The Covert Operations was released in 1996, a year earlier than the Windows port C&C95 in 1997. So were you ever able to play the expansion in SVGA on Windows, or was it only playable on DOS in 320x200?

Yes, you were right! 🎉 Using INSTALL.EXE (the DOS installer from The Covert Operations) via DOSBox (within Wine) simply copied 4 relevant files LOCAL.MIX, SC-000.MIX, SC-001.MIX, SPEECH.MIX from the expansion CD into my game folder. Running C&C95.EXE now shows a new menu item for the expansion missions. Thank you very much for your help!

Aha! Thank you very much for your response. That sounds great So I guess that means if I can get the (DOS) installer from my The Covert Operations CD to install into my existing (Windows) game folder in Wine, C&C95 will show the expansion? I will have to try that...

After finishing SCG04EA, I do get two arrows on the following mission select screen, but no matter where I click, it's always SCG05EA which starts next. I can't seem to get SCG05EB to start. Is there a trick to it? Thanks :)

👍 Gotcha, thanks

Hmm... not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I have the CD version which seemingly only contains DOS binaries. (Which don't run with Wine, which is what I'm using to run my C&C95.) It's been a long time... and I don't remember what I did back then on my actual Windows 95 PC. I feel like I did play the expansion in SVGA, too. But then I found this: From: https://cncnz.com/games/command-conquer/covert-operations/ So you're saying the DOS binaries (if I can get them to run) will run in SVGA?

Thanks for the reply But it is just a known bug, yes? It's not an Easter egg or something where I have to do something specific for this mission to start

Found something: From https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/3294-lets-play-command-amp-conquer-all-maps-all-missions/page/3/#comment-31185 Sooo... it's a bug? Any way to load missions without messing with the files?
