I am having an Issue, I have downloaded and extracted the files as stated above however when I go to launch the .exe the game instantly crashes. I am running windows 7 64bit. is this a comparability Issue or am I missing a step?

I know this might sound trivial but did you enable the "run as administrator" checkbox on the .exe properties? Without it, it will attempt to run but fail.
It shouldn't be a compatibility issue to my knowledge - you can always try running it in compatibility mode if you want. If that doesn't work, extract it all to another location, maybe use your User file. Being 10 years old it's not the most stable game - well, most people say it wasn't even stable at release...
Try copying your folder over to another PC of yours, so we can see if it's a problem with the PC you're using now or a problem with your install. Good luck fixing it!
I know, but maybe he can use a friend's PC temporarily if they live close or whatever. You could even use a virtual machine I guess, or install Win 98 on a new partition for the authentic RA2 experience.

I have tried all of these things with no luck. :(
OK. No more bad tech support from me.I know, but maybe he can use a friend's PC temporarily if they live close or whatever. You could even use a virtual machine I guess, or install Win 98 on a new partition for the authentic RA2 experience.
You're just digging yourself into an even deeper hole.

I was having the same problem as you, i then went into the ra2.cfg file in notepad and turned off fullscreen, and that fixed it for me :D

Failrace recently played this game, so we may get another small influx of new/returning members. I can't promise I'll come back for good (with revision and exams approaching), but I'll be hovering and lurking as I always have. However, for now, my builders block has been cured! :DNice to know I'm not the only one who watches FailRace.
Here's the video link if anyone wants it:
Mac and RA2 do not work. There may be a solution but i cant help you there.D: man that blows, well hopefully i or someone can help me find a solution
If I'm not mistaken, you should've opened a new topic under "General Support".
Never heard of Virtual Box nonetheless.
Hey all! This is a quick tutorial to installing all 3 most-played versions of Robot Arena 2 - the original Stock game, the DSL 2.1 mod and the newer Ironforge mod. The process is identical for all 3 versions, so I have just made 1 guide and pointed out the only place it differs - downloading the file. The picture examples show DSL 2.1, and the guide will assume you are using Windows 7 or 8/8.1.so the game has the data for all the robots but is there anyway to add them in the game. I know there is importing them from the robot designs but most of them GMF files plz help me . :confused:
NB: To install any of these, your computer will need either WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) or 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) installed. Both are free and completely virus-free. My example pictures will show screenshots of 7zip, but WinRAR is similar.
1) Download your chosen versions file:
Stock (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=4)
DSL 2.1 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=5)
Ironforge (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=228)
My examples show DSL 2.1 but the process is exactly the same.

2) Ensure you have either 7zip or WinRAR installed and open the .rar file. I'm using 7zip in this example but it's similar.

3) Extract to whatever location you desire - if you're made a version crash or mess up, extract it to a different location to get a clean copy.

Game should now be ready to play using the Robot Arena 2.exe in the folder that was extracted.
