Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge saving and loading problems....

[t3hn3w13]

So I have no idea what the problem is. RA2 works just fine, but Yuris revenge, whenever I save or load it takes forever, and now has gotten so bad that the game just never loads.....

Ive tried patching, but I keep getting an error saying the old file could not be found....

Help plox!

I have this stupid problem too with Windows 10. 

Many people have this issue since Windows 8.x and Win10

- Before when using Windows 7 it was working fine

- Too bad Origin does not support Windows Compatibility mode to run Red Alert in previous Windows 7 mode

- Disabling Origin cloud storage does not work

- Enabling DEP mode for Red Alert does not effect the program

- Whitelisting Red Alert files and it folders in Windows Defender does not work

- Running Origin in Clean-mode is not supported because you require an Internet Connection in order to logon Origin

There is something that triggers the game to freeze when loading during a current Battle.

If found a (very bad) workaround:

Please do the following in order to Load a Save Game:

- Quit the current game back to MAIN MENU

- Click on Campain

- Load Save Game

This should take 3-5 minutes but will load a Save Game.

Or shutdown the game completely and Load a Save Game.

It's either something with Save games files or due to Graphics

Did either of you try actually running the game in WinXP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode, as is advised in pretty much every thread on this forum?

:PARTLY SOLVED:

i had just verified on my machine and it worked with XP mode

I applied XP compatibility mode with the Red Alert 2 shortcut in Start Menu

I get the message "You're currently in windows compatibility mode."

This loads the RA2launcer.exe and starts Origin it would show choice between Yuri and Red Alert2

I had chosen Red Alert 2 and reloaded a Save game.

This still takes a long time to load a save game but your solution works.
