Solve : command and conquer the first decade? |
|
Answer» Hey everyone....i am having trouble with Command & Conquer the first decade (combines all the C&C games into one pack), in particular the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert. Every time I play either one of them, about 10 seconds into the games they lock up and I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the games. Have you tried running Command & Conqueror and/or Red Alert hey thanks for the reply! The game is automatically run under the Windows 95 compatibility mode....I changed it to 98, and it actually ran for a good 3 or 4 minutes but crashed. There is a file called CCSetup, when you open it, a window pops up with some options on it... screen resolution (640x400), (640x480), (1024x768) hardware options (with empty check boxes) Back Buffer in Video Memory, and Allow Hardware Filled Blits multiplayer compatibility (empty check box) Compatible with DOS version 1.07 and then some other things about connecting to a network for multiplayer i'm assuming....any of that make any SENSE?It really depends on the game you're playing... Does the game come with a readme.txt file? Or user manual? Those documents will reveal a lot about the game.. Trying different resolutions is definitely worth looking into.. You could also try disabling some non-microsoft services and/or third party programs that may be interfering with the game/s.. Do you konw how to do that? Also, when you updated your drivers, did you use the "update" option in Device Manager? Sometimes that's not a reliable way to find updates... Did you go to the Manufacturers website and find the latest driver for your video card? What's the make/model of your motherboard? Or what's the make/model of the computer? An update for your chipset driver may help..Tried Reducing Texture QualityQuote from: the_mad_joker on January 23, 2010, 06:49:28 AM Tried Reducing Texture Quality You obviously don't know what you're talking about. You suggest this in every thread that reports a game running sluggishly. Both of the games he is referring to are 2D games and don't have texture quality settings. Pay attention.All the games in C&C First Decade work fine for me (I have the game as well). Well, except the first one, that one has a few issues relating to the palette. The only requirement is I run the launcher, "TFDLauncher" with administrator rights; but that's a Vista/7 thing. My system is similar to yours, also- aside from a different OS, I also have a different sound card. (an X-Fi). This gives me another idea- Any "Special effects" enabled for the audio? like say 3d sound, or SRS effects of any sort? try disabling them.

From my experience I had a month ago my garaphics card was getting worn out and that was causing my problem which was the same as yours. I could play for about 1/2 hour then it progressively got worse, Might want to try runnig your direct x DIAGNOSTIC tool also you may need ttoo reinstall it I would start there b4 I would think about a graphics card.Quote from: paries669 on February 16, 2010, 07:54:46 AM First deacade does have textures There are games like RENEGADE that has its own configuration tool for it in there, which I play. Wow, excellent observation. except for: Quote .i am having trouble with Command & Conquer the first decade (combines all the C&C games into one pack), in particular the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert Those two do NOT have textures, and their graphics are relatively simple, and so could not "lock up" a graphics card like a newer game such as crysis or fallout 3 might to a aged card. I'd say the card was too New for the games, but I can play every game in the first decade perfectly fine aside from the very first one which runs but has palette issues. Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 16, 2010, 09:47:02 AM Right those two don't it has been a while since I played them, and their were all sorts of patches to download for them. There might be some to prevent crashing and with the first decade you have to know what folder to install or put them in for exampleC:\Programfiles\EA Games and whatever game your PATCHING. I say that because before the first decade came out it was C:\Westwood and some of the patches are old and might try to install there automatically, are you having problems with any other games?? |
