If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet installer for RA2/YR.
Then, open the configuration file 'aqrit.cfg' in Notepad, change the 'ForceDirectDrawEmulation' option to 1, save the file, and the game should work.
The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the 'black screen' issue for many people.ĭownload the zip file and extract 'ddraw.dll' and 'aqrit.cfg' into your game folder.
