C&C ultimate collection games doesn't work

I just bought the C&C ultimate collection and tried 3 games. Non of them work.

The first one I tried was Generals - the error messege that popped is attached here.

The second and third are Tiberian sun and RA 2. Tiberian sun got stuck at the first screen (where you choose "New Campaign" etc). RA 2 got a black screen when the game launched and show only the mouse cruiser. Also RA 2 opening video made sound but showed only black screen.

I would appreciat it if anyone could help me solve this problem and make the games run.

Thanks in Advance,

Dolev

    A lot of the games have been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. You can find them here:

    Command & Conquer 1:

    Red Alert 1:

    Tiberian Sun:

    Red Alert 2:

    • 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. It should automatically take care of the "black screen" issue, and has a configuration tool that allows further tweaking of the game's settings.

    Generals:

    • GenTool seems to be the main patch for Generals these days. The website is kind of vague on what it does besides restoring multiplayer and adding anti-cheat, but I heard it does a lot to make it work better on modern OSes too.
    • If you have issues with DirectX errors popping up, find and delete the file "dbghelp.dll" in the game's install folder.

    Renegade:

  • does that patch for Tiberian Sun change anything else, or just fix the technical issue? It's only the technical issue that I want fixed

    @ZoeMalDoran All of these are designed to just fix the games. They're patches, not mods.

    The C&C95 one re-enables some previously unused beta features, like specific score and map screen music for Nod, and it adds those console-exclusive mission, but as far as I know, none of the other patches contain anything more than just the fixes.

  • HEY GUY

    EA APP IS LITERAL DOG * and they dont want to, know how to, or will want to fix it. I have the solution for generals zero hour.

    Download GENPATCHER with the following link:

    https://legi.cc/downloads/genpatcher/

    and run it untill it tells you that genpatcher has fixed the issue.

    If done correctly there should be a generals icon and generals zero hour icon. Apparently they made generals into one game without taking account dlc such *.

    I hope it works for you guy
