Unable to start skirmishes
Hello! I seem to be having an issue with this mod. It installed fine. I can access the menu and bring up the Skirmish lobby, but as soon as I hit 'launch', the skirmish lobby closes itself, and then reappears again, as if nothing had happened. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'd appreciate some advice, I haven't touched Tiberian Sun for what must be approaching a decade and would love to play the mod!
I do not have the original TS any more, but I assume that doesn't matter
Thank you for your help,
Which OS do you have? (WinXP, Vista, 7, 8, 10)
Do you have a firewall installed? If yes, which?
Check if you gave the game folder admin rights.
Your issue sounds like
a) the client is not allowed to start the game exe (e.g. firewall blocking the game or OS blocks the game due to limited rights)
or
b) tiberian sun is incompatible with your OS (in this case try some different renderer settings in the "Settings" menu) _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
To me this sounds like the game executable is launched and then it silently quits immediately. Could you upload / copy-and-paste the file "TI.log" from your TI directory to this topic?
Wow, I wasn't expecting a response that quickly! Hi guys!
LKO- I'm on a windows 7 OS. I have AVG antivirus, but I disabled that. Didn't seem to make a difference whether I had that on or not.
Rampastein- I've dug through the file directory and can't find anything called 'TI.log'. There's a text document that's just called TI, do you want that? QUICK_EDIT

Yes, he wants that. Silly Windows hides the file extension. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

make sure that you don't run Tiberian Sun or any other TS-based mod like DTA. (open task manager and kill the game.exe process or game.dat in case of TI/DTA or any other TS mod)
The TS-engine can not be run twice on the same PC. Only one instance is allowed to run at any time. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Back again guys. I got it to run skirmishes, but I am met with only the sidebar on the right side of the screen, the game music, and a black screen where the terrain/units should be. I tried putting it into windowed mode and fiddled with the resolution to see if that would help, and it said 'This product requires 16 bit pixel depth' and then crashed.

This has happened on a number of maps, the one I tried most recently was-
Abandoned (Map)
resolution- 1280x800
renderer- default
windowed- no
sidebar darkening & alphalights- yes
back buffer in video memory- no
smaller vehicle graphics- no QUICK_EDIT
OH. I Put on-
Short Game
Build Off Ally
Re-Deployable MCV
Destroyable Bridges
Start Without Shroud
When I put start without shroud on, I was able to see my starting units etc, but I am still having really bad graphics problems i/e strange lines appearing across the screen, unable to close the menu, unable to interact with or click on anything. QUICK_EDIT
Alright, in that case it's not related to the map or the skirmish settings.
What is your graphics card?
Try the game with different renderer settings in the graphics options and see if there's one that makes it work better. Especially the TS-DDRAW renderer often fixes issues like this. If it still doesn't work, try enabling Back Buffer in Video Memory. _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
