Problem using cnc-ddraw

[FooAtari]

Hi, looking for some help.

 

I have been trying to use cnc-draw to run CnC95 in an unscaled window.

 

I have copied the ddraw.dll into the cnc folder and have the latest 1.06 patch.  As detailed on the sitehttp://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/#configuration, I have set the resolution to 1024x768 via ccsetup, set the correct hardware options and disabled all compatibility options.  But I the game will not run in windowed mode (yes it's enabled in ddraw.ini), it just runs in 1024 res at full screen.

 

I've changed various options and settings to no avail.  Thing is, I'm sure all was OK last time I played several weeks ago.  But can't think what might have changed since then to effect this...

 

Thanks

well, I found the solution. I just bought an oldschool 15" CRT monitor for 2$ and all problems have disappeared by themselves 

 

cool

but why not play at a bigger resolution?

The amount of map I can see at once is enormous and the sidebar is awesome.

etc.

hmm I really don't want to see enormous map. I wont to play in games like in old days, but bugfree and comfortable. I even love DOS c&c resolution, but in c&c95 better menu and sidebar and I wanna see difference between minigunner and grenadier

There are some peoples that loves to fell how the game was. I got Ultimate DooM in my laptop and I still run it in 320x200 at full screen

I used to play it at small (or normal for you guys) resolution

I could put up with it I guess but it was much harder because you just can't see enough.

I was only able to complete the game campaigns (probably also to my player improvement) once I had whacked up the resolution

Hello again. Well, another problem. I recently bought a laptop, and all works fine except annoyng fast-scroll bug even when using cnc-ddraw.

This happen only in c&c95.

open ddraw.ini and make sure MaxFps is set to 60

[Milkey Wilkey]

MaxFPS is 60. Scrolling fast as lightning even at 10 FPS

[FunkyFr3sh]

make sure the file ddraw.dll exists in your game directory

 

try to change the rendere to GDI too

[Milkey Wilkey]

 

ddraw.dll exists. GDI have the same problem.  when running with 1 core nothing changes. No one option takes effect on this

[FunkyFr3sh]

are you sure you have the scroll speed set to low in the game ?

[Milkey Wilkey]

extremly low.

[FunkyFr3sh]

k then i dunno lol

 

only option left is to use an cpu speed limiter
