  2. Launcher suggestions and bug report

    in W3D Hub Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Plokite_Wolf

    Here's a few suggestions I have for the launcher:

     

    • Have an Update button for the individual games rather than having to attempt joining an existing server to update a game.
    • Have an Uninstall button for the individual games, rather than having to remove them manually, which I feel dirty when doing :p
    • Have an uninstaller for the W3D Hub Launcher itself (I thought it had one before?).

     

    Also, the last version of APB I had was 3.0.2.0, and yesterday I tried to update several times. It kept failing either at installing the always.dat itself (???) or an intermediary update (3.0.2.1 or such). The launcher would either say it failed or crash completely.

     

    Now I've Shift+Del'd the entire W3D Hub folder (because I couldn't find its uninstaller) and installed it again. I'm trying to install APB, and it's already found the files it downloaded before, but it fails to install always.patch.3.0.1.0.zip. What gives?

  8. RA3 Mod Issues

    in Command & Conquer

    Posted · Edited by Plokite_Wolf

    Let's try a different approach. Make a shortcut to the RA3 executable, and put the -ui parameter at the end of the Target entry to load the RA3 Control Panel (autorun for DVD versions). There, you will have the Game Browser option, which will list all (properly) installed mods and let you launch them.

     

    The shortcut should look like this:

    OR....

     

    put the parameter MPRA2 gave you to the same location instead of -ui to launch the mod automatically each time you use that shortcut...

    -modconfig "C:\path\to\the\"modname_modversion".skudef"

  13. Windows 8.1 Zero Hour choppy gameplay issue

    in Command & Conquer

    Posted

    as for your posts above, I have no source or logs since it was on an older Windows 7 laptop that had a Hard Drive corruption while playing a mod for Forces of Corruption... lol....

     

    Must have been a different, possibly long-standing problem. Making such correlations is a bit pointless - once, my brother's desktop account was borked after the PC overheated playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance and had to be revived using System Restore. The same desktop, but with a different GFX card and Windows installation was left in a semi-standby mode with Skype online years later, but none of that was the problem - the motherboard and power were derpy since day one.

     

    Honestly, with my already $2,206 desktop, I'd rather not risk anything since I dont even have AV software installed as of yet.

     

    You would not risk using a trusted community member's tool that simply works?

     

    In the end its most likely the game not having any optimization for the 980 Ti, as it is a fairly recent, and high end card. Its strange that only Generals/ZH is having these problems, while C&C 3, RA2, TS, Renegade, and RA3 have absolutely no problem running.

     

    As I said, the game's engine is shit. It doesn't matter if your computer is a $3 potato or a $1,000,000 beast, these slowdowns happen to many without warning or reason. We're also in a time where every single computer, even lower end ones, are more powerful than the recommended system requirements for C&C Generals.

     

    I might just go try to find a bootleg of the 99.9% finished Tiberium game....

     

    You mean TIBERIUM from 2008?

    Hopefully it isn't a scam, as some of them look badass. i'll make a topic on the forums and post pictures if they arrive.

     

    None of them are official, so take them with a grain of salt :p

  17. Windows 8.1 Zero Hour choppy gameplay issue

    in Command & Conquer

    well the thing is, compared between my laptop and this desktop, ZH on the laptop runs on ultra at a smooth 60fps.

    The SAGE engine is not supposed to run on more than 30 FPS. Anything higher than that speeds the game up because EALA couldn't grasp that FPS =/= game speed.

     

    oh and... uhh........ its from the ultimate collection on Origin.....

    Doesn't quite matter in the case of Generals/Zero Hour, I think they're unchanged from the patched disc versions apart from the Origin integration and lack of parameter support (which you can fix by disabling Origin for all TUC games and applying Bibber's fixed launchers).
