There should be an option called "Multiple Displays".
Lastly, right click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution". Use notepad to open it) and you should find something like this:įrom what I gather you can change the resolution here if you don't want it to be 800圆00, but it's what I prefer and I know, at least for me, that this resolution works. Once you've done that, open ra2.ini (also in your Red Alert 2 directory. exe in your Red Alert 2 directory (and Yuri's Revenge if applicable) to run in compatibility mode and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)", then tick the run as administrator box and apply. Next repeat what you've already done: change each and every. The more tech-savvy might be able to explain what that means and that reinstalling may not be necessary, but it might be easiest just to start afresh in case you accidentally edited something important. I will explain which solutions worked for me and hopefully they will help you too:įirstly, in regards to "FATAL String Manager failed to initialize properly", I would reinstall the game.

That should cut out all the other issues which on 6/7/8xxM GPUs arise from other settings, whilst allowing you to play in glorious 640x480 (Even on 4k laptop screens. Good news is by cutting out most steps, you get a quicker, easier, more stable fix!Ĥ) Change "ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 0" to "ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1"ĥ) Load Red Alert/Yuri's Revenge.
Whilst a fix has been posted and sidebar'd, it's convoluted and those with M-series NVidia GPU's (Though not sure about the 9xx series) might notice they get a different issue from other elements of the "fix" which still renders their game unplayable (Examples: Block "artifacts" which are actually undrawn squares on 6xxM, colour issues when forcing 16-bit on 8xxM GPU's alongside certain Intel graphics). Having downloaded RA2 yesterday, I noticed that it was black screening instantly.
