View Full Version : C&C: the first decade
Well its been out for a while, but EA has finally released patch 1.02. This basically makes all the original C&C's work on XP. Its great! I forgot just how good Red Alert etc really is and how it stacks up against the current competition :)
I have them all anyway so never bothered with this, but you're right, superb games and a benchmark of the RTS genre for me. Red Alert 2 is probably my favourite little saga in the series, Yuri's revenge included.
The Aftermath expansion for RA1 was also excellent, great units and missions :)

Oooh you sound like a gamer :D :p

Decent strategy games, but they were no command and conquer games I can assure you ;)
EP = Expansion Pack :)

EP = Expansion Pack :)You're right. People say the Generals games were not good, when what they should in fact have said is they weren't C&C.
Will this mean C&C will stop crashing on my machine and work properly? :D
oh wow, so now the original C&C will work on XP?
It was my first ever game for my home PC, got me hooked on games from then on :D cant wait to have another blast at it later!
Yep they have updated the original c&c and red alert to run with xp :)
They are both consuming my time in the evenings. At this rate i'm even going to have to fire up diablo2 + expansion.
Gameplay >>>>>>> gfx

Wait a second, 1.02 has been out since last April... unless I'm missing something here. Where did you get this Zirax?
I just reinstalled it and was having so much fun playing them again that I thought I would post. Last time i played it was patch 1.01

Damn it 1.02 didn't fix my C&C at all :(
You really had me hoping...
never hope for an EA patch to actually fix problems...biggest mistake i ever made...curse their coding monkeys - they killed BF2 for so many of us.
Did the original C&C and red alert not come with this pack originally? cant remember but im sure all the games worked?

They don't for me. RA2 and Tiberian Sun both crash after a small amount of play for an unknown reason. Only link I can find is they both use similar game engines, but I don't have a clue what part of my PC is to blame :/
RA1 works fine. Renegade is fine. Generals and Zero Hour are fine.
C&C crashes on certain missions if certain things happen, which has made one or two of the missions simply impossible to accomplish, so that game is out :(
Been playing about on c&c with the covert ops ep ;D
Sooooo silly and I had forgotten about the "news" clips and "briefing" vids ;D
