Hey guys. Long time. How are you all?

 

For some reason my RA2 & YR (Origin versions) keep lagging when attacking enemies, It lags and stutters around a lot. I don't have the latest GPU drivers simply because they keep causing me to BSOD but not sure if that was only happening with my old motherboard. I had a Crosshair IV Formula (Asus) and now have a Crosshair V Formula-Z. Specs from CPU-ID below.

 

 

Could someone help with this please?

 

Thanks.

No. Windows 7. My CPU-Z result has the information.

 RA2 & YR  keep lagging when attacking enemies.

 

ra2 folder>open textdocument RA2> search  [Video}>> add  VideoBackBuffer=no.

 

So it should look like this :

 

[Video]
VideoBackBuffer=no
ScreenWidth=1024
ScreenHeight=768
StretchMovies=no

It worked for me, prism tank mass lag attack is gone.

 

[NSanityHD]

Done that but it still lags.

Option #2

Disconnect the computer.
Open the window.
Throw the computer as hard as you can out of the window.
Problem solved. Or download the xwis version, do the videobackbuffer again. If still lag, then it is something with your computer, to weak or to new.

Windows 7 can still have the ddraw issue, so try the topic I linked and update your video drivers.

[NSanityHD]

The latest video drivers for my GPU caused BSOD issues with my old motherboard before installing my new one. I'm not sure if the issue continues with this one.

 

Option #2

Disconnect the computer.
Open the window.
Throw the computer as hard as you can out of the window.

That is the worst idea anyone could give when trying to help someone..

Try setting the VideoBackBuffer entry in the ini files ([video] section) to 1.

 

If that doesn't change anything, do this:

1. Disable Origin functionality for all games within The Ultimate Collection
2. Apply Bibber's fixed TUC launchers: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/
3. Attempt the Win8/10 fixes again (this way, they won't be overwritten by Origin)
4. Apply the C&C Graphics Patch if needed: http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/CnCPatcher.html

YAY works great with "VideoBackBuffer=yes"!

 

RA2s resolution is still shit on the menus but in game is fine. As for YR, both in-game resolution and menu resolution is perfect!

 

Didn't have to use the launcher or graphics patch. Thank you!
