This is true of Dune but not Interim Apex. IA is giving me the download error message if I retry the download. Deleting the folder in program data is the only way to resume it, which of course means downloading from the beginning every time. I don't know why that is.
Also where is errors.log located? I don't see it in my w3d hub folder.
Your errors.log file is located at Documents\W3D Hub\Launcher\errors.log
You may not have to delete the whole folder in the case of IA - sometimes you can delete the individual package that coincides with the one that the process fails on (if you pay attention during the download).

Actually you can change the location of the download cache using the settings in the launcher itself - cog icon in the top corner. Just FYI
The errors.log file might reveal why it's unable to download files - also worth noting that it will resume a partially completed download if your connection drops and you try it again
Thanks for reminding me! I completely forgot you added that setting!
@ korninja Lets look at this option before we try something else, as it may be much easier.
Thanks danpaul!

There are still 84.1gb available on the main drive and all 931 available on the back up. It shouldn't be a lack of space. Interim Apex is one of the first games I attempted to download when i bought the pc brand new a few days ago and it was still failing half way through. I've downloaded and installed many large games since then. My internet connection is not terribly stable. Does the launcher give up the download if my internet connection is lost maybe?
*edit
Also to clarify, the problem with the Mental Omega launcher was that the autopatcher took hours to download whereas downloading the patch in my browser and installing it manually took minutes. Hopefully that information might be helpful to you.
Ah I see. Yes, an unstable connection could cause this. In that case, I may be able to help. We do not currently distribute the games in any form besides the launcher, but I may be able to get you the files you need. Message me and we'll see what we can do.

Hello @ korninja and welcome to W3D-Hub.
Based on your description, it sounds like you almost certainly have limited space available on your primary partition. While the Launcher and games themselves can be installed in any location, the folder that I think you are referring to, which contains the download cache, unfortunately can not be relocated. Beings as this is happening as you mention with cases besides our games and launcher, I think the best solution would be to clear up some drive space before trying to install anything else. If you need assistance in doing that, I would be glad to help.

Once I've installed it, what else is needed for the game?Download the TT patch from tiberiantechnologies.org and apply it to your installation. That should be it! Remember to not try to set up the W3D Hub launcher with Renegade until AFTER the patch is installed and tested to be working. And be sure to use game2.exe as well.

I didn't find any 5.0 script you referring to.
gone to :
https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads
And 4.8 is the last version so far.I don't see any 5.0 version.
Or is it a particular version of yours?On 3/10/2023 at 4:58 PM, ChopBam said:Scripts 5.0 and 5.1 are versions of scripts that ship with newer W3D games than Renegade, such as RA: A Path Beyond, RA2: Apocalypse Rising, and Battle for Dune.
To clarify, 4.8 is part of what we internally call the 4.x engine family, whereas 5.0 and 5.1 are "branches" of the 5.x engine family. Without going into too much detail, the primary difference between them is that the 4.x family is aimed at maintaining compatibility with Renegade and other mods that use the traditional Renegade structure under the hood. The 5.x engine family is more custom, which allows us to more freely and easily develop new features, but also breaks compatibility with Renegade, which is why we maintain these separately. Sometimes features are developed on one branch, and then are ported to another, but the implementation might have to be different due to the differences in the engines.
Hope this helps.

Just going to tag @ The Unstoppable because he will likely be the guy to look at this.

@ Macplayz Hello again!
Be sure that you have gotten all the windows updates that are available. There is an update or two after SP1 that are required for the TLS connection to work properly. I don't remember which update(s) in particular, but I can find out if installing everything available doesn't solve the issue. We recently had an issue where some updates were being blocked for another player, and we had to find a way around which ended up working.

Hello! And welcome to W3D-Hub!

Indeed we are, and some "re-kijiggering" is already in the works, I just have not finished it. Some input from a fresh set of eyes might actually be useful, because the help info that I've been working on might overlook something that I have assumed is obvious or well-known due to my own familiarity. DM me on this, and I will make sure that your points of confusion are covered somewhere in the new help guides when I finish them.
Thank you for your praise of our projects, this is much appreciated! Glad to see that someone who played a long while ago has made their way back, very cool

There are events from time to time, and we usually announce them via our Discord as well as social media.
As for your issues with the games, lets get some information... Refer to the posting guide here at the top of this subforum. Do you have any video or screenshots of the rainbow rocks or mini freezes? You mention some details about the issues you are experiencing, but what about your hardware? The description gives me a little bit to go on, but I don't want to assume too much before knowing some hardware and software information about your system, as well as the composition of your Renegade install. From where did you acquire Renegade? Is it updated with the TT patch? What modifications have you done to the game yourself?
Let us know what we are working with, and we will go from there. And again, welcome!

I'm fairly certain that if both of you are on the same network then the server should just appear in the connection list for clients on that network. You need to set it up correctly of course, with the playercount and other options, but it should be pretty straightforward. You can always use the IP address of the computer you are hosting from as well, if it doesn't appear in the list automatically. Sometimes certain networks or network settings on some computers can prevent the "advertisement" of LAN servers, so you would need to use the IP address in that case. Try pinging the computer you are hosting the game from on another computer. If that doesn't work, then there is definitely something network or network-setting related at play.

Both Local Network
Alright, so just to make sure we are on the same page, is this an IA server, or Renegade, or something else?
And by what method are you trying to have a server? Via the built-in "host server" option in the game, or by a FDS installation?

I really didn't have disk space and moved it to another disk, now everything works. Thanks, Einstein 🙂!
Ah, cool. For other issues in the future that aren't disk space related, the file that danpaul mentioned is the correct way to see what is going wrong.
Glad you got it going!

Check to make sure that your drive is not close to being full. If you have less than 5GB free, then this is most likely the problem.
If your drive has plenty of space, then we can look at some other possibilities.

@ SsaschaDE Hello and welcome!
I have a few questions about the details here:
What program are you using in your first picture?
And in the second picture, does this error happen when you run Renegade, or at some other time?
From where did you obtain your copy of Renegade? (Origin, "orange box", TFD, Ultimate Collection, Original disks, "other")

Are you both on the same LAN (local network), or are you in separate locations?

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
(if we pick up someone who has the time, resources, and ability to do that for us)

Hi boodie,
Is this on a specific Renegade server? All of them? Has anything changed with your system or game recently?

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 /scannowThe 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.

Command and conquer renegade had every text replaced with TDBERR
in Help & Support

Hello @ chill AX2 and welcome!
If you have not installed the Tiberian Technologies patch for Renegade, please do so. Installing or re-installing this patch can correct a lot of common issues. As Chopbam said, something is not quite right with your game files, and it is affecting what is called the strings database, which holds nearly all of the text seen in the game. Everywhere that you see "TDBERR" is the game's way of letting you know there is a problem.
