This is too ridiculous...
At least, 2560x1600 is the highest RA2 and YR from XWIS can go before crashing the game.
And no, the CnCNet client doesn't fix that. Looks like it'll only be used for online-play.

The development of C&C S can begin for real after a month or two, as college/university is slightly more important.


But don't worry.

The future will come to you.

Soon.

And piece of advice: cover up all the cams on this guy first.

Development of Supreme RA2

TAK02 Blog

Supreme RA2, originally RA2 Supreme, had a small start. Too small, in fact. Hence why I'm aiming at something bigger.

And by bigger I mean as big as I possibly can, until I finally feel like SRA2 is worth playing, something I definitely didn't consider at all with the first few versions of the mod, but to be fair, I did that later on with SRA2 2.02, even if only slightly.

The same can be said for Supreme Yuri's Revenge's latest version, SYR 2.01,and its 'spin-off' sequel Supreme Yuri Comeback 0.98.

But after a lot of time of thinking it over, I have decided:

The Supreme C&C Mods will no longer be a collection of mods, each with their own factions, campaigns, etc, but one mod, for primarily one engine, with compatibility patches for older or newer engines either preceding or following.

Welcome to the future. C&C S. True Supremacy.

As for whether or not this'll be a smart move and I might need to actually back-up on my own words and goals, well...

Time will tell... Sooner or later, time will tell...

But unfortunately, life gets in the way, and stalls development. Not to mention what problems I get from attempting to run either RA2 or YR on Windows 10. I might still have my old HP Mini with Windows XP, but it has one flaw: it's rather slow, and incapable of running recording software properly without too much lag. What few videos I uploaded here are proof of that, not to mention that it's stuck on Service Pack 2 and recently started ignoring all orders of launching any and all installers, even 32-bit versions.

That, and Fraps seems to crash every time I attempt to make a recording or screenshot now.

On the bright side, I'll be receiving Micro Softy-Brains' new Surface Book about three weeks from writing this.

And while I may not like anything MicroBrains-related anymore unless necessary, the Book offers an external GPU, which I heard is a must to at least have a chance at getting RA2YR to run properly on the newer systems like it would on any Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine. Unlike the other SurfaceTypes (get it?), and is supposed to be overall better. Despite all of them completely lacking any screws on the outside. So much for modifyabilty, repairabilty and recovery.

If I get RA2YR to work on the new system, I can share some pics and vids over the latest changes with you, which aren't much, to be honest.

And see how much a mouse is replaceable with a touch-screen. It'll suck, but anything to make me hate MicroBrains more is good.

I have classes at the moment, hence why development is VERY slow. And will be for the next few years outside of the semester-holidays.

Still, let us embrace the future, and celebrate my first ever blog!

...I sound like a kid right now, don't I?

Apologies for any and all inconvenience this too-long-notice has or will cause you. I'll try to make it up to you. Soon.
