Just wondering if there is any solution to slow save game load times? I bought the ultimate bundle and, more recently, the remastered collection, and I decide I wanted to play through the series again. Long story short, I finally got Tiberian Sun to load(patches, no-cd fix, etc, etc, etc) but I just thought it kept freezing at the mission loading screen! Finally, I just let it sit yesterday and lo and behold, it loaded! Now, unless I exit the mission or, TS entirely, missions load(and reload) fairly quickly. But if at any point I want to reload a save game, it takes forever! I've read that too many saves might be my problem but, seeing as it's a new install, and I have less than 10 saves that can't be it. Plus, even when I had just 1 save, the problem still existed. I've read that removing the no-CD fix and using discs(or images) fixes it but I don't know if I still have the discs anywhere. Lastly, I've done searches that just led me to posts that say there is no fix... I hope this isn't the case! 😞 Any help would be appreciated. I just hope that I don't have to go digging through my storage, looking for the original discs... My Laptop - WIn 10 Home, Intel Core i5-2430M, 4GB Ram, Lexar NS100 1TB SSD, Intel HD Graphics 3000

Well, I can't doing anything right now as I'm not at home for the weekend.

I've narrowed it down a bit more and finally finished the mission too! Just don't go in behind the trees marked in the shot and you won't trigger the crash. Although I know if I do go up there and then save, the game will crash. I'm not sure if your safe if you don't save after going up there. No luck with the colour bug though, I have all the latest drivers and the alt tabbing didn't do anything. Replayed the mission again but this time I sold my comm center... no crash!

Thanks for that tool! Here's a screen of the game frozen: This is the corner in question: I do not have to collect the crate for the game to freeze. I'm going to test something out but I believe the game only freezes with two triggers; you go into that corner and subsequently save the game. Just a hypothesis right now, I'll let you know in a bit. Here you can see the graphical errors I was talking about. They're also in the in-game shoots, just not as noticeable. The videos look pretty bad too. After a few tests it does seem to be that corner and saving that triggers the crash. Can anyone confirm that?

Well, as I've said in my latest play through I can now drive into that corner and pick up the crate but it always ends up freezing... eventually. Yes there is a comm center but you can't build anything in this mission. Repair whats left of the base and try to take out nod with what you have plus whatever troops you train. The other mission 8 seems to play with no problem but if this error happens once I'm sure it'll happen again. If I try loading the save game that froze upon saving all I see is a black screen, no sidebar, no mini-map but the music does start to play. I've also have graphical errors(from before the freezing error) in all videos, the main menu and most maps. It's mainly just pixels that are the wrong colours and doesn't affect game play but it's an error so I thought I'd share it. My first attempted screen shot only shows this. Well, I've been playing the map for a while and just haven't gone into that side of the map with a unit and no crashes so far. Although eventually I'll have to take out that base over there. :-(

I've tried all of that and I can't run XP mode because my CPU does not support virtualization. :-( Well, hopefully my DDR3 ram comes in today so that I can put in my new M4A78T-E, PII X2 550BE! Then I can run XP mode. Damn backorders! So far the other mission 8 (protect mobius) has no problems and the trigger for the crash has changed again! :-( Now it happens any time my cursor touches the left side of the screen/map. (Once it's fully scrolled over) Or when I try to save?!

I'm running TFD C&C95 1.06b r1 in Windows 7. I had no problems with the game until I got to mission 8 for the GDI. If I send any unit down into the bottom-left hand corner and then go up in behind the house's to collect a money crate the game freezes. I looked and I get the error: "The instruction at 004b4002 referenced memory at 00000000 The memory could not be read from Click on OK to terminate the application" Funny thing is I downloaded the map pack from here http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/ and if I load the map from it (Mission 8 EA) the game doesn't crash! I've tried looking everywhere for fixes but other than the compatibility mode and running in 256 colours, both of which did nothing, most other fixes apply to xp only. Edit: I was reading this post here http://www.cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=481.0 and thought I should try that as well but I have no options to change the acceleration of sound or video infact I have no options at all! Edit 2: Never mind, I don't know what happened but now it just freezes all the time. I'm going to try the other mission 8 and see what happens.
