Does anybody have issues running C&C tiberian sun and red alert 2?

Not sure what's wrong. I bought the c&c collection and only have issues with those two games. They will run but very glitchy, basically like they are lagging during gameplay. Could relly use the help thanks

    Wrong collection... you posted this in the Remaster forum. Neither of these games are remastered. I moved your post.

    I know those games tend to lag a lot if you set their resolution too high, since that results in too many objects on the screen, so it's not a good idea to play them at your native res. But besides that, I dunno.

    Note, 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.
