I have the same problem and need help.
Trying to run C&C Gold - not First Decade with patch but the full game installer provided by CNCNet for no avail.
The only thing I tinkered is the cnc-ddraw option:
- If I run the game with this option enabled, I receive the same (and annoying) memory error message from the first post of this discussion (vincevance07). Then I have to wait about 2 f***king minutes to regain control of my computer, for the game oddly freezes my entire PC, until a window with an error in the main executable of the game appears and the rest of the game crash for good, as always.
- If I try to disable it (cnc-ddraw), I get a black screen and every single key I hit it returns to the desktop, but the EXE is still running.
My sistem specs: Intel i7 3740, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX1070, Sound Blaster Z, Windows 10 Insider x54.
Need help with this issue: anyone knows what else I can do to? Thanks in advance.
