"How To Play Red Alert 2 in 1080p / 1440p on Windows 11 - Step by Step Guide"
In this video I cover how to play Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge in 1080p and 1440p on Windows 11.
For this video, I am using the Steam version of the game, which is included as part of the Command and Conquer the Ultimate Collection, but this will also work if you have purchased the collection through the EA App.
Step 1. Change Gameplay Resolution.
To add support for modern resolutions, we need to make a single edit to the DDrawCompat.ini file located in the game's installation directory.
For example, if the game has been installed from Steam, by default it should be located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Red Alert II
Alternatively, if the game has been installed using the EA App, then it will be located at:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Red Alert II
In either case, open the DDrawCompat.ini file with Notepad and then amend the SupportResolutions line to read as below.
SupportResolutions - native
Save the file once done and launch Red Alert 2.
Now, with the game running, in the main menu, type the word hires and you should hear a beeping noise, indicating that it has worked.
Now when you navigate to Settings, you can select your required resolution from the drop-down menu.
Just bear in mind that this will only apply to game play, and none of the menus will be scaled to this chosen resolution.
For Yuri’s Revenge, simply repeat the same process, although you will notice that in that game, the menus will be scaled.
Step 2. Upscale Mission Briefing Videos.

By default, all mission briefing videos in Red Alert 2 are recorded at 640x480, however, there is a fantastic mod available that upscales the videos to 1080p.
To use this mod, simply click on the Files tab, and then download and extract the file.
From here, copy into the game’s installation path, overwriting when prompted, or alternatively .old the previous file first and then copy.
Just a final note, you will only need to do this for the base game, as the expansion Yuri’s Revenge will correctly stretch the videos.
