Issues fixed[edit]

Game does not start (Origin)[edit]

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

This issue may occur when using the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection version from Origin.

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

Black screen with switchable graphics[edit]

This occurs when the game engine tries to render in VRAM. To fix this, 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]

Game runs too fast[edit]

Before using this fix, make sure the in-game 'Game Speed' slider is adjusted properly
