I can play the game with the fix resolution but screen stays black after exiting the game no matter what i do

[ChrisRushOwnz]

is there any way to fix this ? i am using windows 11 .
i do not wanna use any third party program because some say it screws the campaign cutscenes and maps .

Which third party program? Because when we're talking about C&Cnet it doesn't screw the campaign, nor does it remove the cutscenes in any way.

I don't get where this aversion is coming from, i've been using C&Cnet for multiple Command & Conquer titles for more then 10 years now without issues.

The release already contains a 3rd party program (DDrawCompat) to fix issues with graphics handling, so I don't see what's the issue with replacing it with a different one that was developed specifically by the C&C community.[github.com]

Also, there actually are errors (file corruptions) in some of the cutscenes that cause game crashes, and the only fixes for those so far are 3rd party. But all they do is substitute the corrupted files with original ones from people's old CDs.

the PC antivirus says Cncnet has a trojan . but since i have seen some cnc players on twitch playing the game with this program , i guess i have to trust .

update : i installed the cncnet and it looks wonderful however when i wanna play the campaign the yuri's revenge music from the cncnet client keeps playing .

Im pretty sure thats because CNCnet uses some net packages (or something like that) that messes with your computer in a way that you could play with literally anyone while having not exactly the most legal copy of the game
Lots of software like that work that way

Not at all. Distinguishing illegal installs from legal ones is pretty hard for an external program, so I'm not sure why anyone would bother with that.

CnCNet definitely doesn't do anything extra to specifically allow them; the system is only developed to work on the game files as they look on normal official installations, so it might in fact have missing asset issues with modified copies of the game.

Normally they're just dumped into the game folder, but I think CnCNet has a dedicated maps subfolder for them in there.
