Re: Patch: Command & Conquer Gold to version 1.06c revision 3 -not possible to insta

@8XTC64

C&C95 isn't Red Alert 1, it's Command & Conquer 1. You're trying to install a patch for the wrong game. There's a different patch for Red Alert 1.

Here's an overview of all the community patches and fixes for the 2D C&C games:

Command & Conquer 1:

Red Alert 1:

Tiberian Sun:

Red Alert 2:

  • The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve a multitude of graphics problems, including the "black screen" issue.
    Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and try running the game again.
  • If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet online play installer for RA2/YR. Even if you're not interested in online play, it comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick.

    Hi Nyerguds,

    Thank you for your help!!! It was fast, clear and very good. The game is running fine.

    Thank you also for the detailed info and all the links. Now even I seem to understand it.

    I hope I was able to give you a credit. I also wanted to give you more than just 1, but either its not possible or I did not manage to do so. (in that case soory I would have given you 10)

    In any case,

    Thanks a LOT !!

    You can do that by clicking the button on that post to accept the answer as solution 🙂

    But, yeah, for the record: "Command & Conquer Gold", "Command & Conquer Windows 95 Edition" and "C&C95" all refer to the Windows version of the original first Command & Conquer game (which was originally created for DOS, before Windows 95 even existed, hence the distinction. The original game is from august 1995, but the Win95 version was released almost two years later). The game is additionally known as "Tiberian Dawn".

    It's a lot handier for people who find this thread later if the post you mark as solution is actually the one with the solution in it, though... 😕

    Next time I will know better how to react properly.

    Anyway it seems now not possible anymore for me to mark your correct posting as a solution.

    Again thank you for your help

    Is there a way I can uninstall C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch?

    All I wanted was to prevent the top-of-map bug, but it changed the whole design of the game as well what makes it difficult for me to play it now. I got the Ultimate collection from Origin and play it on Windows 10.

    Thanks.
