I've loved this game since young and you lot are awesome for patching it but haven't seen anything for Win8
Here's a solution to run on windows 8:-
Create a shortcut to the Game.exe, goto properties and in 'Target' add .exe'' -win *Remeber the space and outside quotations
This runs the game in windows mode and stops the menu freezes
In the same Properties Tab:
Compatibility : Win Xp Service pack 2 (Seems to be most stable)
Reduced colour mode : 16bit
Run as Administrator
Where the game.exe is located in programme files there is a SUN.ini file type (configuration file) of 1kb, EDIT this at the video section change it from 800 by 640 to 1280 by 1024 (Aka your resolution). NB . If your game crashes alot, reduce this resolution slightly from 1280 to 1250, 1024 to 994
(Trouble may arise to save this for administrator, make a copy in your documents then edit, then paste back into file and override admin)
Download the graphics path from http://www.stuffhost.de/files/cnc/ and patch as instructed
Download http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html zip file and extract files in documents:-
ddrawl.dll - Move this to the same folder that has Game.exe in
aqrit.cfg - Edit with notepad and turn on ( replace 0 with 1) the following options:
NoVideoMemory = 1
forcedirectdrawemulation = 1
Save+Copy this new file to folder with Game.exe in
Run from shortcut and they need you commander! Kane Lives!
Done!
I hope this helps anyone and saves them searching time!
