Is your hardware compatable with the game? Video Drivers up to date and DirectX?

... and have you tried playing the game without a crack?

my hardware is compatible with the game (ranned bioshock no probs) about the video updates im gona make sure they are all updated the direct x are updated to the latest.

this is another error i get : http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...300/error2.jpg

This time it doesnt mention direct 3d...

I updated my drives and the game loads but it quickly goes back to the errors n shuts down the game =\

"ranned"? omg

well maybe he's not native english.... true 'ranned' doesnt exist in english...
then again, you're from denver (supposedly), so i could start on americanisms... but i wont...(hope i made the point)....

I presume JJ is from Florida?
I guess you've already started on the Americans Tipp? lol

Its a problem with the .dat file thats causing this.

Reinstall the game, make sure your PC meets requirements for the game to be run (i.e. amount of RAM etc) and also if using a crack make sure you place them in the correct place as stated in the accompying .nfo file (which can be read with notepad/wordpad)

:eek: I used to bash Americans (jokingly) until Joe gave me a bollocking :D Don't think I'll join in with this one if you don't mind!

I reinstalled the game 3 times already made sure i put the crack (.Dat file) in the right place and my pc should totally be able to run this game i have 1 gig of ram so its ok for this game and i mean i played bioshock, battlefield 2142 no probs so i dont think is much of a pc problem more of the crack messing up. Isnt there a .exe crack out for this yet? i went to game copy world and all there is are crack fix patches....

The cnc3game.dat is the file that runs the game so that's the one you replace with the crack, no EXE file needs cracking!

Did you update the game manually or update via the auto updater? I think you need the 1.07 patch installed before the 1.08, either that or something is corrupt! Check yer HD for errors.

i downloaded the 1.8 official patch and from there i installed it. Ill try installing the 1.7 patch 1st n than the 1.8 hopefully it changes something :(
thanks for the help.

edit: The game loads than crashes after 10 mins of gameplay also sayin c&Cgame.dat error

I'm just visiting Denver from Africa :)

guys, wait some days and play with the orig. DVD...

i'll be sure: There will be a no cd patch very soon!

Yup, requests get deleted (along with "you're supposed to request that yet" answers to them so don't bother). Watch forum rule #6!

Edit: OK



And JJ from what your telling me and from experience is that you need to get a new Video Card. I use to have this problem but yeah get a new video card and it should fix the problem. :cool:
