Windows headers require the default packing option. Changing this can lead to memory corruption.

winnt.h // Much of the Windows SDK assumes the default packing of structs. #if !defined(WINDOWS_IGNORE_PACKING_MISMATCH) && !defined(__midl) && !defined(MIDL_PASS) && !defined(SORTPP_PASS) && !defined(RC_INVOKED) #if defined(__cplusplus) && (_MSC_VER >= 1600) static_assert(__alignof(LARGE_INTEGER) == 8, "Windows headers require the default packing option.

I hope it works for you. : -)

In my experience you are better off defining WINDOWS_IGNORE_PACKING_MISMATCH instead of setting struct member alignment to default. The altered struct alignment was causing my dlls to crash the game. Preserving the original struct alignment resulted in dlls that were compatible with the game. My fork shows how to do this if you are interested https://github.com/alexlk42/CnC_Remastered_Collection

Hi Alexlk42, I downloaded your version. But when i build, it got the following error:

Resource\TiberianDawn.rc(10): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Done building project "TiberianDawn.vcxproj" -- FAILED. ------ Build started: Project: RedAlert, Configuration: Release Win32 ------ Resource\RedAlert.rc(10): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Done building project "RedAlert.vcxproj" -- FAILED. ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

afxres.h is indeed missing. Any ideas?

I believe that means you need to download the build tools, which contain the needed headers.

Downloaded v142 build tools (C++ MFC) via Visual Studio Installer.
