Multiplayer community is officially maintained by XWIS, with instructions on their website.[1]
Small but dedicated community.
  • For Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Serial number 'work around'?' Change how messages are displayed, and view.
  • How do you change command and conquer the first decade serial number? Already exists. Would you like to merge this question into it? You can edit the registry key and put in the new serial. What is the code for the command and conquer the first decade? These are used codes!

Issues fixed[edit]

Game does not start (Origin)[edit]

Disable Origin In Game[citation needed]
  1. Select the My Games tab in Origin.
  2. Right-click Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge and select 'Game Properties'.
  3. Check the 'Disable Origin in Game for this game' option.
  4. Click OK and launch the game.

'player already have the same serial' error[edit]

This issue may occur when using the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection version from Origin.
Add missing registry value[citation needed]
  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeWestwoodYuri's Revenge
  2. Make a new string called Serial
  3. Enter anything as the string text (each player must have a unique entry).

'***FATAL*** String Manager Failed to Initialize Properly' error[edit]

Setting up compatibility settings[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>
  2. Right click on the Ra2.exe file and select 'Properties'.
  3. Go to the 'Compatibility' tab and enable Compatibility Mode (set it to 'Windows 98/ME') and 'Run this program as an administrator'.
    • The options in the normal Compatibility view cannot be selected. Click 'Change settings for all users' to make the modifications.
  4. Apply the changes and launch the game.

Notes

This will fix the base game only. For Yuri's Revenge, repeat these steps for RA2MD.exe

Black screen with switchable graphics[edit]

Winzip serial key free download or code. This occurs when the game engine tries to render in VRAM.

Disable the Compatibility Mode of the game's RA.exe executable then copy the files from the .zip at https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases/latest to your Red Alert II installation folder, replacing those present. This also allows higher and wide-screen resolutions than the Agrit fix below.

Another fix is to download Aqrit's ddwrapper and extract the ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg files into the RA2 folder, where ra2.ini lies. Next, ensure that only these settings are set to '1' in aqrit.cfg:

Alternatively, simply download and extract the contents of this preconfigured fix into the RA2 folder. Also, consider using the performance fix as well.

Game is purple/green colored and displays only on the other half of the screen[edit]

This happens sometimes on newer versions of Windows (7, 8, 8.1 and 10). To fix this, download Aqrit's ddwrapper and extract the ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg files into the RA2 folder, where ra2.ini lies.

Some Windows elements flicker from behind the game[edit]

This happens if you have downloaded Aqrit's ddwrapper and extracted the ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg files into the RA2 folder and have set the ForceDirectDrawEmulation to '1'. To fix this set ForceDirectDrawEmulation to '0':

Lag/low FPS[edit]

Modify the RA2.ini file[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>
  2. Open RA2.ini.
  3. Under the [Video] section, add VideoBackBuffer=No to a new line.
  4. Save the file and launch the game.

Notes

This will fix the base game only. For Yuri's Revenge, repeat these steps for RA2MD.ini
Use Command and Conquer Graphics Patcher[6]

Game runs too fast[edit]

Before using this fix, make sure the in-game 'Game Speed' slider is adjusted properly
Use the -SPEEDCONTROLcommand line argument[7]
  • The launcher provided with the Ultimate Collection (Origin release) does not support custom launch options. Install the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection Fixed Launchers before using.
  • Apply the argument to a shortcut of the RA2Launcher.exe file.
