How to play to the 1,00-1.08 version of the command and Conquer 3 in steam

[SOUKIN]

The 1.09 version almost ruined the campaign mode, i'm as a stupid RTS game player, medium difficulty can only be reached Sarajevo, I cannot be passed after this, and I use -runver 1.X, but was unable to enter the game.
The campaign mode can not play now, nobody and I for versus mode....

--> got 1.0 dat from gamecopyworld
--> I got the 1.0 folder in the RetailExe folder that contains the same stuff as the 1.9 with exception of the cnc3game.dat
--> added a copy of CNC3_english_1.9.SkuDef, renamed the compy to 1.0 and replaced all 1.9 with 1.0
--> added -runver 10. as launch parameter
--> ??? Help

--> i think the gamecopyworld .dat file is bad. But I cant find the original file anywhere else

Last year I finally managed to get 1.0 to work and I kept the fix that worked for me. I uploaded it here: https://mega.nz/file/YWQxnBbQ#Ndo32Us1FPp_pHcPw9yX9bKOQLg__iK-OdejD0xvVu4
Copy and then paste and replace everything.
Let me know if it works.

Instantly worked. With your files it took me 20 seconds in total to make it work. You are my absolute hero!!! I can't believe it. It runs and it shows version 1.0 in the options menu.

KANE LIVES!

This fix is still working, many thanks! I've also managed to do the same for KW, so I've made a new version of the zip to include that fix as well:

Can someone put a step by step in layman terms on how to do this? I tried but I barely understand.

EDIT: never mind I got it. I replaced the 1.9 to 1.0 in all folders. Moved over the files from the rar RetailExe 1.0 folder and replaced everything there. In the "RetailExe" folder, I changed the 1.9 folder to say 1.0, then said yes to everything when the computer asks you if you want to replace or rename. It works.

Thank you.

You sire, are a legend! It worked for me last month. What is important, I own EA Play (former Origin) version and your guide still can be applied.

Holy ♥♥♥♥, seeing the difference in 1.9 to 1.0 is astounding on how much they broke the campaign in comparison.

Tbf 1.0 on medium now feels too easy but my god the unit changes they did in 1.9 wtf

[Stormtempter]

1.4 is the last patch that considered the campaign. All patches beyond messed with units for PvP balance that impacted the campaign severely. Just an FYI if you dont want to go super vanilla. I think 1.4 might have been the patch for Kane's Wrath and why its the last 'good' one.

Thank you so, so, so, so much! You are my absolute hero! And if someone is reading this now, this discussion, and you have a problem error "could not find game version 1.0" (because you downloaded pirate version and it's not the English version)
Here is your salvation:
