downloaded ultimate collection and the only files I can find are music no game

when I click launcher all I get is music files not the game "help"

  • @elohssaorp

    The Ultimate Collection is not one item in the list. All the games are added separately, and need to be installed and launched separately.

    Take a closer look at the item you launched. It is not "Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection". It is "Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection Additional Content "; the extras that come with the pack.

    I don't know why it opens the music folder, though. If you look at the directory above that in your file explorer, you'll see there's a bunch more additional content folders than just that music one.

    Side note...  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. 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 a multitude of graphics problems, including 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 try running the game again.
