Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun Main Menu screen not working

[Stripe6499]

C&C Tiberian Sun from the Ultimate Collection pack wont let me use the main menu. I click on any of the items and the menu freezes until I hit the Escape key. The other parts of the pack, C&C, Red Alert and RA2 work fine, just not Tiberian Sun.

@Stripe6499 Hey, are you running Tiberian Sun in any compatibility mode? If not, can you try Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode?

Thanks.

Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems, and, for the oldest two, add higher resolution support. For Red Alert 2 there's a more general patch that solves a lot of its graphics problems. You can find them here:

Command & Conquer 1:

• Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game)

Red Alert 1:

• Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer
• Nyerguds' main.mix cleanup for TFD/TUC (Not really needed, but cleans up about a gigabyte of unnecessary files in the RA1 folder. Unpack in the game folder, run "patch_main.bat", let it finish, and then delete the files you extracted.)

Tiberian Sun:

• Funkyfr3sh's Tiberian Sun patch

Red Alert 2:

• The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the "black screen" issue.
  Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and the game should work.
