Hi chaps,
When trying to start any game in C+C 4 I just get this. It is a fresh install on win8.

Has anybody got a fix?!

Much appreciated

install windows 7

That's not really an option...

justalex81 · 11 Nov 2012 at 18:06

compatibility mode?

NoNameNoNumber · 11 Nov 2012 at 18:08

ummmm... whats that?!

EA lol..

I remember when tiberium wars 2 or whatever it was game out and they had a 50+ page thread about the game crashing on the forums but EA never cared enough to investigate it ......

So the new game I've just bought is useless?!

Right click on the game icon, change compatibility in the little drop down box to Windows xp etc

On the mac so i can't screenshot where or how it looks mate.

Have you tried searching for a fix using Google? I know a few of the C+C games have compatibly issues with Windows 7, so will be the same for Windows 8.

JoeF1 · 11 Nov 2012 at 18:30

I don't get a compatibility tab :confused:

I am the administrator and have tried all of the advanced options...

Instead of trying it with the shortcut try it with the actual exe it is pointing too. Compatibility should solve the issues though!

JoeF1 · 11 Nov 2012 at 18:42

To do either of these, begin by navigating to the game's directory on your hard drive (most likely Computer>C:\>Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Command and Conquer Tiberian Twilight).

Once there, to launch the game, find the Command & Conquer Tiberian Twilight Application (be sure you've located the "Application" and not the "Icon" filetype) and simply double-click. This should run the game independtly from Steam. To attempt to run the game in Compatibility Mode, right click on your C&CTT Application and select either "Run in Compatibility Mode" or choose from the available compatibility options (depending on your operating system version).

Still no mention of compatibility mode... I didn't buy this through steam either-I've bought a hard copy from Game today...

BINNED IT PoS

You right clicked the folder not the C&C .exe file

NoNameNoNumber · 11 Nov 2012 at 19:16

I don't know what all this means!

Am I looking for .exe in the file type column?

Fanatic · 11 Nov 2012 at 19:18

You want to right click the CNC4 file which has the type Application. Then click properties, then you should have a Compatibility tab.
