Of course I didn't buy TFD through origin, but on DVD, and the games work, especially after the unofficial patches. Thus, it's either their implementation on Origin or it's a PEBKAC issue.

Of course there's going to be issues when you take a 16 year old game and try to play it on modern hardware/software. Please see this thread for some additional tips...though it's unkown how much works with Origin: http://www.commandandconquer.com/for...ted-11-12-2011)

If you're running Windows 7 or Windows Vista you need to do the following for Tiberian Sun/FS and RA2/YR:

Navigate to the directories to which you installed the games and select the game exe files and you need to select "Run As Administrator" and select compatibility modes for Win98 or Win95.

RA1 and C&C:TD suffer from color palette issues related to Windows Vista and Windows 7 which produces odd colors and therefore may or may not work if at all.

Generals and Zero Hour have a hard time detecting hardware from newer systems and therefore may crash or not run at all if it cannot detect your system hardware properly. Workaround: http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/12319-...windows-7-x64/ This works for both Generals and Zero Hour.


I hope this helps you out.

We already fixed it. See the big sticky Common Problems thread.

EA messed it up, and their patches didn't make it much better, so the least they could do was stay off it while we fixed it properly. Which they did, and which we did

EA, thanks for giving us this incredible games. And Now please read i played Generals and Zero Hour with 16mb of video at a good speed, please fix several bugs in the First Decade like the problems with the conection in Yuri`s Revenge and the Extreme Speed in Generals in Windows 7.
Please correct our favorite collection of Videogames

Well I have done all the changes as listed above and now when I click on the RA2 Yuri's Revenge, it goes to a black screen, then back to the main menu. It was one of my favories games to play i.e last mission for Alli- BRAIN DEAD. I need to get OFFICAL UPDATES/PATCHES as well due to the change in my PC towers as well. (Main menu for Gen/Z hr is a "still" photo instead of the battle taking place. What's next? Please, nothing more fun than dropping a nuke & a thunderstorm on the enemy at the same time!
