Red Alert 2 Windows 8 DirectDraw compatibility
#3
A DirectDraw compatibility mode gets activated for game.exe when ra2.exe is present and some other conditions are met. The updated executable now runs on Windows 8, though performance appears to be sub-optimal at least in windowed mode.
Alt-tab still doesn't work, the original exe suffers from the same problem.

How much is known about the game's use of DD? Does the game use real Windows control for it's interface and if so, how do these get drawn?

I'm assuming YR suffers from the same problems.
