C&C Tiberian Dawn Running with weird colors

[indyK1ng 0]

Sorry if this is a topic already covered on this forum, I only did a quick search and found nothing. I'm running the 1.06b No-CD game install on Windows 7 64-bit and have had a slight issue. The game runs fine, but the videos, menus, and to a much lesser extent, the gameplay, all have weird artifacts, usually purple or green, which are the same every time. I was wondering how to fix this since it's bugging me. I've tried running it with 256 color compatibility, XP mode, and a large number of other compatibility modes and I can't figure out how to fix this issue. I know there was something I did a year and a half ago that fixed it with the First Decade version, but I can't figure out what it is. Thanks for the help.

There's a number of workarounds for that, and one actual fix which basically puts it in a kind of "directX compatibility mode".

 

That actual fix can be found in the Common Problems thread on the EA TFD boards:

look for "scrambled colours".
