C&C Remastered & Other Compatability For Windows 11?
If you just want to play campaign/single player skirmish; get TS-DDRAW or CnC-DDRAW, plop the .dll into your RA2 folder and it should take care of the rest

[Help] Can't get RA2:YR working in Win10. Tried almost all the solutions
Get TS-DDRAW and place it on the RA2 folder

Just came in the mail! Sadly Red Alert 2 and Generals doesn’t work, but Zero hour does after patches. How come Generals was never rereleased?
For RA2/YR: You'll need TS-DDRAW if you're not going the CnCNet route.

How do I fix this? EA told me to go pound sand.
If that is too much of a hassle for you, for your specific problem; get TS-DDRAW and plop the .dll into your RA2/YR folder and it should take care of the rest. It even works for Tiberian Sun!

How is Generals Zero Hot compatibility on Windows 10?
TS-DDRAW might help. Just plop in the .dll on your TS folder and it should take care of the rest.

I have a problem with Yuri's revenge and TFD and I've not encountered it before, please help.
Not sure which one you've used, but did you try TS-DDRAW? Download the .dll and plop it to your RA2 folder. It should take care of the rest and hopefully it solves your issue.

So didn't know this but kinda funny.
If you want widescreen support on vanilla RA2/YR, use TS-DDRAW or CnC-DDRAW.

No Main Menu overlay in Red Allert 2
I'm not sure if CnCNet can be run on Linux (via Wine) or not, but you can try TS-DDRAW as it does mention it works via Wine.

Red Alert 2 DDRAW.DLL Error code 80070057
There are 3rd party launchers that patches and handles The Ultimate Collection games but those are for the Origin version and I'm not sure if they even work for the EA App version.

A Linux User's Guide to Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour: Unfortunately, we are now out of the realm of games that can be entirely fixed by a simple EXE swap out of hand. Fortunately, there are still fixes. Like all games in The Ultimate Collection (Ultimately inferior, more like...), Generals is compromised by terrible EA DRM. Unlike RA2, you can't entirely remove it, but for it and all subsequent games I'll discuss, the best way to handle things is to used the Fixed Launchers Installer. This beauty applies registry fixes and replaces the executables with slightly patched versions that remove a bit of that pesky EA DRM. You still need to have Origin installed in the prefix (I tried to avoid that, believe me), but once you've run the fixer, you no longer need to launch the games through Origin (and in fact should avoid doing so), or their launchers, and can just launch the EXEs directly. Furthermore, you don't need to keep Origin running. Oh, and mods work again. So that's all lovely. The other fix required for Renegades and Zero Hour is gentool which is a d3d8.dll replacement (add that to your DLL overrides...) which fixes the multiplayer, allows for playing at higher resolutions, offers rudimentary anticheat for online play (in that it verifies and checksums the loaded content) and so on. Never leave home without it.
