Windows 10 Crashing RA2
« on: August 21, 2015, 01:59:03 PM »
I recently upgraded to windows 10 and RA2 seemed to run fine until I tried to create a new bot. I tried to test it in the test area, game running fine. Tried to go back to builder and it crashes. Go back to game, no bot. Repeat process two times and no luck. Go into bot builder, exit, no bot. Try to enter other bot slot, crash. Go into my team, exit, go to other team, crash. I don't really want to go back to windows 7. Is there a fix someone can come up with or should I just forget about playing RA2 ever again.

I've had no problems with it. Are you running in windowed mode?

q1. are you running it in full screen or windowed
q2. where are your ra2 files located? for some reason in later windows copies ra2 seems to like to crash when it's in program files

btw if you go into the bot lab with an empty chassis slot and don't make a chassis at all and then go back to the team hq the game is basically guaranteed to crash

Tried running in compatibility mode multiple times and in windowed and full screen mode. It seems like when RA2 loads bots it just crashes. It seems to not be able to save any bots I make and when reloading or loading another bot it crashes. Maybe something with the way it saves bots or the way it interacts with windows 10. It's not installed in program files btw. I might install a new copy and see if that works (this copy isn't transferred from windows 7 as my computers hdd died and I reinstallled RA2 after re upgrading.

FIXED! Installed a new copy using WinRAR (Used crappy unpacker from Windows store before.)
