Solutions

• Q: Nothing happens when I start the game, i.e. it crashes immediately.
  
• Q: When I enable the widescreen resolution the cmd window gets full of red messages.
  
• A: You need to install/update '.NET Framework 3.5'. On Windows 7 and later this component installs automatically, but if this didn't happen, follow the steps:
  
  
  1. Press 'Windows Logo' + 'R' keys on the keyboard.
     
  2. Type 'optionalfeatures' in the 'Run' command box and press 'ENTER'.
     
  3. Check if the '.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)' option is available in it.
     
  4. If yes, then enable it and then click on 'OK'.
     
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart the computer, if prompted.

• Q: When I launch the game I get an error: '0xc0000022'.
  
• A: You need to do the same steps as in previous Q&A, but instead of the step 3 you need to check 'DirectPlay' under 'Legacy Components'.
  
  
• Q: I have a multiple monitor system and experience problems with enabling the widesceen resolution.
  
• A: Enable it through the 'Manual Mode' and enter the resolution of your primary monitor, i.e. the monitor you want to play the game on.
  
  
• Q: I’ve enabled the widescreen resolution but it doesn't seem to work in main menu.
  
• A: Custom resolution affects only the gameplay, main menu will be always in 800x600.
  
  
• Q: Why Steam Overlay doesn't show up while playing the game?
  
• A: The game uses DirectDraw for graphics rendering. Steam Overlay works only in DirectX games.
  
  
• Q: Is there a way to use the original music instead of the new one?
  
• A: The original music is a one 30 minutes music file with fixed order of tracks. Every time you will play the game, you will hear the same tracks in the same order. If your match will be more than 30 minutes, you will not hear music until the match ends. The new music is devoid of these shortcomings.
  
  
• Q: When I play vanilla game or patched, the gameplay stops/freezes, but music still continues to play. It stays like this for about 10-20 seconds then it returns to normal. It happens very often.
  
• A: If you have a CD/DVD drive, you need to insert a disk into it, no matter which. For some reason, the game checks for a disc in the optical drive on some system configurations.
  
  
• Q: Why can't I play the Republic campaign in Clone Campaigns?
  
• A: Chronologically, the events of the Confederacy campaign lead to the events of the Republic campaign, and as such, you must complete the campaigns in sequence. The Republic campaign will remain locked until you have finished all the missions in the Confederacy campaign.
  
• A: But the restriction doesn't generally work, if you load the Confederacy campaign first and then cancel it, the Republic campaign will be unlocked.

No, wait, problem solved: I just had to reboot my PC.

[Pod 017-07]

On the GOG version the all-in-one patched game crashes in a weird way: at the first time I start a scenario (be it a campaign one or a custom one) it runs fine, but at the second time the game crashes; at third time it runs fine, but at the fourth it crashes; and so on.
I don't know about the other versions.

[JJY117]

How do i run this in WINDOWED MODE??????? so it fits my screen!

[MeisterPHOENIX]

I'm on Windows 11, my cursor keeps on disappearing or the screen glitches every time I start a game. I'm trying on widescreen and manual mode.

[NightAngel47]

Cursor won't display in game on Windows 11. Is there a way to use this patch to fix that?

[prudx]

is this one of those games where fps is tied to game speed? i was hoping for 60fps+

[ll BrEakKouT ll]

[Big Yehudah]
