Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Forum

I did everything that the instructions said to do to install the game. I load the game up and I see the screen saying command and conquer 3 tiberium wars. I stays there for 30 seconds then disapears. I open up the task manager when starting the game and in processes it shows cnc3.exe running then once the screen disapears the process disapears as well. I have command and conquer 3 Kane Edition and I got the files off my boot camp partition. In the registry file I entered my CD key in the format of xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx I'm not sure if that's the correct way to enter it or not. I had the map editor installed and I'm using version 1.05 (latest).

If memory serves me right you don't put the CD Key in the format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Check and see if you have all the right DLLs in the right locations that I mentioned in the instructions, by the sound of it your missing one. If they are not all in the System32 folder of the Crossover bottle then try placing them in there and restarting the bottle.

Ok I'm confused by the Microsoft.VC80.CRT.zip file I downloaded. My extractor (the unarchiver) extracts the file automatically to a file called Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Am I supposed to change that file into a .zip and place the contents into the C&C 3 game folder. Also to clear things up I'm supposed to place gdiplus.dll and d3x9_29.dll into system32?

Yes correct! The file has 3 extensions really you need to rename it and drop them all except .zip or else it does not extract properly. It took me a few days to realise this the first time, to play it safe if you drop all the DLLs including the ones you extract from that file into System32 Crossover should read them all automatically and the game should work.

Ok got it works I'm happy. Too bad a mac version is coming 😊

btw how do I window the game?

the only way to do it is to enable virtual desktop in Winecfg which is located under Manage Bottles.

Ok thanks for your help. The movies you said don't work but they run fine on mine, everything runs smooth except the cursors and scrolling around the map. The scrin laser fire doesn't render but I'll need to double check that. Honestly if codeweavers gave the time like they do to Valve's games this could run perfectly. Runs pretty damn well as it is. Little time and fixs would go a long way.

Hey there, I bought C&C3 tiberian sun and when I inserted it into my mac, and used the bottle winxp to install it, nothing happened. It just said Installing unsupported...rebooting...finished. Someone please help me!

'C&C 3 Tiberian Sun'? Tiberian Sun was the third game in the Command & Conquer series, but it was never referenced by number. There's another entry for it in this database.
