    Just a quick FYI, whilst a lot of the developers that worked at Petroglyph were developers that previously worked at Westwood, this is not as true now as it was back in 2003 when Petroglyph was formed. 

    People move on to new jobs and now there aren't as many ex-Westwood developers left at Petroglyph as some people would leave you to believe.

    Stay informed guys. :) 

    I suppose that is true. A lot of time has passed since the termination of Westwood, the foundation of Petrogyph, and where things are now in current year. Anything could have happened from then till now. A lot of people do move on.

    ^ That, let Petroglyph Develop it and EA can then Publish it *Get's flashbacks to the early 2000's* , oh wait...

    And don't fix what's not broken as others already said.

    Let Petroglyph develop it and EA publish it? NO! We can make a good guess where that will ultimately end up. Instead, Let Petroglyph develop AND publish it. Just remove EA from the picture completely.

    Oh well, the thought of Petroglyph being involved is only a pipe dream. It will never happen.

  2. There are some things I have to say about this. On one hand, there are a few things that bother me. 1) EA (aka Electronic Arts) was the publishing company responsible for watering down the franchise into something mainstream (e.g. Tiberium Twilight and Tiberium Alliances) and thus butchering this beloved franchise to DEATH for the sake of the lowest common denominator. 2) A Command and Conquer Remaster? Didn't Blizzard remaster the original Starcraft a few years back? I wonder where the remaster idea came from. Hmm, I can't seem to figure it out. That is what I suspect. 3) If there is going to be a Remaster at all, I would prefer Petroglyph do it. Since Petroglyph is composed of most of the original developers of Command and Conquer and Westwood studios. Let the original developers have a hand or say in the franchise they helped to create at the very least.

    Now, on the other hand, if this remaster is proposed by a True Command and Conquer fan like the rest of us, I say give them a chance. If EA doubles down on what they are known for, the franchise won't be revived. It will still be dead. HOWEVER, if these developers actually want to make a remaster that is GOOD, in other words redeem themselves, they have a green light from me. The only way to find out is to give these EA devs a chance.

    My opinion on the questions to keep in mind about this remaster?

       The balance for the most part should stay the same.

       I don't mind the idea of the UI being streamlined, as long as the UI keeps most of its C&C feel.

       I can accept a UI out of, say, C&C3 or OpenRA. Clean and some really useful functions and commands like production queuing, organized tabs, waypoints, and attack move would be fantastic.

  3. That would have been great, if I had known about a registry comparison program a lot sooner. But it is not gonna do me a whole lot of good now because the black screen issue I had has been resolved. But I will remember this for possible future registry problems.

    Nah, black screen started on my main PC months if not years after I'd had ECW already installed on it without problem.

    That's how it was was with me as well. I installed ECW and it ran fine, no problems whatsoever. Then I started messing around in the BHS.dll section in the options which I suspect made an unintended change to a registry key.

    No, I will bet more that what happened to me was a change in the game's options that corrupted a registry key, and anything else (Windows or another program) would have a negligible impact or nothing at all.

  5. My friends and brothers in the ECW dev team and community, I have found a non-practical way to fix this impassable Super Black Screen issue. The solution, a computer reset and a fresh install of Windows. Once again, not very practical. I had to reset computer and reinstall windows because of either a virus or a registry problem that caused my file explorer to fail, making my computer a pain in the ass to work with.

    ECW dev team, if you can fix this problem for other users who may be experiencing this same impassable black screen problem as well, please do.

    I think he's saying he turned it on and now can't turn it back off because he can't get into the in-game options where that setting lives because of the black screen issue

    You my friend got it dead right, with multi sample antialias turned on, I ALWAYS get a black screen.

  7. After some messing around in the settings of ECW, I found and set the multi-sample anti-alias in the BHS.dll options. Now whenever I try to load the game, it always gives me a black screen. Not even the known ways of working around the black screen issue in 'Testament's Tips on Surviving ECW' work. Now what?

    I can pretty much say no to both and a gigantic definitive no to the second question in particular.

    Why am I not surprised? Oh well, it was just an idea that seemed fun. But, the latter being denied makes more sense than the former being denied. Mental Omega is a huge RA2 mod that has four factions, each with three sub-factions and a Buttload of units all together. Yeah, should have seen that one coming. The former on the other hand, I know it would take some time for the Yuri units to be made and perfected. Unless that is the reason for the former being denied, I am confused.

  9. I am looking forward to RA2 ARs release. However, I bet there is still a buttload of testing, stabilizing, balancing, and otherwise perfecting before release. Translated, I bet this game wont be out for a super long time. Oh well, that's the price for a game like this. If anyone can, please prove me wrong. To end this reply on a not so doubtful note, I wonder if the Yuri faction will ever be added or see a Mental Omega mod for AR?
