C&C3 version 1.09 doesn't like me. Please Help!

It's a well-known fact that the multiplayer balancing patches completely ruined the campaign, yes. Just the build radius nerfs make some missions completely impossible because they were designed for situations where you can build next to any building. I'm still not sure what they were expecting when they gave the game cheap early multiple building build queues anyway; it's asking for base crawling tactics. There's a reason C&C1's MCV is the end of the tech tree and costs about twice the money needed for the superweapons -_-

As for your problem, however, I believe the latest game version actually contains all of the earlier game exes as well. I sincerely hope this is true for the Origin version as well.

This topic seems to have more information:

Seems it's done through command line parameters:

---

 you can run any version of TW using -runver1.0 until -runver1.09.

---

If you use the Origin version you will need Bibber's fixed game launchers to do this, though.

I've seen that page before, one of the many that I've seen. Origin has a command line thing of sorts, not the same as the target location, but it says you can add them by going into your origin Game library and right clicking on the game, and hitting game properties.... however being as TW and Kanes wrath are grouped together it may be affecting it's ability to be a fix, I have not tried the Bibber's Fixed Game Launcher though, as I don't want to do anything to * off the allmighty Origin and have them make my game not work anymore, however if they are okay with people getting in there and Tinkering I'd be open to trying that. I tried the -runver 1.07, but I didn't think to take the space out in between maybe that may have some luck?

Okay so the Bibber fix didn't fix, so I guess origin has thought their way around that, it just gives an error message and says it has to close, do you want to check online for solution... then just ends. So any other ideas?? I tried entering -runver1.07 and it was just like... no

Can you check in the files of the game on your disk whether you find multiple folders for different versions, each with a rather large .dat file inside? I believe that's the true executable.

If you only find a folder for v1.09, then yeah, I guess the Origin version is severely crippled in that aspect :-\

I thought I had one that was like 6gigs but it dissapeared.... so they must have some pretty severe protection to keep the user from messing with anything.

Nonsense. In the Origin client, go to Origin -> Application Settings. In the settings, click "Advanced" You will see a line saying "Your games will be installed to the following location:"

Select the path in the box under that and copy it, and paste it in the address bar of your file explorer (winkey+E), and press enter, and you should see the folders of your installed games under it.

Right. I installed it.

Looks like the game exes are in

Origin Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\RetailExe\

AND it seems that the Origin version is indeed lacking all versions except 1.0 and 1.09.

So my advice is, play on 1.0 instead?

I've tried from 1.0, 1.01, 1.02.... etc. yes my folder does have 1.0 and 1.09, and none in between, but when I tried any including 1.0.... it gave the message version not recognized please be sure to patch to newest version(possibly paraphrasing at this point)

at any rate, I'm a little burnt by it. I've been trying to find a working walkthrough for it. None are up to date

As far as the -runver, I've tried it in the origin box and in the desktop shortcut icon, going to try it in the one in the folder.

okay the one in the folder as I said Origin is trying to keep anyone out, I had entered it in and it changed and then it created a new folder one with -runver 1.0 at the end and another that was named as the original was, but that only had the launcher icon in it. and now it won't launch at all. it comes up and delivers an error message. So I tried to go in and run a repair, and that seemed frozen so now I'm having it do a update. This is aggravating to no end

I have a cnc3game DAT file in there but I don't think it's an executable?
