Little help

[RobTheHun]

I just finished downloading the TSinstaller12, and went through the rest of the downloand and I am now trying to start the game but it is telling me to insert the correct CD and restart, sorry for the rookie questions but i'm sure there will be a few more

This is how I got my game to work on windows 8 (hopefully it will work for you):

1) Download this and extract the files to your Tiberian Sun folder http://www.commandandconquer.com/forums/index.php/topic/26975-running-tiberian-sun-on-windows-8/

2) Press right click on the game or any shortcut, press properties and then go to compatibility (at the top).

3) Check run as administrator and try the game.

4) If the game doesn't work or crashes (which is most likely to happen) run the program in compatibility mode for windows XP service pack 3 (in properties and compatibility as well).

5) Run the game again if it still doesn't work (which I doubt) press reduced colour mode and change it to 16-bit (in properties and compatibility as well).

 

I really hope the game works for you, good luck .

Sorry I should have said that I have windows 7, i currently have it running under windows 98/me but i have also tried it under Windows xp service pack 3 and i have it checked to run as administrator.

Did you download the game from this website? Try to uninstall and install it again maybe it works.

This was the link I used http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times

The No CD in TS installer 1.2 is a bit buggy (it's EA's one btw) if you feel like doing some beta testing try this new version: http://tore29.com/tsins/TSinstaller3-beta8r3.exe . If you keep crashing try messing around with the renderer setting under options in the launcher.

 

Once I'm done with University for this semester I'll look into that TS installer and hopefully get it in to some sort of releasable state.

[RobTheHun]

ok thanks for the advice I'll give the beta a shot.

[Nyerguds]

So Tore... why don't you update it in the downloads, then?

[Tore]

Because the new TS installer isn't done, I don't think it is in a proper releasable state.

[RobTheHun]

Well I have tried a few different things with your beta and this is the message i keep receiving. " One or more DLL files were missing or damaged. Please reinstall"

[Tore]

game.exe needs to be run as administrator so it can register the blowfish DLL file. The next beta will solve this issue permanently.

[FunkyFr3sh]

or, try this:

 

http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/TiberianSunDllFix.exe

[Nyerguds]

FunkyFr3sh: if that removes the dll dependency, it'll crash the game unless you got a TS with 100% unencrypted mix files.

[FunkyFr3sh]

no it doesnt do that, it adds 1 registry key to bypass the dll registration

[RobTheHun]

It's working fine now thank you very much Tore this takes me back to when i was a kid XD.

 

 

*edit: ts campaign for gdi seems to work fine, but the nod campaign i receive a message stating "Unable to read scenario"  This is also the problem for ts:f except that neither the gdi or nod campaign works any suggestions?
