Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun Main Menu screen not working

C&C Tiberian Sun from the Ultimate Collection pack wont let me use the main menu. I click on any of the items and the menu freezes until I hit the Escape key. The other parts of the pack, C&C, Red Alert and RA2 work fine, just not Tiberian Sun.

    @Stripe6499 Hey, are you running Tiberian Sun in any compatibility mode? If not, can you try Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode?

    Thanks.

    Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems, and, for the oldest two, add higher resolution support. For Red Alert 2 there's a more general patch that solves a lot of its graphics problems. You can find them here:

    Command & Conquer 1:

    Red Alert 1:

    Tiberian Sun:

    Red Alert 2:

    • The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the "black screen" issue.
      Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and the game should work.
