Command $ Conquer Ultimate Collection how to make them work???

★★ Novice

I've purchaced an Ultimate collection. Only half of games running normally (starting from Generals). C&C-Gold adn Red Alert 1 just showing black screen, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and Renegade don't show launch menu. I've handled with first games< but what should I do with Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and Renegade. OC is Window 7 x 64.

Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their compatibility problems. You can find them here:

For Red Alert 2, there are a few things you can do to help it to run better:

  • Make sure to disable Origin In Game overlay in the Origin settings for the game. In fact, this is advisable for all the games.
  • Tweaking certain compatibility modes can help a lot
  • Install Bibber's fixed game launchers
  • Some people have reported this tutorial fixing issues with the menus not appearing
  • This is another excellent video tutorial. I strongly advice watching this one; it cover a very wide array of problems in the game's settings, the user rights, and even Windows system settings that may cause problems.
  • This small pack originally cobbled together for helping Tiberian Sun run on Win8 was confirmed by someone to possibly work on RA2 as well.

 

For the rest, I suggest you check out the sticky Common  Problems thread at the top of the forum; they contain a treasure of information on other things that can help you get the games running.

I will not help with game questions sent as private messages; those questions belong on the boards where everyone can see my answers.
