@Jikaikan@freon51319@moody2166@robertheighwayWhat is the exact error you're getting? Following these instructions to install DirectX 9 doesn't work?: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals#DirectX_8.1_error_.28Windows.29 (it was written for Generals, but should also work for this game) If that doesn't work, look if there is a file called "dbghelp.dll" in the CNC3 installation directory and delete it. Does any of this help you?
Edit: I read somewhere that running the game as administrator mode could fix this. Although that sounds very unlikely to me, could you please try that?

Removing dbghelp.dll did the trick. Thank you.
- mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace@freon51319 Really? Was this bug also in CNC3? I thought it was Generals-only?! Haha, I have almost no experience with CNC3... But happy to help.
