Red Alert 2 suddenly not working

Support

It used to run just fine on Steam Deck : Reddit - Dive into anything

But today, I don’t know what has happened. When the game finishes loading and goes into main menu, it crashes

Reinstallation doesn’t work. Change the install location from SD card ↔ internal storage also does not work.

I’ve noticed something very strange.

The Steam Deck must be docked and the ddraw.ini must contain

Blockquote
fullscreen=false
windowed=false

and it will work again.

Though, if I unplug the USB-C, it will just crash again.

So I’m confused. Really don’t know what has happened. It used to work just fine like I mentioned above…

Nevermind. After a long tinkering saga, I’ve found a working settings by accident.

Even though it’s EXE, it’s still run on top of Lutris.
There are a lot more tinkering with Lutris’ runner options, ddraw.ini and winecfg. Since this forums allow only 1 picture per post, I think it would be a spam to put them all here.
