Red Alert 2 - How to fix explosion lag

[MrCruZ1992]

thank's dude

solved my problem...

i'd blow u kisses (no homo) : )

[funnyvideiofreak]

btw this also fixes Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge from crashing when played at high resolutions (e.g. 1680 x 1050)

so thanks x2!!! :D

[EnsiGeetard]

@funnyvideiofreak, awesome!

I remember doing the resolution fix to 1920x1080 and holy DAAAMMN I saw like the entire map after that haha!

[dieselrock11]

wow if your'e pc lags at red alert 2 you realy need a new pc

[EnsiGeetard]

@dieselrock11, wow... Just wow.

[quangluu96]

@dieselrock11 It's the game problem, you think i need a new pc just to play an 12 years old game? LOL even a netbook can run this game at 1920x1080 no problem.

[Fedithan]

I play from "The First Decade" edition on Win7.

Unfortunately the fix didn't help.

[NorSchool]

I actually play this game every day. It never ever gets boring especially not with the Apocalypse mod which gives me 140 completely new units, stuctures, technologies and superweapons.

[minetube91]

[DrogbaMBT]

could u tell me how to increase the game speed when playing in campaign mode in ra2 too?

[EnsiGeetard]

@DrogbaMBT, sorry don't know, I remember doing it before though. Try Googling it! Google has the answer for basically everything! :)

[GurgleOneSixSix]

It worked perfectly for me. I have the TFD version, windows 7.

Thank you :>

@GurgleOneSixSix, sweeet! Now go kick some ass! :D

[CommandoFin]

I've got the First Decade and unfortunately this didn't work :( but this is still kickass game :D

[DrategoniZero]

Dude, you're a genius! Finally, I can play the damn thing properly. Love the backing music to this video, too :-D

Still lags a lot! I have tried everything.. :/

[EnsiGeetard]

@TheErik961, then I don't know, sorry :(

[KujaNiv100]

waow impressive!!! Thank you very much! The game works smoothly now in my Windows7 32bits; it was very annoying when the game lagged at every explosion (or when many units are displayed)

[EnsiGeetard]

@KujaNiv100, no problem dude!

Yeah I was bothered by that all the time... Took forever to find the fix haha.

[KujaNiv100]

@EnsiGeetard, just for the story, do you know what the "VideoBackBuffer" setting is and why the fact to disable it fix the problem?

[EnsiGeetard]

@KujaNiv100, I have absolutely no idea :(

If someone knows please fill us in!

[DasBandicoot]

Knew this already... had to do it because i run this awesome old game on 1680 x 1050 ^^ So much of the map on the screen :P

[Elintasokas]

That's awesome. I'd install my RA2 + YR if i only knew where the TFD disc is. -.-

[EnsiGeetard]

Fuck I want The First Decade, but it is nowhere to be found >8(

[Elintasokas]

Hmm. I found it on a few finnish internet stores. Just search im pretty sure it's somewhere. It isn't that old after all. :P

[Gameboyer]

Omg Awesome! i hated that lag at times, glad you showed how to fix it! :D

We gotta play online dude!

[EnsiGeetard]

I think you'd woop my ass at it if I did :p

I also know how to set custom resolution, i'll probably make a vid about it as well.

[RustyR]

I love Red Alert 2!

Must install it again.
