I have installed it on my Vista 64 and it crashes right after the splash screen. I am running it in Compatibility mode and as Administrator. I can't seem to find the problem. It seems to be hit and miss with Vista.

I have also updated to the latest version.

Can anyone else run it? Did you do anything special?

Bump

Seems like an old game that just won't run on Vista. It won't be the first, nor the last...

 

[IEATFISH]

Yeah, it happens. I was just hoping in my heart. I may just have to play on my wife's XP laptop.

Will it work if you right click on the executable, choose properties, then the compatibility tab and run it in XP mode or such?

No, and I have read a lot of things on google and CnC boards. It seems like hit and miss. I was hoping someone here had got it working and could give me some specific steps to fix it. It may be more work than it is worth, I am afraid.

Yah my guess is you may be out of luck using Vista64, I bet you'd have no problem with Vista32.

yeah ive got 32bit vista an had no problem playin it. 64bit vista has hell of a lot of issues with so many games.

I play this from the CnC Decades game. Works fine on my vista x64 for me.

Did you have to do anything besides compatibility mode or administrator? Did you install the the shared internet components?

 

[Black Magix]

I dont believe I did. Just ran the installer and unchecked all the gamespy crap. doubled clicked the decades icon and clicked on renegade. Works fine for me.

Hmm, I think running Renegade using the Decades thing may have worked for you, but I don't think running Renegade by itself is working.

I would ask you to try limiting your RAM to 3.5 GB, but you apparently are using 3GB of ram...

Reinstall and run under XP or maybe even an older compatibility mode, running as admin all the time.

You'll want the Westwood shared stuff - Multiplayer is fun as hell.

I haven't tried Renegade in a while, and not after I reformatted and installed Vista 64, so if you can't get it working, I'm going to be real pissed I can't play one of my favorite games anymore.
