Command and Conquer 3

[Kozmos]

Yeah, I know that you have a good strategy Cleric, but I still prefer the raw power with Mammoth Tanks and Zone Troopers. They can turn the tide of a battle (And against the Scrin, they're good! The only awesome thing the Scrin has is the Devastator Warship! Now they're good in mass numbers and with shields! Carriers mixed in are lethal to aircraft and they can create Ion Storms to bolster even more defences)

Scrin are now IMO the weakest faction until really late game. If they do manage to do that, you'll have to fight off a hard enemy. The Scrin Victory Fleet. PACs + Devastator Warships which are all shielded.

Yes, but sadly, the fleet wouldn't be a match for a massive bombardment with Firehawks or lots of AA, much like a Kirov Fleet. Powerful en masse, but still isn't a match for a massive AA defence... right?
I hate the Scrin Infantry. The buzzers suck in buildings and you're rather better off with Storm Columns and using the Mothership and Devastators and POCs for victory.

GDI, build a massive army of Mammoths and Zone Troopers...
NOD... uhh in one of my games with easy opponents, I found nothing fun to build en masse and go wild. The Avatar is good, but I got around to building 3 and giving em all upgrades, then I got bored. With GDI, I could build Mammoths and Firehawks and then go nuts... Avatars... no, boring

That's why I prefer GDI and the Scrin. They got some nice late-game fun stuff to use

Thanks Heretic Cata. I'll try it out.

 

[Esckey]

Wait GDI has two endings? I couldn't get the other ending, they always treat me like I used the damn bomb

 

[Stylesrj]

Try restarting the level and not use the damned bomb? Worth a try.

Use Shockwave Artillery, follow it up with an Ion Cannon and a Firehawk raid and an Orca bombing and if does not work, wait for another artillery. Two Shockwave Artilleries and an Ion Cannon attack destroy the control node I think, perhaps an Orca bombing. Nod is taken out with 5 Mammoth Tanks and Firehawk bombings on important structures like the building facilities and power

The save works fine but the game crashes after the mission is finished (so I can't go on to the next mission )

There must be something with the gdi movie files then. Look in the folder:
Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars\Movies\1.0\
Is the MoviesG.big file there ? It should have aprox 1.302 MB.

 

[Tee Kay]

The file is there, 1333423 KB

 

[Heretic_Cata]

And does the config.txt have exactly this in it ?

add-big Movies.big
add-big MoviesN.big
add-big MoviesG.big

 

[Tee Kay]

Yep.

10 char

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Well in that case i'm out of ideas.

Here's the error signature. It might help:

AppName: cnc3game.dat
AppVer: 1.4.2620.25554
ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.363
Offset: 00014604

I see you installed the patch. This is gonna sound strange but did the gdi camp work before the patch ?
That reffers to the file cnc3game.dat from the \RetailExe\1.4\ folder.

ModName: msvcr80.dll
ModVer: 8.0.50727.363
Offset: 00014604

This is a dll that is supposed to be somewhere in your computer. I've found it but it was in a place.

I can send them both. But first you have to tell me if you have this folder:
c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.363_x-ww_691a48fd\
Kuz that's where the dll with that exact version has to be.

GDI campaign doesn't work before I patch it either. (In fact, i patched the game in the first place in hope that it will work).

Now that you mentioned it I don't see cnc3game.dat in that folder.

Yes I see it.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
Yay, but PM. Wait a sec for it ...

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Right, but since that file was added in the patch wouldn't it make sense for it to work before the patch ?
Anyway, cross your fingers.

 

[Tee Kay]

No good...

Still crashes.

And sorry actually the cnc3game.dat WAS there I only noticed it when I was going to replace the file. I'm sorry.

But it can't be the exact same error, can it ?

 

[Tee Kay]

Let me check

Err yes it's the exact same error.

 

[Tee Kay]

Replaced the dll file the same error message comes up.



Oh well...
