Fev! Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 So after the official download of TS didn't work I found the Tiberium Sun Installation Pack (http://www.cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?PHPSESSID=4c853118f4941951502583d69c138f7e&action=downloads;sa=view;down=41). This looked awesome and it all seemed to go well until I tried to run the game; it asks for a CD :/ I'm running it on windows 7 64 bit, any help would be brilliant.
Tore Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Asks for a CD? It shouldn't ask for a CD at all! it works without the Tiberian Sun CD for every PC I've tried. (Vista, XP, 7 both 32 and 64 bit) By the way the games name is Tiberian Sun
Fev! Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Gah, I've been making that mistake since the game came out XD
Tore Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Have you tried putting a disk in your drive? Some C&C games require CD to be be inside the drive, but this doesn't have to be a C&C CD.
Fev! Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Just tried it with a CD, didn't work. Looks like I might have to go to my mum's house to find the old CD.
pichorra Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Just tried it with a CD, didn't work. Looks like I might have to go to my mum's house to find the old CD. This TS will only accept the "The First Decade" version of TS. The standalone one (like i have too) will not work. If you will seek for your old TS disk, you will need the install the game from disc, patch with v2.03, Install the UDP Patch OR the CnCNet and play!
Tore Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Fev! you didn't install any patches or anything after you installed TS though the installation pack right? The official patches might replace the NoCD executable with the original one. pichorra, it shouldn't care what CD is inserted, it's a NoCD executable!
Fev! Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah I was going to do a clean install if I was going to get the disk but I'm not going to be able to get a hold of it for weeks at least, thanks for those patch links though Nope, no patches. I removed all the files from the failed official download before downloading the installation pack, then I just used the pack and tried to load up TS.
Nyerguds Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 That's EA's own no-dvd exe, isn't it? If that one doesn't work, mine might... http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/tfd_ts_nodvd.rar Replace the game.exe with the one in this pack, put the included fix_tfd_ts_vids program in your game folder, and run it once. See the included readme for more details. (Of course, it's always advised to move or rename the original game.exe instead of overwriting it, so you can always revert)
Fev! Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 "Failed to initialize, please reinstall" I'm just going to find the old CD and patch when I get a chance I think. Thank you for the help though guys
Nyerguds Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Ehh... are you running the game as adminstrator? Because, you know, you should...
Tore Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Does game.exe have Windows 98/Me compatibility mode and is ran as administrator?
