FunkyFr3sh Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Are you sure this is a error in the launcher? Or is a error shown by the game after the launcher started it just fine? Screenshow would be nice! Other people had problems too, my suggestions: Re-Install the game to a clean folder (do not use the same folder again)Do not apply any other custom patch until you have tested everything with the clean installDo not apply any compatibility settingsTry to use the Reset button in the config program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyFr3sh Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The error message he describes looks like a game error when the failure.txt file contains no text. Anyways, can you update your installer to clean up the game folder and also remove the compatibility settings for dune2000.dat/.exe ? Registry cleanup looks like this in my red alert inno setup installer: [Registry]Root: HKCU; Subkey: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers; ValueName: {app}\ra95.exe; Flags: deletevalueRoot: HKLM; Subkey: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers; ValueName: {app}\ra95.exe; Flags: deletevalueRoot: HKCU64; Subkey: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers; ValueName: {app}\ra95.exe; Flags: deletevalue; Check: IsWin64Root: HKLM64; Subkey: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers; ValueName: {app}\ra95.exe; Flags: deletevalue; Check: IsWin64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmaay Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks, following your instructions has allowed me to get into the game however, units movements are jerky and slow. Is there a setting that I should change to cure that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 try to rename dune2000.exe to dune2000-test.exe and delete dune2000.ini, then start dune2000-test.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
