Crashing before battles and sometimes after :(

[Trovaner]

I sometimes get problems like that on my Windows 7. Where do you have it installed? RA2 has the most problems when it is in "Program Files (x86)." Regardless of where you saved it, there are going to be problems. As previously mentioned by Somebody, RA2 was not made with Windows 7 in mind.

It could be. RA2 was obviously not meant for Windows 7.

thats silly Infogames should have designed this low budget, unfinished product to suit computers 10 years in the future :P

Infogrames didn't design it, they just published it.  You can blame Gabriel Entertainment for that (I think). :P

However on a more serious note, RA2 is programmed in a really odd way.  It's one of the most volatile games I've ever played as far as crashing goes.  It also takes control of your mouse and keyboard in a way different to that of other games (I'm not as tech savvy so I'm having a hard time explaining), not to mention a bunch of other  little quirks.

It does work fine (or as well as it would anywhere else) on my Windows 7 machine, so I don't think the OS is a problem.

Not the OS then :)


I'm just messing around with the bots in the event mode thing, which is when it usually crashes.
Doesn't really seem to happen if I do it through exhibition.

Aha!


The events were always touchy.  It crashes if you lose a wheel in battle, and it also crashes sometimes seemingly at random.  Your game is working, if not fine, then at least normally.  There's nothing to be done about it.
