tohny Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi everybody. I've just installed CnC Tiberian Sun using the installer on cncnet on my Windows 10 9926 build, but the game won't even start at all after the launcher. I can see game.exe sitting at high CPU usage like 50 percent or even more, but nothing happens. I've tried switching video options, tried different compatibility modes, but nothing works. Any ideas anyone? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We have not tested TS on windows 10 yet. You'll will have to wait some more time, the problem is probably about the same as windows8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a how-to or a tutorial to actually make it work? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll will have to wait some more time, the problem is probably about the same as windows8 So after chatting to funky over irc, apparently one has to delete wsock32.dll from the game folder for both Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 1 in order for them to work, but TS displays a white screen regardless of what video settings I choose, though I can hear the buttons clicking and the game actually working, but it's all white. At least this is some progress.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokite_Wolf Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Do note that Windows 10 is incomplete by definition. Whether TS will work on the final thing cannot be said at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tohny Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 What I have been able to find out though is that the error I get in TS after it starts (that I can sometimes see by randomly clicking around buttons while they are still white), is this: Westwood online support library is missing or invalid Apparently there are some game fixes here: http://www.thegameengine.org/tiberian-sun/westwood-online-support-library-is-missing-or-invalid/ But these seem to not apply to the cncnet installer. Any other ideas anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You probably just clicked on the play online button by accident and this was the result (has nothing to do with your problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohny Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well, apparently all I needed to do is disable windowed mode and select default draw and nothing else, and it works straight off the bat. In windowed mode it whines about 16 bit stuff. The problem now is that everything is sluggish in terms of scrolling while in game for example, and also, I cant access any other menus other than the first one, because nothing is shown otherwise. I can go back by hitting esc, and can click on new campaign and hit a blind enter and then it goes into the game. But other than that I cant do anything other than play in really slow motion and am not able to save or anything. Even hitting space while in the game freezes the game. Ive tried that windows 7 second screen thing, it doesn't help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohny Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 So apparently here's how to get TS working on Windows 10: download the official EA game from somewhere on the internet download funkyfr3sh's patch installer from http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=3438.0 and install go to game folder and delete wsocks32.dll and set your video settings to default draw and non-windowed mode! Everything should work then. I had a longer workaround, but am testing this method myself right now, but it should work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The problem now is that everything is sluggish in terms of scrolling while in game This is usually just because you use a resolution that's far too high. I advise not exceeding 1600x1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
