Maybe try downloading a fresh copy of stock from here? If all else fails you could rename your stock game's UI folder and copy over the UI folder from your DSL install. It's certainly not an issue with RA2 itself (as DSL is working) so it must be an issue with a config or UI file.

it's a fresh copy.

I'll just stick to the DSL game for now. it works. i did have it crash on me, so i'm going to probably have to run that in win7 compatibility.

i attached a screenshot. I did add the I fix there and still get this. I already set compatibility to windows 7 trying to see if maybe that would help the screen.

that screenshot is full screen, but it does the same for windowed as well, just has a title bar. I even tried it in 640x480 windowed and it's still zoomed in like that. no idea why. i mihgt not be able to play the base game. The DSL version does work for me at least.

sadly none of those worked. My graphics card was set to aspect, but I stilled changed it to none, and even tried fullscreen, and that didn't work.

i wish i could get a refund for RA3, but I waited too long to even play it after buying it. Then I finally got around to installing it. I have a whopping total of 98 minutes in it. Imho, Steam should go through and refund everyone and take the game out of the store, as it's no where near a complete game.

I'm looking into the mods and others creations. I'd like to get the game to work first though. I've tried making adjustments in the config file, but nothing seems to work, It's always zoomed in and in the upper left corner of the screen :/

what's the most popular mod that gets played? I would love to play online against other, I never got to as a kid. Would be pretty cool.

So I downloaded the DSL 2.2 from https://gametechmods.com/forums/installation-support/dsl-full-download!/ and it works. So I'll be playing that for now until i can get some help with the base game.

Hey! I'm new here. Hope I'm not too late :P I remember playing these games as a kid, my brother and I always watched Battlebots on Comedy Central, so our dad bought us the games. It's been quite a few years since then though :P

I bought the Robot Arena 3 on Steam a few months back, as I saw it and it brought back the nostalgia of playing the first 2 as a kid. However, It doesn't seem to like my PC, and just does not do the series justice. it's a shame.

Anyways, as I was looking around the internet, I came across this forum, and the download for the 2nd game. Would be awesome to get that. I have it downloaded, but no idea how to get it to work. The UI is entirely messed up, and it doesn't help I have a 2560x1080 monitor (i kick myself in the butt every day for purchasing it, most games do not support the resolution.) I was wondering if anyone can help me to get the game running on my machine, i have no idea where to start. I did download the "4K UI Fix" as well, but it didn't seem to just fix the issue, I'm assuming I need to edit some things in the CGF File, but putting that to my resolution didn't change anything.
