I can do everything through the game.exe file but join multiplayer games (they crash when it tries to start one). Any ideas? I already tried to open all UDP and TCP ports, disabling firewall, etc. Im at win10.

That could be caused by your network hardware, it's happened in the past.

Try different hardware or drivers.

I have an Alienware laptop, Gforce GTX 980M. I have downloaded Red Alert 2 from Xwis. Multiplayer works fine but when I try the campaign an error message comes up: Unable to load scenario. Then Red Alert 2 stops working and closes. Also I cant seem to get online. I press internet on the Red alert menu and my password doesnt work. How do I fix this?

This didn't work for me. I have my Red Alert 2 Allied, Soviet and Document disc and I have Windows 10. My Laptop is a Toshiba Equium L40 With 2GB of RAM and Integrated graphics. I also reverted these changes to my files, ran in compatibility mode for Windows 95, 98, ME, XP SP2, XP SP3 and Vista SP1, all compatibility modes were with 640x800 first then not. Any help is appreciated.   :D

It's due to the fact that you use integrated graphics.

Try making sure that the game is running on your Nvidia card instead of the integrated one.

Are you using an integrated graphics chip or an add in card?
If it's an integrated chip, then you're out of luck.

Hi, thank you for the fix. The one for Yuri works perfekt, but for RA 2 unfortunately does not. When I start the game I get a screen like on the attached picture.

 

I have to stop this by Task Manager. I have Win 10 newest update on a desktop system with Nvidia GTX 670.

 

Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my bad English.

 

Edit: I have the Origin game from Ultimate Collection.
