Sorry for the late reply, but Alt+Enter is what let me switch out of and back into YR. The behavior is the same as back in the days of XP, for me.

Are you sure you are not confusing Alt+Enter with ...

This one actually seems to be working better for me than ts-ddraw, for some reason. I'm not able to go into windowed mode, but other than that, it's been flawless, including letting me actually switch ...

No, these old versions of DirectDraw were used in games made between 1995-2001, might work for a lot of old games but tiberian twilight is way too new and probably is using direct3d instead

I know, I know... we already got ts-ddraw, I actually added support for 16bit color depth to the good old cnc-ddraw for dune 2000 but it does work with other westwood games too.

If anyone wants to ...

GlFinish should not be used by default (unless you enable vsync, but that's probably not a good idea)

Pre-release 1.1.4.2

minimap bug should be fixed.
auto renderer had a bug too that could cause a black screen and it should be fixed now.

I just tested the latest one, RA2, Win7x64, Win9x compat, Run as Admin... on AMD 7950/R9 280 3gb... and it doesn't work.

It pops up the game on the taskbar, so I see the icon, but never focuses to ...

thanks for reporting, the color bug should be fixed in the next release.

Problem was that GDI was using RGB555 and OpenGL was using RGB565. Both should be using RGB565 now (it seems to work fine). ...

Did you do away with the double resolution switching ?

I don't know, I never had this bug and I don't have any win7 pc to test it.

Pre-release 1.1.3.4

Support for OpenGL and GDI renderers in the same dll.

The renderer will default to OpenGL and fallback to GDI on failure

New options in ddraw.ini - Vsync=(yes|no) and ...

Updated to 1.1.3.3, there was a bug that could cause the game to freeze sometimes.

I guess you might not even have the scroll patch, not sure if DTA/TI have it enabled.

We are currently trying to find ways to make it smoother, using more than 1 cpu core seems to help quite a bit ...

I was testing on Speeds 4, 5 and 6 (max). I usually play on 4 or 5, and it suffers on both.

In fact yes, IIRC it stutters if I scroll or move the mouse around, I will check it later.

I've done some testing on TI, and sadly your version of TS-DDraw doesn't work as well for me as previous releases.
Pros:
- most of the menus respond very quickly and smoothly
Cons:

There is now a new pre-release (1.1.3.1) available with optional FPS overlay + experimental stretching support

um, why would this be useful?

Do screenshots then also have stretched images with big blocks instead of single pixels?

You can use any resolution with it, it's quite useful. 2x scaling looks ver ...

Working on stretching currently, first prototype is done

Normally, I'd be overjoyed to see the old but gold OS still get support, but this makes me wonder: Anyone ever had RA2/YR NOT run on WinXP or earlier?

Now you can run it in a ...

Thanks again for testing!

New release, 1.1.3.0

In RA2 / YR the game will make the screen resolution match the one from the menu to avoid the black bars. Once the gameplay starts it will switch to the real resolution you chose for playing.Negative. ...

I think the "settings 800x600 first before the actual resolution from sun.ini" logic can be safely removed from the EXE

As for the GDI ...

Could be the same problem as reported by G-E. The game goes into 800x600 mode initially and then after loading it switches to your chosen resolution, I guess that's where it fails.

Thanks again for testing! We got some of the problems mentioned in here fixed and there will be a new release soon.

Ok cool, about the Alt+Tab issue with OpenGL... Does this also happen when you run the game in a window and minimize it?

Thanks for testing, you guys are talking about Yuri's Revenge, right? Or is it vanilla RA2?

Updated to 1.1.1.0: dkeeton made a faster scaling (e.g. for the cutscenes)

Looking for testers for a new release of TS-DDraw.

Red Alert 1 has besides the Demo Recording/Playback also a motion capture feature that takes screenshots, I bet TS got that too.

Could patch the game to enable it. It's probably pretty slow though, ...

Yep. Does this dll not feature DD hardware emulation?

Nope, I think it's actually even trying to prevent emulation. Emulation can have all kind of side effects like flickering, broken window mode, ...

I actually tried it with ccmix today and it seems to be too flawed to use it.

In Red Alert 1 you can just copy your mods into the map file and then play it online.

I guess this should work in Red Alert 2 too
