that 1 min lose mission sounds like old piracy deterrent haha.

even if you play singleplayer only, download CnCNet client, it adds ddraw wrapper also which fixes the black screen.

install the game via Origin: https://www.origin.com/mys/en-us/store/comm...mate-collection
disable Origin in game and Cloud Saves.

install CnCNet client: https://cncnet.org/red-alert-2

run CnCNetYRLauncher.exe, get any remaining updates, then go to Options > Display > change the Renderer to TS-DDraw. change your resolution and other options then can exit.

this CnCNetYRLauncher.exe for multiplayer.

RA2Launcher.exe for campaign.

if you want the game to run from shortcut without the launcher to select RA2/Yuri then use https://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-co...tion-launchers/
create a shortcut to RA2Launcher.exe on your desktop, right click the shortcut > Properties, add " -game ra2" or " -game ra2ep1" for the expansion, to the end of the Target, like this:



the menu and cutscenes are small for me, by keeping aspect ratio. but the game itself is fullscreen.
