Re: C&C Tiberian Sun and T.S. Firestorm not running

Thanks pcobb23, that was really useful.

Note for others who have tried these steps without success, I had to use compatibility mode Windows XP (Service Pack 3) in order to get the game to work.

I imagine others may also need to try checking different compatibility modes in order to get the game to work.

pcobb23's steps (above) plus WinXP SP3 compat. mode worked for me.

Cheers.

thanks... That helped me ALOT!!!!.... it **bleep** works now :D

Thank you so much! I've been trying to get this thing to work for hours - it's working perfectly now (on windows 8, 64 bit computer)!

This worked for me bro, thanks soo much i searched relentless hours for fixes for all my older C&C games. this was the last one to get working on my Ultimate Collection and now its great!! =D Cheers Perfect Fix for Me Windows 8.1

Thanks you so much, I just copied them files in and it now works great

thanks this fixed fixed the problems in the main menu.

Will this work for Windows 10 as well?

This worked for me on Windows 10, as well.

I am very grateful for the advice, no need to worry about getting an old PC... I simply followed your advice and ...IT WORKS.  Now all of the games in the Ultimate Collection work ... thanks for your tips.

Like most of you, I have a Windows 10, 64 bit and experienced problems with TS and TSF ... I followed the advice and now I am a very happy camper with all games in the Ultimate collection now working.

I found THE fix!!!!!  I am running windows 8.1 but this will work for 8 and maybe even 7 as well..

There are 2 parts to this fix.  Most people have already done part 1, but just to be sure follow these instructions completely...

First set the compatability of the game: 

Open File Explorer   (You can do this easily by right clicking the little window or Start on the bottom left of your screen and selecting File Explorer)

Click Windows_OS :C (C Drive)

Open Program Files (x86)

Open Origin Games Folder (not Origin)

Open Command & Conquer Tiberium Sun Folder (keep this window open for step two)

Scroll down until you find the Game (File Type Application)

Highlight game by single clicking on it, then right click to bring up the pop-up menu

Select Properties at the bottom of the pop-up menu

Select the Compatability tab in the Game Properties window

Check the box "Run this program in compatabilty mode for:"

Select Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Also check the box below that says "Reduce Color Mode"

Then set the color mode to 16-bit color

Also check the box "Run this program as an admistrator"

Apply Settings and Then Click Okay

Half way there......

Next Download this file and then open the folder.  I promise there is no malware or anything negative, just a few simple files.  (Copy and paste if below link doesn't work)

http://tore.cnc-comm.com/TS_Win8fix.zip

Click to save the file and once it downloads open the folder, you should see the file Win8fix, open this and follow remaining instructions

Once again Open File Explorer   

Click Windows_OS :C (C Drive)

Open Program Files (x86)

Open Origin Games Folder (not Origin)

Open Command & Conquer Tiberium Sun Folder

Now Simply drag the files from the download folder into the open Tiberium Sun Folder and launch the program as normal!!!!!!!!!!

I Hope this works for everyone as well as it did for me!!!!!!

*(Note: You may need to select a different compatabilty mode than Win XP Service pack 2)
