Like C&C3, needs a premade profile.

I've tried to get this working, but like Command & Conquer 3, this has a few hurdles:

  • CD protection (as per usual - see codeweaver policy)
  • Needs a premade profile folder from an already opened and started copy of the game. (no keyboard for that process)
    (see edit)

I unfortunately haven't access to a premade profile, so I can't test anything past the very first prompt in the game asking you for a profile name. The C&C3 profile folder (see Command & Conquer 3 forum) does not work for me either when transplanted into Kane's Wrath.

On the upside, at least if you have C&C3 installed on Crossover with the files that you need to download to get it working, you dont seem to need to download them again to Kane's Wrath folder, at least not that I've come across.

If anyone has a profile folder for this game that'd be great, since I can't get access to one (uninstalled some space-hogging virtual machine files and whatnot). If I eventually find one I'll post a link here (but several days of searching for it and I've only found save game files and not profile folders). Hope this helps anyone trying this out!

(Testing version 1.0 of the game)

EDIT:

Ayayayay! It's been so long since I originally went through all this for the C&C3 demo that I had forgotten the process!
Alas, I have gotten Kane's Wrath working.

I was putting the C&C3 profile in the actual game folder in Program Files, but this should have been placed in:
/Users/(Your Name)/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games (or whatever you are using)/Bottles/Windows XP (or bottle name)/drive_c/users/crossover/Application Data/Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath/

Simply copy over the profiles folder given on the Command & Conquer 3 forums into that, so it should be:
drive_c/users/crossover/Application Data/Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath/Profiles.

I recommend running the game without a profile folder once, quit it once it loads (apple-Q) since you can't do it yourself, and then the Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath folder will be created for you so you only need to place your Profile folder in there, in the event that the folder title is different for you due to localisation issues and whatnot.

I apologise for my silliness :)

Here's a link to the C&C3 fora here, you can find the profile folder download link there - for me it came up as "Profielen" (Dutch, so simply rename to "Profiles" for English):
