Command & Conquer 3 on Windows 10 & 11 [ Bewerkt ]

[w00tje]

I cannot get Command & Conquer to run one Windows 10. I insttalled Using EA Origin.

I tried:

1. Installing DirectX 9.0.
2.  Installing DirectX 11.
3. Placing d3dx9_29.dll in the game folder ("P:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW" and KW\Command Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath & "P:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars") because it gejerated errorl 0x0000007e.
4. Installling open SSL becauese "ssleay32.dll" was missing. I also placed it in botth game folders ("P:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW" and KW\Command Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath & "P:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars").
5. Running it with Administrator right.
6. Running it in "Windows XP version 3" compatibility mode.
7. Running in "Windows Vista" compatibility mode.
8. 8. Repaired using the "Repair" function in EA Origin.

At first I got a black screen and the resolution Was like 640x480. But it would not start. After applying t he fixes it doesn't even start.

Does anyboy have an way to get the game to work?

I fixed the problem. I set the compatity mode tfor "CNC3.exe" & "CNC3EP1.exe" to run with 640x480 resolution. Then I was able to change the resolution in the settings menu. No it starts.

Optionally you can installed a modded version of C&C Online:

And don't forget to disable the "640x480" resolution compability settings after you set the correct resolution in the Command & Conquer 3 settings menu and closed the game.

This fix also works on Windows 11.
