Additional Comments

CPU: 4790K GPU Nvidia GTX 780Ti Gnome 3 I used the cnc-comm.com beta installer in order to play online. Install dotnet 20 libraries If you use a 16:9 monitor emulate a virtual desktop that is the size of your monitor, otherwise it will try to force CNC's native resolution.

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
­Improving performance
  • Run 'wine regedit', browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine. If there is no key (the stuff with folder icons) called AppDefaults, then create it
  • Right-click on that key and create a new key game.exe
  • Create a new subkey Direct3D. In that key create two string variables:
    DirectDrawRenderer with value opengl
    RenderTargetLockMode with value readtex
General instructions, with or without opengl
  • Press cancel when the installer wants to update system files
  • To avoid copy protection issues (in my experience it did not work even on Windows 98SE, just 95), upgrade to the latest version
  • If you are not using the opengl mode as described above, after saving a game, the menu becomes invisible, but it appears for a second or so first, so it is easy to find the resume mission button. the menu appears again if you ALT+TAB out of the game and back
  • In order to play network games, IPX will have to be enabled in the kernel, and you need some userspace utilities, usually called ipx-utils; and IPX must be started (there should be an initscript). Also note that Tiberian Sun's network support is only available when it is run as root

Game works fine!
The Wine Registry Key "DirectDrawRenderer" was depreciated some time ago and has been replaced with the much more Generic "renderer" key. Rename the "DirectDrawRenderer" key to "renderer" (without quotes) and the Menus will render once more.
