ericthecleric05 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi all. When I try to run this game or C&C 3: Kane's Revenge on my newish computer, it doesn't work, but says a message like "Must have DirectX version 9 to run." Both games used to work on my (previous) Windows 10 computer (but now don't on that one, either.) Does anyone have any ideas that might help? I've tried verifying the files on Steam, but that didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericthecleric05 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi TR.Thanks for your reply! After posting here, I looked at the Steam Community threads for this game, and found a post saying the following:This helped me. Startoptions (Rightclick on C&C in SteamLibary - Properties - Startoption): -win . The game started in windowed mode...First start of the game creates a Profile under "C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Profiles... ". Here i found the Option.ini. i opened it with a Texteditor, searched for Resolution and set it the Same as my Screenresolution. Before 800 600 , now 1920 1080.Last step, startoptions again. Before -win now -win -fullscreen -xpos 0 -ypos 0 can be copied from here.Addition: with Mods Startoptionen: -ui -win -fullscreen -xpos 0 -ypos 0 Adding the -win part helped solve the problem. The screen is still small, but at least it works! :)I might try the other parts of the above post soon. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
