I tried the DDraw.dll_for_menu_bug fix by glukv48, but it didn't work (or i don't know if it did, because i wasn't able to launch the game at all when using it) The Menu fix by LH_Mouse fixed the 'tick' and slider problems, but unfortunaely made everything else not update properly instead. Iv'e tried the different solutions in this thread: I am having a similar problem when trying to play the Mod/Standalone called 'The Dawn of The Tiberium Age' (Graphics doesnt update when 'ticking' boxes and it doesnt show when i move sliders either) and after lurking around their forum for a bit i got to this thread. I suppose it might work better than the other solution for those that do have a separate one, though, since the solution in first post has some minor, non-critical side effects.

Probably not gonna help much, considering that this issue mostly plagues machines that only have (Intel) CPU with integrated GPU and no separate graphics card. Note: I don't know about other graphic processors, but I'm guessing they're quite similar. Scroll down through the given settings until you come across 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration' and change the given setting to 'Single display performance mode'. If it's not listed, you will need to add it into the list.Ĭhange the preferred graphics processor to the secondary processor (not the integrated graphis). Open the 'Program Settings' tab and select either game.exe or gamemd.exe or both in the dropdown list. If you have a secondary graphic processor and it's NVIDIA, open it's control panel and select 'Manage 3D settings' on the left panel. This isn't working I can't apply the extended display as it makes it so that I can't see anything on my desktop Start Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, or Tiberian Sun, menus and videos should work properly now. Go to the energy options and set it to maximun performance. Open the Intel HD Graphics Settings, check the Advanced Mode. We're done with the screen resolution menu.

Select your main display, and set 'Multiple displays' to 'Extend these displays', finally apply the changes. Set the option to 'Try to connect anyway on: VGA'. Under 'Multiple displays' it will say 'No display detected'. Select the unplugged monitor button anyway. Next to your main display, there'll be a grey square (the unplugged second display) that sayd 'Another display not detected'.

But that's no more, as I've finally found a solution, which I'm posting here for anyone who also has this problem.įirst, right click on Desktop and select Screen Resolution.Ĭlick Detect (with no additional monitor connected). I've had a bug with command and conquer games on my windows 7 laptop, making them barely playable, as the menu screens seem to not refresh. Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)
