DCoder should... -- [split] Graphics wizardry

[Beowulf]

My machine is well beyond YR's recommended requirements and it still lags but I cut down on that with a couple of things I have. The large part of lag, as we've discovered previously, has to do with DirectDraw and it being hardware enabled, whereas Yuri's Revenge wants to handle all graphical voodoo instead of letting something else take over. I label it akin to DirectDraw fighting YR for control and then it lags.

The easiest way to clip lag is to add VideoBackBuffer=no to the [Video] section of ra2(md).ini.
That seems to be the most universal method for at least attempting to alleviate YR's lagginess.
