RA2 & Windows 7
« on: January 03, 2011, 12:54:10 PM »
Hi all,

few days ago I just remembered this awesome game which I played 2-4 years ago like crazy. Well, now we've got windows 7 and my graphics in RA2 messed up when started.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I tried to run it in Windows XP Virtual PC but The game crashes when I try to start it.
Is there any way to get this awesome game work with 64-bit win7 ?

I couldn't find any win7 topics here so I started one.

It's really big job to start installing WinXP to new hard drive and play the game from there. So is there any way to play this game in 64-bit windows 7 ?

Does you RA2 look like this?

If so dowload the 1.3 patch. It can be found in the dowloads section off the front page.
