DSL, Original, Iron Forge, and the Robot Wars Mod all don't work. Am I not able to play on this computer?
(What happens is that everything opens up fine. I can make my own robot. However, when it comes to anything stage related (choosing a stage is blank all the time, the garage, and events), the game crashes. I try reinstalling and also readding the arenas, but it ain't working.)
:(

ra2 works fine for me on windows 8

Put it on a flash drive. Then just install a clean copy to the PC if you have to. I've ever had any compatibility issues and all your RA2 sh** is just a few clicks away no matter what PC you're using at the time.
Used this for PCs running XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1.

try xp compatibility too if you haven't yet

Tried it. Didn't work.

I'll try that (BTW, what do you mean my crap?)

Bots, different mods, AI lines, PY files, etc. I even keep my screenshots and that sort of thing on mine.
I use a 16GB flash drive, but that's overkill for the amount of stuff I have.
-
Anyone know the cause of this? (Looking for a big enough USB that I'm allowed to use)

once in a while I accidentally delete some random file in ra2 by accident. A clean install fixes this for me, but it sounds like you may have already tried this. You are using the version from the download section and not the CD version I assume?

Yes (that includes all mods as well that don't need the DSL copy to be pasted over, like Robot Wars RA2 Mod)

I decided to bump this back up to see if there are any possible explanation and a way to fix.
Just giving details again, whenever I start the battle, go on the garage, or even go to a tournament on any RA2 game, it seems to not load any arenas. There's not even 1 arena in the selection screen when choosing to battle. Might it be a program I set default to open the file with (highly unlikely, but letting you know, it's automatically set to open with notepad +), or is it something I need to install on my computer? If you need to know anything on my computer, let me know
Again, sorry for bumping.

Are you playing the game in full screen, or windowed?

I tried both methods. I'll try again just to make sure
-
Have you tried adding the arenas but saying "no" to overwriting anything?

That's a weird method. Once I try the above one, Ill do his.

I think what sonny is saying is if you did do that it would likely give you errors and he was making sure that you didn't

Oh... well, if I could remember, I never really did anything with the files. Right now, I'm trying to download the DSL version, but my computers keeps f-ing up, that I need to cancel (probably just due to my internet, but it should be fine today)
-
I'd try just installing a copy from the "working game" section of the downloads if you're not doing that already

You gotta go to your windows folder and delete system32 that's the program that keeps RA2 from working properly.

don't troll in technical support, bud. You've done enough funny stuff lately, so chill.

Don't worry, I know what it does anyways :/
I would print screen or even press the screenshot button, but it keeps coming up as a black screen.
Might it be with my computer? Do I need to change settings or something, like how it reads the arena files?

Same thing happens to me. I just put it in windowed mode and it works just fine.
