exe in your Red Alert 2 directory (and Yuri's Revenge if applicable) to run in compatibility mode and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)', then tick the run as administrator box and apply.
Next repeat what you've already done: change each and every. The more tech-savvy might be able to explain what that means and that reinstalling may not be necessary, but it might be easiest just to start afresh in case you accidentally edited something important. I will explain which solutions worked for me and hopefully they will help you too:įirstly, in regards to 'FATAL String Manager failed to initialize properly', I would reinstall the game. This problem seems to span over all different versions of Windows, graphics cards and versions of Red Alert 2 so you are not alone! I had the same graphics issues (I am using Windows 7 and C&C First Decade) and through some simple fixes Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge now work perfectly.
