I just updated to the new version and the game crashes whenever I launch it with error 005e56dc

The game crashes cause it can't find/load TEMPERAT.PAL from the looks of it.

Which means that your game got broken during the update for some reason. Download again.

Did a fresh install this time with a different mirror, still gives me the same error, and it is saying there is an update for 1.16, but then when I update it, it says there are no new updates and rolls it back to 1.11

[FunkyFr3sh]

do you run/install it as admin ? what about your antivirus programs ? if it cant find the TEMPERAT.PAL then it prolyl doesnt have the permission to create it

[mralexs]

I ran it as an admin, should I check if the folder is read-only?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yes, make sure it has full access

The temperat.pal is found in the local.mix that is packed in the REDALERT.mix. If he has the REDALERT.mix then he has the temperat.pal and something else has gone haywire...

[FunkyFr3sh]

he is using ra1installer, it is using the original mix files and the game tries to generate the TEMPERAT.PAL and fails

 

that also explains why it shows version 1.11 for him, the launcher doesnt have the needed access to read the file that contains the update information

[Allen508]

The game generates TEMP_VTX.PAL, SNOW_VTX.PAL and INTR_VTX.PAL. The temperat.pal snow and interior.pal have always been in the local.mix.

[FunkyFr3sh]

ah right, i forgo the names but arent those the same files ?

[Allen508]

Nope.

 

XCC Mixer can read C&C .pal and JASC (paintshop) .pal but the *NAME*_VTX.PAL are unknow to XCC Mixer and I have no idea what they do...

They're the remap tables for the Chrono Vortex, the game checks if the file exists if it doesn't generates them. I suggest placing the files in REDALERT.MIX to lower startup times.
