Like I said: retail GAMEMD fails to work properly (if at all) on todays' systems, including my own. I try to provide a fix for and be useful for once to YOU and I get this response.
Huh? Retail original GAMEMD works just fine for me, mine is even original CD version, not the later TFD etc versions and I run it on Windows 10 with ts-ddraw.dll and ARES of course and I have no problems at all... Only big issue was with the RA2/YR installer due to Microsoft's doings disabling Safedisc.
I have no idea what you need the specific XWIS version for honestly than potential stand-alone release in your thinking. Do what you want but frankly others don't see issue(s) you seem to see and if issue is quickexit alone, that is just subject to ARES fix than go get your fix from XWIS exe and risk all compatibility. I don't see why you for example not ask Olaf/XWIS guys to share their 'fixes(?)' so ARES could also implement these making the support more diverse without everyone having to switch for this XWIS exe which bundles god only knows what extra causing potential conflicts with ARES. All I see is that your solution is, dump all other exes besides xwis, don't even try fix the others. QUICK_EDIT

Don't get me wrong: I'm open to solutions to this problem. But so far only Graion has given me a possible solution: using the retail EXE he sent me.
But there's still the risk of it NOT working properly on newer systems, even with patches, a problem XWIS doesn't have.
Oh, and as long as this kind of problem(s) persist, I will NOT let up. Not until someone else who's more reliable than I ever could hope to be gets to work.
And so far, I've yet to see anything from you folks to fix this.
So no: I'll not stop. Even if it takes me years to understand what I'm dealing with, I'll still try. Do NOT try to stop me.
Then please go and die in a fire, you idiot.
I gave that retail exe for the sole reason to shut you the hell up, for fucks sake. I even told you that, you overgrown amoebae (and I feel to excuse to the amoebae). XWIS ain't better than what Ares + CnCNet5 ddraws can achieve. I also don't think that it has better support. For all I know, it could as well open a security hole through the system it includes for the XWIS cheatprotection.
Retail YR always worked for everyone. Hell, Microsoft even provided compatibility fixes for the retail gamemd in one of the patches. Sure, the installer might be broken, but copying over installed folders (or using retail gamemd on the XWIS installation) sidesteps that issue since only Mixer's using the registry and it's not needed for the game to function.
Glad I got fed up from Kerbiter's server, because I don't need to see your arrogant and retarded messages. Because that's all you are - an arrogant retard who have no idea what is he talking about, but feels entitled to boast about it.
