Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Forum

Crossover Games 7.2.2
MAC OSX 10.5.7

Put the cd in the drive en run the express install.
You will notice that the mouse is a bit laggy, but that will be fixed later.
After installation it should already run..
Now 2 important things: Go to manage bottles and via control panel to Winecfg.
Go to the graphic tab and make sure at the window settings the 2 options of managing and decoring the windows (dont know english word) are not checked!

Now you can start the game in great order. It will be sometimes laggy, so to fix this to perfect, follow this instruction:

Run 'wine regedit', browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine. If there is no key (the stuff with folder icons) called AppDefaults, then create it
Right-click on that key and create a new key game.exe
Create a new subkey Direct3D. In that key create two string variables:
DirectDrawRenderer with value opengl
RenderTargetLockMode with value readtex

exit the register and play the game with great performance improvements.

and it doesnt slow to a crawl when you move the mouse? does for me :(

Hi,

thanks for getting in touch.

the answer is yes and no, i'd missed the Direct3D subkey, and now its running MUCH better, but the mouse effect is stil bringing the game down, its just that now its slow rather than crawling ;)

hopefully the next release has a new wine version !

cheers

Hi,

Did you read the forums about the registerfix? thats the trick to run it wll, also you have to uncheck the 2 windowmanager options in the graphic tab of winecfg (you find this in manage bottles)
When questions i hear it gladly..

mmm, i have the feeling you still havent done the windowmanagement settings yet, because the have the tention to cause this problem. Now please do exactly what i say:
go to manage bottles, go to the battle where you installed the game. Now go to the controle panel tab, --> choose winecfg --> go to graphic tab, uncheck the 2 windowmanagement options: see screenshot below: (not seen here but i mailed it to richard)

After done this, exit crossover games and restart crossovergames,

Now run C&C, this should normaly do the job!

Hi, I tried this, and the game runs, but my screen stays all black. I did uncheck both of the window control options, but it still doesn't work quite right. Am I still doing something wrong? I'm running CXGames 8.13 on MBP 13".

Hi,

I would use the freely downloadable version instead -- see tips&tricks

Cheers!

Yup, and maybe you can install directx redist. download if it still doenst work. It may help.

I used the freely downloadable version in a WinXP CXG8.1.4 Bottle but when I set the mentioned registry value, the screen stays just black.

Hi,
There is a separate C4 page for the free version...see;

That won't answer your query, but it's where you should ask it ;)

Cheers!
