Upgrading Construction Yard

[Samadhi]

I just rebought the game last week and so far this forum has been great help getting Dune 2k to work on my XP box.

Not sure if this is an actual issue or if I'm just misremembering.  I'm playing the solo games and I don't seem to be able to upgrade my CY.  If I remember correctly I should be able to upgrade by the 4th or 5th mission.  But I don't see upgrade until I build a barracks, or light/heavy factory.  Then when I hit upgrade the CY is there but greyed out.  I've played up to the first mission where the High Tech factory is available to be built and I'm really sure it's available by then, but I could be wrong.

The upgrade option is available when I go to practice though.

Is this an issue or am I misremembering, and if it is an issue does anyone have a solution?

It should be. Dune 2000 has the one small square concrete slab, and the 2*2 slab (which you get when you upgrade CY). Unless I am thinking of Dune 2 (doubt it).

Do you have the latest patch for Dune 2000?

[Samadhi]

Yeah, 1.06.  I also run it in 95 compatibility mode.

I checked on practice and it starts with 2x2 then upgrades to 3x3.

If anyone has a cheat that allows instant upgrade for CY or something I'd love to get it.  I want to wade my way through the three vs computer scenarios and it just doesn't work if you can't build missle turrets.

Have you tried reinstalling it?

Although I'm not sure if you lose the savegames.

[Samadhi]

I've re-installed it twice, once running even the install program in Win95 compatibility mode.  Could it have something to do with my being unable to register it (since the WW server is down)?
