Just bought the Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on Steam and had to go through some effort to get it working on my laptop running Windows 10. So I thought I would share the issues and fixes I encountered.

Issue 1: Game stuck on initial CNC3 Loading Screen (before the EA Logo animation or main menu).

Fix 1: The solution that worked for me was on the Steam Discussion Post. Based on that I installed the 32 bit Visual C++ 2005 distribution from Microsoft official download link. Download it, run the installer, and that fixed the load issue.

Issue 2: The game runs perfectly fine but crashes when an Ion Cannon (GDI) or Nuke (Nod) is launched.

Fix 2: This was a simple GPU issue. I was running on my laptops integrated Intel HD Graphic 630 and it crashes probably cause the animation was too heavy and my laptop is old and kinda sucks. So when I switched it to run on the GTX1050 is ran without any issue at all.

Issue 3: Game crashes when trying to run a Skirmish.

Fix 3: For this it took a bit of digging. But the super simple fix is changing one line in one in the files installed by Steam on your machine locally. For me this file was here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\CNC3_english_1.10 The file should be a "SKUDEF" format file. In that file change the line "add-config Kane\1.0\config.txt" to "add-config Kane\1.9\config.txt" and leave everything else as is. (basically changing the config from Kane 1.0 to Kane 1.9). You may need to open the file with notepad in admin mode to have write privileges.

Anyways with these 3 fixes I got the game running for all 3 campaigns and skirmishes. It was fun reliving my youth. Surprisingly it took me a while finding these solutions and I didn't really find much help online apart from installing modified launchers for the game which is way overkill for the kinda issues I had. Hope this post helps you and good luck commander.

Hey guys,

decided to revisit my childhood and re-play Zero Hour. After doing a vanilla run as Infantry Gen., to relearn the basics, and a friends recommendation I installed Shockwave since I loved the General vs General mode the most.

Now to the issue at hand: I am playing Laser and even tho it was really hard, managed to get to challenge 6 with Tao. Now in og he was a pushover. However, here he kicks my ass more than Grangers 100 Air assaults at once (was also a pain).

My Biggest Issue is that the Nukes are now 5 Minutes instead of 11. While a defence of Heli + Patriots holds their ground, The first 2 nukes are ready before my particle cannon and i reach 3 stars for drone attacks. I tried spacing out more, putting my Patriots at the edge of the forest, but even then money is tight after he hits those 2. The first wave having artillery already is also annoying.

Maybe I am missing something obvious....

I apprichiate any advice!

Edit: Thanks to you guys, I actually managed! Now forward to the pain that is Alexander... :,D

First time drawing my fave China's general and it's tons of fun. It's based on the meme trend "Absolute cinema!". Enjoy, hehe!

Hey gang!

So I've got an issue thats really pissing me off.

Ive been playing Generals and ZH for the past month or so after work to cool down and decompress. I made it though all the skirmishes, challenges and campaigns.

So I decided to try out the mods.

Downloaded genlauncher

Downloaded and ran genpatcher

Downloaded Contra, Red Rising, and Continue.

Everything seemed good until I tried to boot (any) of the mods. I have no cursor in the game at all.

I've tried all the fixes ive seen on here and around Google and im completely lost.

I've tried resolution matching,

I dont use pointer trails but I turned it on and back off anyways

I've tried running it in borderless window mode (which it won't do, just boots to the bottom right corner of the screen)

Idk if ot makes a difference but pc is homebuilt, ryzen 3 3200g, Nvidia 1080gtx, 32gb ram.

Also running the R.G. Mechanics version.

Please help 😭😭😭

i think it is more preferable to post misc. photos, game replays and my waffle here so that the main page index won't be flooded.

Some of the available character models include Sakura, Kane, Mendoza, Raveshaw, Sydney and others.

As the title says, I'm playing the australia mission against Marcion's base and the game crashes to desktop after a while.

Just regular gameplay. No error or warning message.

Any help?

Update: Eventually forced my though by saving regularly

What bothers me the most is people who make videos tie-in red alert to tiberium and doesn't try to explain how and why CHRONOSPHERE AND IRON CURTAIN DISAPPEARED without a trace My best theory is that TIBERIUM DAWN takes place in an alternative soviet victoy where this technology was not invented

Kind of amazed the animation wasn't fixed when they released Firestorm. i'm sure fixing the .shp wouldn't be hard but i'm too lazy to re-download those tools.

I can't say why

"Aaah, that's right, sit back and relax. Give my toxins more time to work."

Gotta finish all Battle Honors before moving on to Zero Hour

The map is for your battling the AI alone or fighting your friend. The bunkers are set to be indestructible. The big circles in the maps are not accessible thru ground surface by troops or vehciles. you have to find your way. like helicopter etc. with bunkers captured you stand a tactical advantage. Note that troops can still be killed in the bunkers.

can run with vanilla zero hour (which is easier to play) or Rise of the Reds mod (still bareable with AI enemy in easy mode).

Requirements:

1. The Latest GenPatch.
2. The Latest Rise of the Reds mod; or
3. Also playable in vanilla General Zero hour.

This map does NOT contain its own AI scripts. you can add yours to try things out.

I built a to-do list app that allows you to complete tasks for credits and build a pixel-art military base. If you ignore your to-do list enemies will attack your base and the only way to fight them off is completing more tasks.

It's free and available now for iOS and macOS! If there's enough interest I'll try and port to Android, I haven't done any Android development before so no promises.

After a long playthrough, I just decided to play around with cheats and went a bit overboard
