Cannot start missions nor skirmish, stuck in loading screen

Cannot start missions nor skirmish, stuck in loading screen and never launches to play

I bought C&C Remastered from Steam, installed successfully with no issues. I was able to launch C&C Remastered and Red Alert Remastered.

Starting video played. Main menu items are selectable, I can start 'mission', I can start skirmish, and all other menu items.

In starting a new campaign mission, the intro video starts and play to the end then the transition loading screen shows up, but never leaves. I waited 30 minutes with no change to the screen I see and never able to play.

In starting skirmish games, I am able to select AI players and maps in the skirmish lobby. But when I start the skirmish mission, the skirmish lobby menu screen never ends and game never launches. I can't play any game mode. See screenshot attached of the lobby menu that never disappears. It's stuck there and never finishes loading.

I updated my graphics driver to latest version. I'd really like to play these games. Please help!

My machine specs are as follows:

model: HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 15-br1xx

Processor: Intel Core i7-8550U @ 1.80GhZ

system type: 64-bit operating system

Edition: Windows 10 Home

Version: 1903

OS Build: 18362.836

RAM: 8 GB

Graphics: Hybrid AMD Radeon 530 / Intel UHD Graphics 620

Shared Graphics mem: 4 GB

  • Go to the game settings on steam > local files > verify integrity of game files. Saw this on Reddit

  • This worked in Steam!

    To be safe, I uninstalled the game and re-installed. I also did Verify Integrity of Game Files. Steam found 3, fixed 1, and still have 2 outstanding.

    Even with 2 files that are problematic, the game is running fine so far. I can play skirmish now.

    Thanks so much!

  • Had the same problem and checking file integrity worked just fine!
