----------------
It sounds like some of you are experiencing problems downloading or applying the patch. Specifically, there appear to be two separate issues, one regarding not being able to fully install the patch, and the other with not being prompted to download the patch when you go online.
The issue that’s interrupting the patching process midway through the installation process seems to be caused by an outdated patchw32.dll file. If you have experienced this problem, please do the following:
1. Go to C: \Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\ or the directory that you chose to install the game to
2. In this install directory, find the file that ends with “1.1.SkuDef” and delete it. For users who bought the game in North America, this file is called CNC3_english_1. 1. SkuDef. For users who bought the game elsewhere, the file will have your respective region’s language in the actual file name.
3. Go to C:\Windows\ and find the file called patchw32.dll and rename it to patchw32_BAK.dll. If you don’ t find the file in this directory, then check C: \Windows\System\.
4. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USER NAME]\Local Settings\Temp and find the file called patchw32.dll and rename it to patch32_BAK. dll
NOTE: It’s possible that you may only find one instance of patchw32.dll in any of these three directories – don’t worry if that’s the case.
Upon following these steps, you should attempt to reinstall the patch by either going Online in the game or by pressing the Check for Updates button on the Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Control Center. You should be able to completely patch to version 1.1 at this point.
The second issue that we’re tracking is one that’s preventing a certain number of people from downloading the patch altogether. When we upload a new patch to our server, it gets triggered for download automatically any time a user attempts to go online in our game. However, the file that causes this “trigger mechanism” appears to be getting cached on proxy servers and intermediate routers, thus preventing certain users’ games from recognizing that a patch update is available for download.
If you have experienced this problem, we will be releasing a self- extracting patch within the next 12-24 hours that can be installed manually, and doesn’t rely on being downloaded automatically. We’ll have an updated ETA later tonight.
Once again, thank you for being patient with us, and we apologize for the somewhat rough launch.
- Predator

Hopefully this is helpful to those of you experiencing these issues.

Hmm, I have patchw32.dll only in my cnc3 directory. It did not help to rename it either.

|

Hi,
After some time ingame, it freezes. Unable to move the mouse, no sound, impossible to exit or kill the prog, only way out is to hard reset the computer. It only happens during the actual combat, never in menues or videos.
It freezed before the patch and it does so after. I've got the mountable version, clonegame, so no cracks or anything.
I've got an Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 2gb ram, 8800 GTS, Creative XFI Music, all with the latest drivers and the rest of the game runs fine. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Anyone else manage to play with more then just one player via hamachi? As soon as we try to play with 3 or more players everyone gets some strange time-out message.

Anyone else have a problem with the game keeping stats, transmission logs, ect. after restarting the game. Everytime I quit and start the game over all that stuff is back to nothing so I am unable to view past videos or those information things you get during a mission.

I do save the game, even when I load it, all that stuff from before I restarted the game disappears.
So this doesn't happen to you? I was thinking maybe the crack was causing the problem, cause I haven't read anyone else have this problem on the official forum.

Am I the only one having sound problems, game is playing fine then all a sudden the sound disappears during briefing (when choosing a location to fight). When and if this happens then exiting the game is usually having to be done by alt + ctrl + delete.

Simple: less hassle and less space used (even if you keep the original files backup)
As for Vista, everything work fine here under home preminum x32 with admin account. Gives an error sometimes on exit but heh, it not bothering me beyond bringing down my reliability score.

uh theres no hassle in mounting a mini image and being able to update and not wait for cracks. if anythign its MORE of a hassle to wait for a stupid crack everytime an update comes out. if ppl are too dumb to know how to use a mini image then thats thier problem. and i never said the game didnt run in vista i said it didnt make shortcuts, which it doesnt for anyone, it just installs everything in the games explorer. gonna have to get used to that i guess. and the games exp shortcut wasnt working becuase i disabled the ugly shortcut arrows
