I figured since you probably need an old computer or a set-up VM to get these files, its probably worth having available/stored somewhere. A zipped file that contains C&C95 and Red Alert untouched installation folders: http://krock.online/files/WESTWOODOLD.zip Enjoy!

Agreed but If it comes down to that the devs might use a VM system instead of replacement dlls or modified exes: I suppose it wouldn't be easy to distribute though.

I don't think you understand ANewWorldRecord. Microsoft will always drop support for previous functions/API which leads to old games breaking. The devs around here usually fix those problems if they have the incentive: Obviously if its not fixed they lack the desire to do so. Maybe someone else will come along and fix it, but until then, I don't think the issue will go anywhere.

The guys around here are amazing, they might as well be wizards! I suppose none of em have a passion for RA2.

Thanks for contributing!

This whole community relies on the devs making the game work on modern machines/OS's, what seems to be the issue and why is that not happening?

Great! This is a start. X3m, the pay to win games sure are more effective at being addictive then the older games; totally agree there: I hope we can develop as a community if we talk about these things. Marsh, I can agree with that somewhat! Addiction is usually a complicated set of circumstances. Ignorance does exist!

I don't really know what to write here, but I am hoping that people will post their experiences with addiction and games, cncnet hosted games in particular; because thats just where we are.

Oh? Thats a shame.

As they said: Windows. Any cheap machine should be able to run these antique games.

XXxPrePxX, well I can't get anywhere without the community's support first. So this idea might go nowhere.

It may or it may not be, but its worth doing: Community growth includes assisting people not only in the fun parts, but in the confusing/complicated parts as well. If it was just a stickied thread, it might not be noticed. For such a topic we don't want people missing out on what help can be provided.

Well gaming addicting is a known condition, as well as other forms and expressions of addiction. After reading this thread I thought It would be a good idea if we faced that issue. A simple forum for people who are, have been and may be in that situation to share and find support among fellow gamers; nothing fancy.

I had lobbied for a new forum to cover the addictive nature of games in the spirit of collective/community assistance. If you would PM the admins/mods to add this to our community: That would be appreciated.

Marsh is right. Addiction is usually the sign of another problem you are running away from. I suggest some quiet time with your mind to see what you are dealing with.

Please play responsibly.

Ah, I feel like a fool! I should look up things a bit before I speak! Thanks funky.

That is true, but a GUI application that waits for input generally uses around 0%.

To be honest, funky probably needs to go over his logic. An application such as cncnet, despite the framework, shouldn't be using that much!

Works great on mobiles!

Well you seem to be aware of your own situation; That is a start. Don't push yourself too hard, just do things slowly over a good bit of time.

There is a meta culture that exists to provide these kind of maps with life. These kind of maps exist for every game. They present a more abstract experience than maps made by the original designers. That abstractness is what attracts people, its akin to modern art. I personally think they do little good service to a game other then to reveal the decline of the game itself, needing these kind of maps to keep it alive. C&C95 needs a boost of life and new blood instead of arguements.

The more the merrier! (as they say).

Well, technically "CnC" is about machining and manufacturing.... We got a little ahead of ourselves and dropped the &.

You don't remove cncnet, cncnet removes you.
