ok, so
this issue is fixed now
for anyone else that dealt with this:
just go into %appdata% and delete renegade and westwood if thats there
and c:/westwood as well as the stuff in program file (x86)
thanks everyone that tried to help
each time i try to run renegade, or w3d hub on renegade, it says "unable to find vfc core interface". i have reinstalled the game, w3d hub, and tiberian technologies. if anyone can help that would be wonderful.
Thanks
