Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its expansion, Yuri's Revenge
Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge has stood the test of time, and its enduring popularity can be attributed to several factors:
- Purchase & Install The Ultimate Collection via the EA App.
- Locate the install folder (usually
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection\Red Alert 2\). - Download CnCNet from cncnet.org. Run the installer and select your Yuri’s Revenge folder.
- Let CnCNet patch the game. It will create a new shortcut: "CnCNet Yuri’s Revenge."
- Launch the game via the CnCNet client. Do not use the original
ra2.exeoryuri.exe. - Configure renderer: In the CnCNet settings, select "cnc-ddraw" as the renderer. Set your native resolution (e.g., 1920x1080).
- Optional performance tweak: Right-click the CnCNet shortcut → Properties → Compatibility → Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and set "High DPI scaling override" to "Application."
