C&C: The first Decade crack search

[BarryB]

Thanks for the report Oli, hope they stay working The more people play deeper into the games the better.

I can atleast report that C&C works fine, even though it needs no crack it works... :P

Just found out a rather dissapointing thing in the former westwood forums...

That is how EA "fixed" XP support for the games...


And I am sad to report that in RA1 the movies does not play as supposed. When playing as Soviet it is the wrong movies
Found a fix for that though, not as good as you would want it to be but atleast it works.

About the "lag" issues I have in RA2, it is a problem that more people have and in case anyone else has it too it can be read about here:

It's all about money nowadays kosmiq, screw the punters out of as much of it as possible, and setting compatability mode for the earlier games and calling it 'recoded for XP' is an example of the contempt they must hold for their fans. Probably only took them a day to throw this compilation together too!

I just loaded RA1 and the first mission plays the correct movie for Soviets! After the first mission it shows an attack on the village and a teddy bear being dropped so I assume you mean further into the soviet missions the movies are wrong?

The thing I got with RA1 was when playing first time it decided to force me into a soviet campaign lol I didnt get a choice :P

Same happens with the original 2 CD version! I just blew the dust off the box and tried it, it must be part of the intro/story!

I think it is like you are forced to play as Soviet atleast the first mission.

About TFD pack and movies in RA1. Yes the first one seem to be correct but from what I've heard it gets to the wrong movies when the actual campaign starts. Haven't played as much as I wanted to yet.

The crack pack on Gamecopyworld is not ideal, you'd be better off making a full image if - that does work.

You are not forced to play as the soviets in Red Alert, you just abort the mission and then you can choose allies\soviets at proper options menu, its only like this when you first play it.

The crack pack WILL crash each and every game\cause serious anomalies at certain points, and because your using the old EXE files, is not XP compatable - it will work for some but not for others - its not just "if it launches then it works" - the updated xp bits were for crashes that would occur later on in the game.

No offense but your all barking up the wrong tree if you think this collection of cracks is gonna sort you out.

Not only that, but it will discourage real crackers from releasing a proper crack if you lot are all happy with this one.
