How to check game difficulty in a save game file? I am half through the GDI missions, but I have a strong suspicion something is wrong with AI. Maybe I have started a game in a medium difficulty? I would like to check somehow just to be sure.

I'm using Windows 7. There is screen tearing in game and movies(at 800x600) after applying your patch and using default settings. I have managed to fix it by forcing refresh rate with this trick(DirectX Refresh Rate Override): http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Refresh_Rate_%28Hz%29 Apparently my game was running at 75hz vertical refresh rate(I've had same problem with other DirectDraw games, like Diablo 2 or Baldur's Gate, my monitor doesn't handle 75hz well). After forcing it to 60hz globally, I notice no tearing. Except in movies, there is a slight tearing in some parts, but much less pronounced than before. Also when game camera is moving in a scripted event(such as first GDI mission start), I can notice frame stuttering which stops after event is over. These problems are eliminated using TS-ddraw(which is also running game at 60hz without registry fix). I am going to use it in single-player for silky smooth visuals. Default settings(without TS-ddraw) have one advantage - game input is more responsive, especially scrolling, that's why I would recommend using it in multi-player.

Does this have a TS-ddraw option? I am planning to reinstall the game this week, on last install TS-ddraw and Ultimate Collection TS worked smooth with no screen tearing, except the ESC menu bug. If not, what kind of graphics patch does it have? Does it fix screen tearing on 60hz monitors?

Okay, here is an update: I copied only tsconfig.exe to my Origin TS installation folder. I selected ts-ddraw in settings and nothing else, and it automatically created ddraw.dll in installation folder. Menus, UI, movies and game all perfectly smooth like a marshmallow fluff, I've played several campaign missions already. I even had to turn down scroll speed to minimum, because camera movement was so fast! I ran the game at original 800x600 which I selected from game menu. I didn't use custom resolutions or patched executable to avoid problems.

I apologize if it is a wrong forum, but I figured it belongs here because I have question about multiple games. I have tested Tiberian Sun client, and I was happily surprised! TS-ddraw setting eliminated screen tearing in game and I was searching for solution for several years! I have never played Tiberian Sun campaign, because screen tearing was killing the enjoyment of the game, I though "hmm maybe one day some egghead will come up how to fix screen tearing". My questions are: I own Tiberian Sun on Origin(digital distribution from EA). Which files I have to copy from CnC.net version to Origin version of the game? I understand that the other way around(to have campaign in Cnc.net client) is not possible because CnC.net version is focused on multiplayer only and is very stripped down? What about Red Alert 1? Which files to copy from CnC.net version to Origin version to have extra graphic settings. Graphic settings is all I need, not the balance or AI fixes(I want vanilla experience when playing campaign, but higher resolution won't hurt). When I delete folder of CnC.net version of any game, it is the same as uninstall? No registry keys left behind? I'm asking this to prevent possible conflicts with retail version. Thank you for answering. Oh, and btw, will TS-ddraw work with Red Alert 2 and Yuri? I REALLY hate screen tearing :<
