You make it sound cheaters are not guilty of their misdeeds and/or they do not do it voluntarily. They do it either to get a win they didn't deserve or to annoy their opponent(s). Neither is in ANY WAY tolerable on ANY SERVER that cares for its reputation, regardless of the game in question. This buddy-buddy neoliberal bullshit you advocate will not work. Sure, you need to patch every hole you encounter that may allow cheats from the server- and client-side, no doubt about that, but you also have to ban everyone who is not there to have fun, but to destroy other people's sense of entertainment in these games. If you disable one cheat, they will search for another and/or be absolute douchebags on the server until/if they no longer find it fun for them. They are not constructive members of the community and they WILL NEVER BE. EVER!! Giving them amnesty like you did with that cunt Shortbus only deepens the hole the server and its belonging community are in more with each one you give. If it narrows the player count, so fucking what. At least the remaining ones will be relatively normal people and will enjoy what is left of this forsaken community.

Also coming from a background where banning players for cheating is the right thing to do, I say you have 0 idea on what you're talking about. You ban cheaters, you create a normal environment for everyone to play and enjoy. It's how it is. ^This!

Patch the game with this: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=3438.0 Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 98 and as administrator.

Did you patch it with Funky's patch and tamper with enough settings? http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=3438.0 Compatibility mode for Windows 98 and running as administrator may help as well.

That's a waste. The "physical" box of TUC only has an Origin download code.

Changes, pls?

ASIDE the fact that we shouldn't still be talking about this because someone leaked the info on the ladder without permission... Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath (for sure, don't know about Red Alert 3) give losers a small number of points if they lose one or two matches. I think if they lose more than that, 0 points are awarded until the next victory. Nothing new here, just a glorified version of the TW/KW mechanism

Basic Googling / site navigation skills aren't your thing, eh? YR is already supported. http://cncnet.org/yuris-revenge RA2 is coming this summer, as stated here: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=4060

Get these and disable Origin for all TUC games. http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/ TUC is so badly coded it tends to prevent connections with non-TUC users. I thought this was supposed to be common knowledge by now...

That's probably due to your Internet connection.

Did you even enable the virtual machine to go to the Internet? Do you have a NAT option available in the network settings?

Directly copied it from my Tiberian Dawn installation. The palettes are correct now, it just needs a bit of work with transparent ingame menu background and a few tweaks. At least all is properly visible now, thanks.

Okay, so I managed to install Sole Survivor using WinPack, extracted all other files from the ISO to the Sole Survivor directory to be on the safe side. Patches 1.02 - 1.05 work on 64-bit systems, thank God. The game runs in compatibility mode for Windows 98, but even though I've disabled visual themes and desktop composition, many palettes are read incorrectly, leading to a very ugly visual appearance.

Are you insane? Of course mods should be banned from ladders. Everyone needs to have the same conditions when playing, otherwise everything is invalid. Dear God, I hope not.

I'm part of the TS community, and the TS community is generally standoffish, and doesn't really socialise with players from the other C&C games, probably because they all believe themselves to be more highly skilled gamers!!!!!!!!!!! That's why I tend to confine my messages to the TS section, and sometimes forget and post something out of context!!!!!!!!!! And considering you seem to be intent on picking flaws in my actions, I'm starting to wonder if maybe my TS brethren have a point!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

Looks like someone needs a growing up course.

Yes, it means it's closed. BTW, cut your exclamation mark and emoticon spam.

One of the more pointless ideas of CnCNet...

You have no right to come to a public wiki and post bullshit like that. The account got a 1 month ban from EVA Database as well. Also, trash talk that involves public defamation of other people isn't tolerated on online services. It's not Nazism, it's proper moderation. If you don't like it, take a hike.

Patch TFD to 1.03 (will also remove the need for the DVD) - http://www.cncnz.com/hosted-projects/command-patch/the-first-decade-unofficial-patch/ Run RA2 and YR in compatibility mode for Win98 and as administrator.

Mostly no. Not even 20% of the Westwood staff is there. And I believe Klepacki is the only well-known name remaining there - Sperry, Isgreen, Stojsavljevic and Castle have long moved on.

E: nvm

You can get the inferior official release by EA (ripped from The First Decade, requires installation exactly to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun and running tibsun_regadd.reg inside of it) from here: http://www.cncnz.com/features/freeware-classic-command-conquer-games/ So, if you want quality, keep downloading the CnC-Comm release

RA1 from CnCNet and subsidiary sites is safe. Remove AVG. You'll be better off without an antivirus than with that crap.

Played the RA1 demo about 16 years ago. Didn't... "obtain"... a full version until about 8-9 years ago :laugh:
