From Steam: Red Alert 2 shutdown in a long mission

Hi,

I'm running it in plain mode. I tried Experimental, 11, 10, and 9, but it works best in plain mode.

After completing a long task or two tasks, it suddenly shuts down on its own. How can we investigate this?

EDIT: I think there was a change in the plain version, or maybe there was a graphics/lag issue before that as well.
After playing for about 1–2 hours, the game froze, but the sound kept playing. The cursor moved erratically, and the screen was frozen. Then the game shut down on its own.

i dont have or use steam but i play ra2 yuris revenge all the time using cncnet launcher through wine, most of the time it works perfectly but occasionally it slows down and becomes unplayable and im pretty sure has frozen with the sound still playing like you describe, its just part of playing ra2, you get used to it, im old enough to remember playing lan games back in 2002 where the exact same thing would happen so its nothing new, the game engine is just prone to it i guess, we used to get so angry when we were over an hour into a match and had to call it off due to slowness or a crash.... still the best game ever imo
