just installing the game at the moment (and i must say i feel like christmas will be here by the time its done lol)

quick question...how well does this game run on peoples systems? how well can i expect it to run on an athlon64 3800/2gb ram/X850XT? (my system feels so old now :()

EDIT: also whats this "kane edition" all about? is there a non kane edition?

It will run fine :)

The Kane Edition is the Special Edition. Sadly the only advantage the UK version has over the standard edition is a few extra maps. The US version includes a tshirt, cup, map and hat!

I just had 393 mammoth tanks on a lan game ready to go own my mate.

As soon as I send them to move, computer just grinds to a halt and dies

:( Before I managed to get a screeny as well

can't get hold of the patch myself. I commented earlier on this thread that i wasn't having many probs. Ever since then its been non stop! especially the infamous game.dat bug :mad:
 
you get the t-shirt with the uk kane edition, they offered me one but I didn't take it. They where different to those pictured, they had large designs on them.

I always use to get this problem back in generals and zero hour when playin co-op with my bro, i think its a real shame that even after so many years, they still haven't managed to code it properly even with people running it on core 2 duos and 8800 gtx's

Ok fair enough the graphics are better compared to before but still nothing worth grinding these high end rigs to a halt for

Some places (real life stores!) were giving them away with the Kane Edition yes. Though most stores only had about 5 in total!

There were two tshirts given away with the standard edition from 2 etailers only. One had NOD the other GDI. They are the same as the ones in store. God knows why they chose to give them away with the standard version, but I am not complaining!

So generally even the Kane Edition does not come with a tshirt in the UK!

EDIT: This is the NOD one. Sorry for poor pic!

EDIT2: The text says

"It is your duty to lead the Brotherhood to glorious victory over the GDI imperialists and their army of infidels."

:cool:

Just found This on the C&C website stating if you are having problems downloading the patch get it from there. Thought it might help a few of you out

EDIT: Notes state that this patch sorts out the game.dat problems that have been occurring in the online lobbies :D :D (lets hope it works)

Has anyone with windows 2000 installed the official 1.3 patch and the Xenkan patch?

Just wanted to confirm it appears to work ok before I go and patch up to save the time of a reinstall !
 
Got my Kane edition from a certain online retailer on day of release...played four GDI missions on normal difficulty...just doing the one from the demo at the moment ;)

I'm playing the game on my 26" LCD TV and its awesome...very clear on native res and with all details maxed :)

TOP TIP (for those playing on HD Ready LCD TVs) my TV has only one PC resolution (1360 x 768) and by default the game only runs at 1024 x 768.

To get the game running at 1:1 pixel mapping you need to add a command to a new shortcut of the main exe file. See below link for full details

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932602&topic=34369471

Please bear in mind that the FMV sequences do appear pixellated if you do this (probably due to the compression or that fact it was shot in 720p and doesn't scale properly)

Seems you can't just open up the main RA2 equivalent file in notepad anymore and change it....

Just thought it might help :D
 
Only played the first 5 missions with the GDI but what i will say about C&C3 is unlike Generals this IS a Command & Conquer and because of that i couldn't be happier. :D
 
tbh i have them both and i prefer command and conquer. HOWEVER a lot of people will disagree. I think that for sure supreme commander has mroe too it, more possible units and structures, naval abilities, and is probably a ittle more advanced, but i just love c&C it's taking me back to my youth with red alert. The only thing i am a little dissapointed with is the lack of structres. It seems as if you can unlock every unit possible in skirmish far to quickly and i would have liked to see this being a bitter harder, or atleast take a bit longer.

P.S. both games graphically look awesome to me. supremem commander is a lot more demanding but i would say a lot nicer. The water on supreme comander is gorgeous but other than that i love c&c, especially for the explosions they rule :P
 
What's the performance like? I'm thinking of buying to run on my MacBook Pro through BootCamp (1.86 CoreDuo, 2Gb, ATI X1600).
