Red Alert 3 crashing during Skirmish after attempting to fix

[Geraldb78]

I have tried changing compatibility to Windows XP and Windows 7

16 bit color is set

Ran as administrator

Origin in Game is off

Graphics are set to medium

In game resolution is still 800x600

Command line has -Win

Still, I can play a map for about 10min and it lowers game and cycles the same sound. I'm all out of options now.

FOUND THE SOLUTION!! It's not the missing C++ Redits. Installments, Its not Direct X9, It's not modern CPU Issue, It's not a Settings issue, It's not Compatibility Issue, It's not a Win10 Update Issue... Guess what it was!?
I had to Whitelist the application at my Anti-Virus :eahigh_file: (I'm using BitDefender)

Hey there @Geraldb78

This is, unfortunately, a notorious bug with the game on modern systems. Some get it fixed, some don't. I would suggest trying the compatibility mode for Windows Vista (Service Pack 2). While in the Compatibility tab, tick also from the bottom the "Run this program as an administrator" if you didn't already. Other than that you seem to have already done really everything that tends to be suggested for this problem.

You could always try to repair the installation as well by going to the My Game Library, right-clicking the Red Alert 3 and choosing "Repair" .

Also, don't put 16-bit colour mode on modern 3D games, it'll only destabilize them further, if they'll even run.

I want to thank both of you for the response, it sadly still suffers from the same issue after the solutions both of you gave. if y'all have any more ideas? That would be awesome :D

Unless maybe an old cd copy or downloaded copy would be better to work with?

@Geraldb78

Uninstall the game, remove all files that are left in its directory afterwards, then try again.

[Geraldb78]

I will give that a shot and let you know what happens.
