  1. Just got the free upgrade to Windows 10 and when i tried to see how this game would run on the new OS most of the games wont work anymore. the games i had trouble with are the original game and Tiberian Sun plus Firestorm, Renegade, and Generals plus Zero Hour. when i try to run the original it just gets an error and will crash. i tried adjusting the settings like running as administator, running in compatibility for Windows 8 and it looks like the game will run but then it asks for me to insert a C&C disk to play. i never did that on my Windows 7. for Tiberian Sun and Firestorm it would go to the menu but freeze when i try to select a menu option like new game, options and so forth. after doing the same things i did to C&C it asks me to insert a disk to play. Renegade seems to run. i can hear sound and even use the controls but the issue is the screen is 100% blank, just black. Generals and Zero Hour both require disks to play. idk if anyone knows a way to fix these issues or if there are patches being made for this new OS.
  2. I actually got it. I applied the patch and some compatibility settings to all YR executibles and it works just fine now. seems the problems are from that patch for the full collection on Windows 10.
  3. Ok, after a full uninstall and reinstall of The First Decade I tried something different and didnt apply TFD Unofficial patch. doing so I applied quick fixes to Red Alert to play the Soviet movies using a RA Launcher, got Tiberian Sun and Firestorm to work using an installer and patcher, got Renegade to work by installing a patch, and installed a patch to Red Alert 2 to fix a black screen issue. The unofficial patch may have done more harm than good in my case. The ONLY game that wont work is Yuri's Revenge now. I click on it to load and it looks like it will start but after a few seconds it just goes back to the desktop with no error message. I tried compatibility settings but nothing seems to work. any ideas?
  4. Back again. After a bad bit of advice from a Microsoft technician on fixing an issue with my desktop I had to reinstall every single game I had. I followed all directions on here to patch The First Decade and got most of the games running fine. The games still giving me trouble are Firestorm, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. Firestorm loads and goes to the menu and I am able to start a campaign but it just goes straight to the load screen and says "unable to read scenario!". for RA2 I applied multiple patches and got rid of the black screen issue but as it gets to the main menu it freezes. no options load, cant move the mouse but the music still plays. for YR when i try to start the game I get an error saying the application cant start correctly with the code 0xc0000142. for Firestorm's issue I looked everywhere but no one seems to know how to fix it.
  5. I decided to download the movie files for Tiberian Sun and Firestorm from this link: https://forums.cncnet.org/index.php?topic=1898.0 I tried the game after putting both files into my Tiberian Sun folder and Tiberian Sun was able to play its cutsenes fine. but when I tried Firestorm I got an error saying Unable to read scenario!
  6. I managed to get Generals and Zero Hour to run but Tiberian Sun still wont play cutscenes same with Firestorm. I had been using that patch for them already.
  7. Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, and Red Alert 2 have been patched already and work perfectly. and I have run the compatibility settings for Generals and Zero hour but nothing works. I'll try the .ini files in each but idk if that will work. my desktop should support the resolution. It can even put out in 4k. I'll try the Tiberian Sun patch see if that works.
  8. ok, I know this thread I made is old but after the issues I have been having with this game I decided to do a complete reinstall and patching of the game. after following some old directions on this thread Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Renegade, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge work perfectly. Tiberian Sun and Firestorm after the patch for those games do work but the cutscenes in both games wont play. and Generals and Zero Hour no longer ask for a CD but show an error message saying "You have encountered a serious error. Serious errors can be caused by many things including viruses, overheated hardware and hardware that does not meet the minimum specifications for the game. Please visit the forums at www.generals.ea.com for suggested course of action or consult your manual for Technical Support contact information." so after redoing everything from the ground up where do I go from here to fix these issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.
  9. I just installed The First Decade onto my new gaming desktop with Windows 10 and while half the games work fine with no patching the Generals games wont start at all. I just get an error saying the game cant run possibly due to a virus, overheating or the hardware not up to snuff to handle the games. but my desktop is the highest end model out there or at least one of them and I just got it. running compatibility has the games ask for a CD be put in the drive so I added the NO CD patch but I get the error messages again. not sure what to do to fix this at this point.

    Error running Generals and Zero Hour

    I tried that. I get the needs a CD in the drive message even though I do have it and I am using the No CD patch.
  11. I just got a new gaming desktop with Windows 10 and installed The First Decade. Half the games work just fine with no patching including Red Alert 2. Yuri's Revenge loads and plays but the game slows down when I actually try to play the game when too many units get on screen. I tried running compatibility for various versions of Windows but it only makes the problems worse. also trying to adjust the games resolution in the options menu makes the game have a weird color issue followed by freezing. patching also doesnt seem to work at least with the patches I tried to use.

    Slowdown on Yuri's Revenge

    Black Screen

    I just recently got a new high end gaming desktop with Windows 10 and installed The First Decade onto it. Most of the games work fine without any patching but Renegade has a problem of playing the sounds and interacting with the game but just a black screen showing. Any idea on how to fix this? I did try running it in compatibility mode for Windows 98, XP and 7 but those didnt work.

    Error running Generals and Zero Hour

    Slowdown on Yuri's Revenge

    The First Decade patch actually makes things worse for most of the other games now. like Tiberian Dawn having a very small screen for the cutscenes and sometimes not responding to commands.
  19. ok ive been having tons of issues with my laptop in general after downloading Windows 10. and all these new issues appear to be messing up the games in The First Decade all over again. at this point ill probably just wait until Microsoft fixes all that crap and see if that helps. or wait until i get a high end gaming desktop.
  20. ok the Yuri's Revenge campaigns work just fine now! but the Firestorm campaigns wont run. whenever i try to run a new game and it goes to the mission load screen for either faction it just says "Unable to read scenario!" and crashes back to the Firestorm menu. everything else works just fine though. and the vanilla Tiberian Sun campaigns work perfectly too. anyone know how to fix this?
  21. ok this time it works perfectly thank you! now....uhh any idea how to fix the Firestorm campaigns?
  22. ok i did try the fix for Yuri's Revenge but it didnt seem to work. plus the patch was removed as a threat from my computer. it still freezes for both campaigns. and another issue i overlooked is for Firestorm. i am still able to use the menu, and run skirmish maps. but when i try to play the campaigns it goes to load the games but then it just says Unable to read scenario! any ways to fix these? and thanks for all the help so far.
  23. Thanks most of these patches helped along with some extra tweaking. but i am still having trouble with just one game. Yuri's Revenge will load up and let me start a game and i will be able to play for a bit but after about a minute the game freezes and wont recover. i have no choice but to restart my laptop all the way.
