Retail, First Decade and Origin are supported, IIRC. Must be patched to 1.001 tho.
Better question: where did you get your YR from?
I know XWIS' EXE is not supported, altho last time I tried, XWIS+Ares was working great, indistinguishable from retail+Ares. QUICK_EDIT

I bought a 17th anniversary collection from Origin, but it's too heavy, and I use another copied YR 1.011 with 1.001 patch downloaded from moddb.
I am still confused about 'XWIS', but I will search and find out what it is. Thank you! QUICK_EDIT

XWIS is the EA-approved multiplayer/skirmish-only version, from what I heard.
It functions just like the retail versions do, except for not being tested for compatibility with Ares; so if you have the campaign files and movies, it'll use them. They're just not distributed with the XWIS installation and you have to get them another way.
I look into the code and find it maybe caused by wrong hook addresses...?
Nah, I downloaded a official 0.A released version from launchpad and it works, there is a 100% probability that the issue is due to src code I use...at least I know the problem is not because of gamemd.exe and I don't need to waste time on changing it, Thank You!
I will use VS to attach to the process and gather further information about the exception... Last edited by Scrooge2029 on Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:04 am; edited 2 times in total QUICK_EDIT

The problem is almost set! I just successfully launched it (but I am not sure whether it will raise any exceptions after that...), hohoho, the very first time!
VS project should not use BufferSecurityCheck and ExceptionHandling (in project properties:C/C++:BufferSecurityCheck\ExceptionHandling).

Any version earlier than 0.A (as far as I can tell) used a version of Syringe.exe that completely ignored pre-made patches. That's how I got it to work with the XWIS version of YR. anything beyond that yells at you if you use XWIS edition.

Another note about the XWIS version: If you download the XWIS version of both RA2 and YR, they will work with CnCNet so you can play multiplayer YR. Something I'd recommend doing STRAIGHTAWAY as the XWIS version is not very feature-heavy. _________________ "I'm grade-A, 100%, prime-cut final boss! I'm going to take over the world any day now!"

I was under the impression "functions just like the retail versions do" would imply that, yes, CnCNet is fully compatible with XWIS.
Come to think of it, must've been why Olaf removed the YR download; he got salty everyone moved to CnCNet using XWIS YR as base.
Does CnCNet work with only RA2? It'd surprise me if it did. QUICK_EDIT
