11 months ago I think it's the usual NVIDIA G-Sync crash in exclusive fullscreen mode. Even though you're using the default FullscreenMode=borderless setting, Windows has some built in compatibility shims set up for gamemd.exe, which forces it to use exclusive fullscreen mode. This takes precedence over the setting in DDrawCompat.
I'd recommend to add an application profile for gamemd.exe in NVIDIA Control Panel, and set Monitor Technology to Fixed Refresh there.
Alternatively, you could try renaming the executable to something else. That's not an option I could try, because I have the game installed through EA app and I can only launch it through EA app, so I can't rename anything. I'm not sure if this is possible with other releases of the game.
When I try to launch RA2MD.exe (gamemd.exe) to play SinglePlayer Campaign of Yuri Revenge
The exe instant crashes.
Using the Wrapper with the CnCNetYRLauncher.exe (For multiplayer or skirmish only). gamemd-spawn.exe instead is used and everything works great.
