    Is there a way to donate without be charged a hefty paypal fee?

    It didn't charge me last time..? Try clicking the actual donate button instead of sending to the above directly. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I used the button and don't remember being charged a fee. It may also vary by nation, which we can't do anything about.

    Gee, I wonder why. 

    Well, it isn't because we didn't want to do a VR port... Thats a complicated subject itself and quite unrelated to this.

    Simply put, WE are the wrong team for such a task. We do W3D. Not C&C, but W3D - the engine, and all games related to that. We're dead and we know it, right? Isn't that what everyone says about us nowadays as some sort of jab to try to pressure us to leave the only thing we know? Okay then.

    We are hobbyists, and this is the hobby that we have chosen. I hope someone does do a set of VR C&C games, as that would be super cool. But unless we suddenly make some huge advances, and all of us can afford to put that kind of time and effort into a HOBBY, then it can't be our team. We are going to continue to build and improve on the platform that we know. And who knows? Maybe someday W3D itself will support VR 8) (if we pick up someone who has the time, resources, and ability to do that for us)

    i think ive figured it out myself, i was unsure if i did the TLS at the time i was writing that but i may have not and the log says it failed to connect to the SSL/TLS but if its not that tell me, imma go try the TLS 1.2 enabling right now to make sure i did iterrors.log

    Ahh. That is probably it then. Let us know what happens.

    sorry for an very late response but i misstyped service pack, its a service pack 1 windows 7
    system specs:
    8 GB of ram
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Cpu Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz(i literally typed this from a the device manager because i forgot  its name)
    ASUS EAH6670 Series graphics card  i think thats all thats needed if anything else is please type me

    (yes i know i have a bad computer but it somehow still runs most modern games at good graphics)

    I see. A respectable machine when it was new for sure, but definitely showing its age by now. It should be able to run IA and other 4.x engine games on high-ish settings if we can get the other issues figured out. APB and other 5.x games will definitely make that hardware chug, fair warning. You might also look into putting some fresh thermal compound on your CPU if you plan to stick with this hardware. That is a super hot chip, and your thermal paste is surely dry by now. Don't want to burn it up!

    As for the issue at hand, if you've tried everything thats posted to try, then I'm not sure. You might post your launcher log file and see if that gives us any more of a clue as to what the issue is. But my recommendation would be to upgrade to Windows 10. Its still free to upgrade, and it will support your hardware, barely. I would make a backup first just in case though.

    You might also try the following command at an administrator command prompt:

    sfc /scannow

    The built-in "system file checker" scans many of the core windows files for corruption, and then replaces them with new copies if any bad ones are found. In the right situation, its very useful. Whether or not it will help here...don't know. It certainly can't hurt.

    Yeah so I have a question, I downloaded the new scripts, can't get it into a folder, its always greyed out. Also, when I told W3DHub where my game was located since I'm on an origin copy, it doesn't act right. Everytime I try to join a server it just opens game library on Origin. I don't know what to do or how to make the game work. 

    Can you clarify what you mean when you say you "can't get it into a folder"? The other things you describe are what happens before the update is applied. Once you get the scripts update done, everything should work. You may have to reset the game on the W3D-Hub launcher afterward though, else it might not hit the correct executable.

    You should just be able to run the update and put your game path in the blank.

    (i dont think im even posting this in the right area)

    But anyways 

    Hello. ive been trying to come back to w3d hub for a while.. but it only says "Failed to connect  to the backend" i saw this was reported many times so i tried everything that was said to fix it but nothing worked This included firewall game version TLS hosts regedit im running a Windows 7 Service Pack 2 64 bit PC 

    anyways now im going to wait for answers if you answer thanks.

    There is no such thing as Windows 7 SP2, officially anyway.

    Please list your system specs, and do look again to see what version you actually have. If it actually says Win 7 SP2, then your windows installation has been modified in some unofficial way, and thus we can not support it because it will be impossible for us to determine exactly what you have.

    Hello, I have installed Red alert: A path beyond on my old pc but it is extremely lagging. I don't know what is the reason. It is not a graphic intensive game but it is still lagging. I think my GPU is more than enough for this game. This is my current GPU: https://www.getitequip.com/Dell-0JH471-Graphics-Card

    Can you guys explain me why is it happening. Is there any compatibility issues?

    Without seeing the rest of your system specs, I will start by saying that your GPU is almost definitely one cause of the lag. APB is not Renegade; There are 20 years worth of graphical improvements, so it does require a fairly decent system in order to play it lag-free. You can drop the settings down and get a smoother experience, but I would recommend a beefier card. Your card released in 2004, making it 18 years old...

    Where it all began.

    Nein!

    We had RenIP and APBIP before that haha.

    That one was pretty cool though, I miss that era of things with the cool theming we did to everything. The PDF game manuals, etc. And of course yearly (or less) patches servers capped at 26 so we would all sit and wait and spam the join button. Good times...

    EDIT: I wonder if I could "fix" that thing to actually work again nowadays with APB Beta :raise:

    A discussion starter on tactful game design, with an example of a strange bit of audio feedback.

    Sometimes it is just a tad bit too much :aaa:

  11. Realistic? Not today...

    Possible? Sure, just needs lots of people, lots of time, lots of effort, etc.

    A new engine would be painful (and something we said we wouldn't do), but not illegal. See RenegadeX, thats on Unreal Engine.

    Its not a stupid thought, just a bit unrealistic for our team. Something like this would probably be best tackled by a team with a different skillset. We're stuck in our W3D ways 8)

  12. Jonwil is still around, but yes, unfortunately some forums have gone offline. We are hoping that they aren't gone permanently, but we don't know for sure.

    If TT is having issues connecting out....that is really strange. Its a stretch, but have you checked your time and time zone on your PC just to make sure that they are correctly set? This can cause failures like this, but other stuff should not be working either if that was messed up...

  13. @ indio Windows 10 is definitely not my favorite, but it is worth the upgrade. And I can help you make it not feel so "ugh" as well if you'd like, if you decide to upgrade. I have not regretted it, and I hate change. The tweaks they made after the first couple versions of win10 made it better as well, so if you haven't tried it in a while, it might have changed for the better since then.

    Windows 7 is still technically supported by the launcher, so I'm not sure whats going on there. You might check and see if you have any sort of weird firewall stuff going on. What AV do you use? Any fancy network firewall appliances? VPNs or proxies or such like? Any of that might affect this. I don't want to give up yet :v
