Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath crash

I'm playing the campaign in Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath (from the Ultimate Collection). I've had no issues with C&C3 Tiberium Wars or C&C3 Kane's Wrath up until this point.

The level I'm playing crashes to Windows at the end. The level is The Betrayal of Killian Qatar. As soon as I get the unit to the evac point to end the mission, the game crashes.

Should I install patches?

How do I keep the saved games?

Any ideas?

  • Updating the video card drivers and adding a profile for the game in the video card menu solved the problem.

    Thanks EA!

    "Thanks EA!" Yeah, you're definitely not a shill../s. I've gotten no help from EA despite spending several hundred dollars with them.  I'll never give them another penny.

    @TXDoubleTap If you are having issues with a game then the best thing to do is create a thread detailing the issue you are having.

  • I have the same problem but my drivers are up to date and I have no option for making "profile" in graph menu.

    So any other fix?

    Which dedicated video card do you have? (like a NVidia 970) Are you sure you are running the game selecting your dedicated video card to run it? Are you using The Ultimate Collection or an old CD-version? Which Windows-OS are you running? Did you install any cracks, modifications or mods?

    Thanks for the info @darvla and sorry for the very later response; not that often online on this site: What I meant with the second question: make sure that you run the game with your 1080ti instead of your crappy Intel HDwhatever. You can do this by settings the preferred graphics card that Generals uses to your Nvidia graphics card; do this by going into the "Manage 3D settings" of the Nvidia Control Panel --> let it load all the programs --> select Generals.exe or click on add and point it to the executable yourself --> click apply --> try to start the game and see if that works. Exactly when do you get this crash btw? Is there any error message, when yes, can you provide us with a screenshot?

  • @mrtnptrs Exactly the same problem here. Playing with video card settings is a red herring - it's not that kind of crash. My solution was to download and install a complete Kane's Wrath campaign autosave (from TrainersCity). Using this, the mission played correctly.
  • @raines45 hey do you have any other ideas about why Kane's wrath keeps crashing and everything is up to date and can you please help please and ty
