Menus Freezing

[LivesParkk]

Hey, after running CNC95 for a bit, it always starts to stutter, and from then on I am not able to see my mouse moving in any menus. I can still interact with them, but the menus just don't update and I can't see the mouse moving. I tried diasbling cnc DDraw but then I am unable to run the game. I tried adjusting compatibility settings for windows 98, 95, Xp, etc but i get an "Error: unable to set the video mode", without CNCDDraw on I get "Error, tried to reference memory at X but could not be read. Anyone got any suggestions? This is a Windows 10 PC.

As a secondary issue i am only able to run TiberianSun at 1920 x1080 without parts of the screen being cut off, but this is far too high a resolution and everythign is very small. I tried other 16X9 resolutions and parts of the screen are cut off. Anyone know how I can fix this?

How do you use ddrawcompat, do you replace the existing ddraw.dll in the folder?

Download the updated config programs, extract into your game folder and replace existing. Then open the config program and choose DDrawCompat from the list

Get the latest config tools for each game and try to use DDrawCompat first, if it works, stick to it. If not, try the other ones

Note: the Tiberian Sun one is new and was not released yet, so it might have some bugs

I've tried to use DDrawCompat for both Tibsun and TibDawn, they don't appear in the Config for either. However, I did put the new tibdawn launcher into the folder, and i haven't had a menu freeze up for the last hour.

 

EDIT: I've been using CCConfigFull and ddrawcompat wasn't wshowing up there, using CCConfig it appears, thanks.
