Command & Conquer: Renegade Forum

I've done something slightly illegal, I know this.
It took a long time, but I've downloaded the First Decade.
I'm sadden by the fact that I've had to make up a code for the main screen, however I have used my own Renegade serial.

Damned capitalistic world.

I had some problems using my own original version of Renegade, so I'm going to try this version, and see if there is any difference.

Alright, so as it stands, there is NO difference between using the original game and First Decade.
For now I'm going to remove this slightly-illegal software form my computer and reinstall Renegade.

My computer's specifications:

24" Aluminium iMac
Leopard (10.5.8)
2.8 Ghz Extreme Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
ATI 2600 HD, 256 MB
Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse.

Under both installations (winxp) I experienced keyboard problems.
They are the only reason this game isn't getting a Gold medal from me.

Essentially, the Enter key doesn't work when chatting. The mouse however, becomes unlocked, and you can hit the send button.

The backspace also doesn't work.

I don't think it's a problem with Renegade or Crossover failing to properly map the key; I can use them normally if I assign them a function in Renegade's 'Controls'. Rather, I think it's something to do with focusing on the right area as a whole when dealing with Crossover's method and how Renegade wants things done.

Also, this problem is evident in any purchase console, where one cannot navigate the interface using the assigned numbers.

All this severely hampers a player. And for an online game, it makes it quite hard to play.

I'm now going to install Renegade onto a win2000 bottle, and see if this changes things.

Well, using win2000 has the same problems.
(Though the font was better, so I've copied those files over from the win2000 bottle.(

In fact, I found that using win2000 + the original CDs and The First Decade raised another problem:

When you first enter a game your mouse doesn't control the player, it is floating on it's own.

Hitting Esc made it work, though.

Right, another thing to note:

Using Command + W to close the emulated desktop doesn't work.
Normally it closes all applications, but while playing Renegade, it does.

Also, I realise this thread repeats much of what was said in the previous thread, and that I was told to e-mail info@codeweavers.com. And I will, once I gain enough information; or if this problem is solved, I will post up a tip/trick.

Could you please in stead of spamming with everytime a new thread "edit" your post or find out things first before make a thread (5 times), this makes the forum messy, and makes my mailbox full ;) wont you agree? If every post was all information which made the game work better, than it would be a different matter. But it is very good, you testing very well.

Have you read the sticky note? i posted there a reply ony youre post wich may help you. I mention there that its hard to make the original cd game work, but the " first decade" version works witout problems right out the box (because of the intergrated newest patch).
