy the game. I've tried this and the game works fine without the videos, but you will notice some delay where they would have played.

After you try that, I would try to see if you can get the videos to work by running the game in windowed mode, or by playing with your windows resolution or other settings. The in game option menu doesn't show up until you're already in a scenario, but you can load a scenario outside the campain to try windowed mode first. The only downside there is losing edge scrolling and immersion. 1024x768 and 16 bit color is RRT's default if you want to try the route of changing resolution/color depth. Lastly, you can go into the settings for your video card and disable hardware acceleration, or play with other settings to see if you can get it to work.

Good luck. I'm sure at least one of these solutions will get you the ability to play. :)

Do understand that modern PC's DO NOT have the DirectX version used by older games. They emulate it in the code they've written for modern OS and hardware. IOW the program wants an old function and the GPU driver figures out which new stuff might work for that. What that means to us is for some folks there are combinations of modern hardware, modern drivers, and old code that just won't work for some but are not a problem for most everyone else. It's just bad luck.

Started to play RT2 on win10 + intel baytrail based docked tablet.
Works ok, except that audio does not work.

Anyone had similar issue with not getting any audio out?

[Jeruzalem]

Ur trying to make a win 98 game work on a tablet. That it runs should already be a blessing. Just play youtube in the background for the music hehe.

Here's a strange solution i tested several times and it works every time. I launch PUBG or Stellaris and ALT/TAB out of the game. Then i start RRT2 and play it as usual. But if you close the "main" game, RRT2 crashes instantly. Good luck. //Sanji-San

FWIW -- I got the unable to play video mode error, and used this article: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/set-compatibility-mode-windows-10 -- go to the 'How to Run an App in Compatibility Mode' section, once I set that for the app file in the game folder, it ran. It wouldn't let me do windowded mode. But I think that may be due to my double monitors.
