Not running on windows 10

[BloodyCassie]

Everytime i start the game it says that it has stopped working almost immediately, anyone has advice?

Try this:

I had to "upgrade" to the latest drivers (which was actually going from v20 to v15) using the intel utility. When the drivers were reinstalled, I restarted and the game ran perfectly. No need for compatibility mode or run as admin.

Just noticed this didn't entirely solve the problem. The game runs but the Widescreen resolutions are broken.

Specifically the game 'thinks' it's running in full widescreen, but the left and right of the screen doesn't update from the title screen. The result is that bits of the game map (and the controls) appear off the side of the screen rendering the game largely unplayable - have to revert to a standard aspect ratio resolution, which stretches everything out horizontally.

alright guys listen its pretty obvious
they dont update the game and it can only handle windows 7 xp etc. windows 10 cant be played on so see if you have a windows 7 computer and play it there

This is absolutely BAD information. It does play on Windows 10. This thread is full of people who have gotten it working either with 0 modification or by telling the shortcut to use their GPU vs Intel Graphics or run in compatibility mode.

took me a few days but was able to get it to work. Just had to change a few "launch options". Thanks for the input guys. Seems to work well on Win 10 to me.

Can you tell me more about that?

Here is solution for Win10 + Intel HD Drivers

Working well,

• first if you don't suceed to launch a little bit the game (meaning no black screen at all), then it's another problem, linked to the version of DirectX (me, I solved it by moving the game folder to the program files (32bits) folder to force the good directX 32 bits to be loaded (and avoid the "Error 0xc000007b" that is explained here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/24790/discussions/0/619569340975925423) but also by copying the good 32 bits direct X file in the game folder (it have the same effect 32 bit version of d3dx9_29.dll))
  you can file this file in this package Feb2006_d3dx9_29_x86.cab http://www.oldapps.com/directx.php?old_directx=11
  
• then to solve the crash issue, you need to install the good intel driver, so simply !
  in fact, only an old one is working today, download it here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25188/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-64bit-3rd-Gen-BYT-
  unpack the driver (with 7zip for example) and, from the device manager force update to this driver (say "I have a disk", browse to the "Graphics" folder of the driver pack and voila, no need to restart computer it's simply working)!

4 hours to solve those 2 issues... now I can sleep and will enjoy tomorrow (it's 2 AM...)

you can say thank you to norbyte on intel forum :)

That's strange, I have win 10 and this game works flawlessly for me, I use '-ui -nofpslimit' launch options (left click on the game and properties) so there's launcher before actual game that let you load mods, view replays etc., so maybe it will work for you with these commands? not sure

I went back to windows 8.1 and it does the same thing. I don't think it's windows fault.

It is INTELs fault because the game has bugs with some INTEL HD graphic devices

thats why pc gaming sucks. Nobody should be hunting for old drivers to play a legally purchased game. If the game is not supported anymore and is giving so much problems, give it for free.

C&C sucks on Xbox though :P

I'm having the same exact problem as you guys, tried updating my drivers, the fcker just corrects itself or something because it keeps happening. Windows 10 here too btw. Which, I'm glad it works for SOME people on Windows 10, but it seems like Windows 10 + Intel graphics is the common thread all around here.

did you tried my solution (see above) ? installation of old intel driver ?

[Jackle Gaming]

I had a problem a while back with windows 8 with TW/KW on my main pc witch is a Toshiba Satilate laptop with an Intel core i3 3rd or 4th gen at least. I upgraded it to win 10 and it still worked fine. I bought a new laptop after christmas and its an ASUS X555Lab with Intel core i3 5th or 6th gen. I get the error exception too. It acts like it wants to start but ends up erroring out. Ive tried updating my drivers but my laptop maker has a weird version of the new Intel HD drivers installed and wont let me use the actual Intel driver.
