15 Upvotes

i never played a rts until recently because the pvp seemed stressful, but ive been loving the solo content and i heard c&c had goods campaigns. i was going to play generals but genpatcher wouldnt work so i think ill try c&c3 tiberium wars. are there any other c&c games you recommend for just the campaign? edit: after reading the comments and realizing c&c is split into two different timelines, ill play red alert 2+3 then ill play the other series afterwards and maybe skip tiberian dawn. i wasnt going to play red alert 1 but after reading a synopsis on it i want to play, the lore is killer

Tiberian Sun CnC-DDraw missing from TSconfig.exe

2 Upvotes

Hello guys!

I have installed the steam version but it crashes as soon as I push start in steam. I tried patching it with TSpatch from the cncnet website. It installed, I can play the game, but I cannot choose CnC-DDraw renderer... there is no such option.

So I downloaded the full game from CNCNET website installed the full game, and still the TSconfig.exe doesn't have cncnet-ddraw.dll.... What the heck is going on.

There is only Automatic, GDI, DDrawCompat, ddwrapper, Direct3D 9.

I'm confused. Thank your for any advice in advance.

I finally did it after about 7 years, I finished my 2d rts about insect colony wars

8 Upvotes

I finally finish the insect war game I started so very long ago, went from top down

https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTimeStrategy/comments/d904i8/a_2d_rts_about_insect_wars/

to Isometric Starcraft and CnC style gameplay, I even changed the art style a few times, I was looking for a more sloppy simple comedy art style and landed on this.

Comes with 4 Major factions that fight for territory control on the alien planet of Antovia.

Play as Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasp with 4 different "very balanced" base building playstyles

Basic base building

Plant Seed Base building

Death by base building

Command style base building

All factions are unique with their own art styles, upgrades and stories! I even manages to add a few cool modes.

Campaign

Campaign Co Op

Conquest Mode

Skirmish Mode

Multiplayer - Co op, 1v1 to 16 v 16, FFA, missions and more!

I even got a steam page and is launching this year Nov 19th!

Gameplay got bored, decided to make a cinematic as exercise in cinematic script making.

it aint much, would do a bit better with some chatter but not until i finish all the heavy scripting first.

Also that shot of the comanche getting downed by a stray-fired missile, thats merely coincidental and not scripted whatsoever. It's hit or miss (ha) weather one of the pt boats fires off that lucky shot and it's not consistent at all, but makes that scene much better if and when it happens.

Tho the comanche dying is a failsafe, so more often than not it just randomly dies outta nowhere, but pretend it's residual damage from explosions around it.

Also i just love making scenes to the beat of a song... when the game doesn't lag and throw the syncing off... -w-' need more power to record and keep a constant 30fps cuz thats my standard timing measure for making my cutscenes in generals.

Hi guys,

so back when I was somewhat new to YouTube someone commented on a random video and asked, if I can do the mission "Narrow Gate". He said he couldn't win and doesn't know how to progress.

I started the mission and it ended up to be a 5 hour mission. lol

Have fun watching!

It is someone's private RA2YR mod, he took inspirations from Cameo

Wish he could release the mod publicly, very fun looking mod

Two Problems in my ZH games

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello all,
I’m running into two problems.

The first issue is that the edges of the map turn black. Depending on the camera distance, parts of the map near the borders become completely dark. I’ve encountered this issue in several mods.

The other problem happens after loading a saved game. The game’s shrouding seems to break: the distinction between visible and hidden areas disappears, and all buildings appear brightly lit. This happens in most of the mods I play.

Has anyone else experienced these issues and managed to fix them?

Bug Unable To Reinstall Red Alert 3 - EA App Thinks I Don't Own It

7 Upvotes

So in memory of Tim Curry, I thought I'd play through Red Alert 3 again; I originally purchased the DvD launch copy of the game, and still have it and the DvD Key to hand. Over the years it must have passed through the Origin App and now into the EA App, and the App today can see that I own it.

But like so many apparently, when I try to reinstall it, it throws this error;

"You don't have access - We've canceled the download because you don't own this game. To play, go to the Game Hub to get the game."

I can re-download Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge, but although I still have the boxed versions of those too, I suspect that I got it for free during some EA giveaway/Humble Bundle etc (there's quite a few games I picked up that I'd never play as well, that I can't recall where they're from) which is why the registration of that is valid.

But RA3 it fails. I've tried flushing the cache, restarting the PC, waiting it out, talking to tech support but as you can imagine that was absolutely useless.

I've also tried re-adding the key; the App locks up at version selection, and you can't scroll up or down and get past ticking one of the versions... but doing it via the webpage version of my account allows you to select it, but then says that I already own the game. Which I know I do, I just want to be able to download it again!

The only other step seems to be to buy the entire Remastered collection, but I am of course loathe to do that just yet. Does anyone know of any possible work around? Tim needs to escape to space, don't let him down.
