RA2 + YR DIR - TheMan - 23.12.2006
Hi
I have installed RA2 and YR in D:INstalled/Westwood instead of orginal place C:Westwood/Ra2.. and i cant runt the game..This have happend many time before in WinXp and Win2000..
The error messege:
****FATAL****String Mananger failed to initilazied properly
Is there something to do to fix the problem or is it just isint posseble?
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Bobingabout - 23.12.2006
try setting the exe files to compatibility mode, open the directory, right click on ra2md.exe and click properties, press the compatibility tab and turn on windows 98 compatibility. do the same for gamemd.exe and yuri.exe.
see of that helps
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - DCoder - 23.12.2006
I am pretty sure the location where you installed the game has nothing to do with whether it works or not. Do what bob suggested.
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Renegade - 23.12.2006
If you find out the reason and a solution for your problem, please add a note on FATAL Error (its ModEnc page).
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - TheMan - 23.12.2006
compatibility did not helped, and that is not the problem. The problem is that i did not installed in "C:/Westwood/Ra2"
I have had this prolem in many years..RA2 and YR MUST be installed to C:/Westwood/Ra2"
Maybie this can be fixed with hacking? ?
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Bobingabout - 23.12.2006
i never install to C:\westwood\RA2, and i never have any problems, i normally install it to C:\Games\Red Alert 2.
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Marshall - 24.12.2006
Indeed, and myself to E:\games\ra2
Although your "D:\Installed\Westwood" would suggest that you install all Westwood games to the same directory? This would probably cause some pretty major problems. Every game/program should be installed to a separate directory.
How much free disk space do you have on D: ?
If it's not much then I would think that might be the problem. Try to have at least 2GB free on each hard disk.
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Renegade - 24.12.2006
I usually install to (someDriveNotC):\Westwood\Alarm 2\, so I, too, can confirm an installation to C:\Westwood\Ra2 is not necessary.
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Bobingabout - 24.12.2006
yes, if you install red alert 2, and yuri's revenge to D:\Installed\Westwood then it should work, however, install anything else in there, especially tiberium sun(firestorm), renegage, or generals(zero hour) without an RA2 subdirectory (and TS/Renegade/Generals subdirectories) then some files will definitly conflict with red alert 2.
just make sure every game has its own install folder, and it is where the installer installed it to, and not moved afterwards, and it should work.
RE: RA2 + YR DIR - Renegade - 25.12.2006
Right. Don't install me in your RA2 folder!
