Re: Original Command and Conquer freezing during game play
@JP_GtiR Uh, where did you read anything like that? It works fine in Windows 10.
The only thing that does not work on modern OSes is installing the game from its original CDs, since most PCs nowadays have 64-bit Windows operating systems, and the installers on the CDs are 16-bit programs, which 64-bit Windows refuses to run. This problem is the reason I made the full installer pack.
where at any point during game play, the game freezes and i get an error tone when i click the mouse.
This actually means the game has given an error message box, but you probably can't see it because your monitor switched to 640x480 resolution to run the game. Pressing [Esc] as you did simply closes the message box and the crashed game. [Enter] probably works too.
Note, if you press [ctrl]+[c] at that point before closing it, you will copy the contents of the invisible text box to the clipboard, and then you can paste them in notepad later. I can actually look up the numbers on such errors and see what they mean.
Note that the 1.06 patch fixes two quite common and completely fatal game crashes, namely the top-of-map reconnaissance crash and the stealth animation crash. So if the crashes you got before were possibly in one of the situations shown in these images, the 1.06 patch will most certainly fix those.
