Recently I've been getting some error between Dune 2000 and Tiberian Sun. Both are the CnCNet5 versions. Here's what I know:

In Dune 2000: Opening FMV plays, then top left corner glitch happens, and can't do anything else.
I've played around with video settings, no change.

In Tiberian Sun:
Tiberian Sun doesn't launch.
Odyssey and Insurrection both start a game with black screen. If I press "esc" then I see a frozen image from the MCV. The menu is black, and sometimes I can hit menu buttons by guessing where they are.

These are graphical errors, not internal errors. The game keeps going but nothing is seen.

Tiberian Dawn and RA1 CNCnet both work fine.

These also work fine on my laptop. I'm not sure when it started, but it might have been when I upgrade my rig  cpu and mobo, and other stuff last December.

Windows 7
CPU AMD 8350
GPU GTX 770
mobo AMD 990fx

Sounds like issues known from either Intel graphics controllers, or Windows 8.1. Hard to tell otherwise with no PC specs. :p

I heard about this problem not long time ago (the dune 2000 one), no idea what is causing it tho...

For TS, try to enable ts-ddraw or IE-DDraw in the config

What OS do you have?

Do you have High DPI scaling enabled?

Try to use the original game executable to make sure the problem is not caused by my patch:

Have you tried forcing them into a window? I had similar issues with Windows 8 and TS, but windowing it worked fine.

@Funky: I just tried those files, got same result.

Not sure how to choose DPI scaling, though I tried in min res and max res, also same result

Skirmish in good old Tiberian sun seems to work just fine though

what should I try next?

If it's an issue with two monitors, I've found that running the game windowed fixes it.

I just talked to someone who got the same problem, he said it started to happen after a graphic driver update, his GPU is gtx 670

He said it worked fine before the update, so you might want to get an older version of the drivers, the latest one is bugged

If original TS works in Win7 properly then for the modded versions, try with default renderer. Or try various option
in this post : http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38620

If it is dual display, can try winkey+p and switch from extend to computer only.

In case of CnCNet TS, if there is old ddraw.dll (26.5kb 23/Oct/2013) in the game folder, try removing/renaming it.
Newer ddraw.dll (14kb 14/May/2014) in Twisted Insurrection PB 5039 doesn't give this problem.

I reinstalled Tiberian Sun CNCNET. Turns out I must have had an older version. I was under the impression that the auto-updater would cover all the bases, though apparently not.
I can actually see the screen now. Only thing is, if I hit the menu, the menu is invisible, and I have to guess where the buttons are. Good thing the past 15 years of playing this game has given some muscle memory to help me find them #Tongue

I'm going to update latest versions of TI and TO and see if that makes a difference.
