Is there a full setup guide?

[RetroPerspectiveGaming]

Hey there. cncnet's main page states "Easy installation, Download & Play" but I'm having trouble displaying at the correct resolution and/or getting into a match. Is there a guide out there with step by step instructions or troubleshooting? I don't really have time to scour the internet for various workarounds.  Just want to download and play! 

 

Thanks in advance!

I tried playing Tiberian Dawn but I have the First Decade so would like to be able to play them all ideally.

If you just like to play online on our server without the need to mess with patches:

http://downloads.cncnet.org/TiberianSun_Online_Installer.exe

 

If you like to patch your first decade, get these:

Tiberian Dawn: http://www.moddb.com/mods/command-conquer-unofficial-patch-106/downloads/cc95-v106c-revision-3-patch

Red Alert: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/

Tiberian Sun: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=3438.0

 

Tiberian Dawn patch doesn't have a game launcher, so you will have to go to the game folder and start up CCConfig.exe to change your resolution, all the other games have the config available via the desktop icon

 

All 3 mini online versions come with launcher+map editors+config, so it might be good to install those since they're easier to use and just work out of the box. Those versions can be installed even if you already have the games installed via first decade

The TD patch does offer to launch the config tool after completing the setup, though.
