Hello,

I have bought Command & Conquer First Decade. Played Renegade 3-4 years ago.. and it's the only reason I bought the game.

I've jumped through bells and whistles to get the patch (1.037) applied.

I tested it, logged on to Westwood.. and bam, could jump right in.

Remembering that I needed Renguard, I downloaded the latest version - and went right to installing.

When I try to start Renegade, I get "Error verifying startup parameters"

I'm running RenGuard 1.0323, and Renegade 1.037.

Thanks for any help. Really looking forward to playing this game again.

Try reinstalling following this guide: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=24533&start=0&rid=2 1525

PS. The First Decade version of Renegade does not require the 1.037 patch and it messes up Ren if you install it.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm actually running Linux, and using WINE to run Renegade. The game itself works with the 1.37 patch. Never tried to just run 1.00. Perhaps I should try to install just 1.0, and then Renguard on top of that?

Renguard won't function on Linux, you'll have to play without it.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Doesn't running Ren on Wine give you a lot of FPS-lag?

Yeah, sorry. It's the runtime execution protection thingy, relies on Windows specific calls or something similar. Mac has a version that runs on Linux, but won't release it because it has no protection. Just wait for TT's patch 1.038. Sorry.

So patch 1.038 will run it? Ok.

I don't get any lag for my FPS.

I guess it depends.. Lowest I usually ever see is 25-30... highest I ever see is about 75-80. Just depends.

I'm running an AMD 5400 w/ 4gb of ddr2 ram and an 8500gt.....

I see comparable FPS in Windows.. infact, I think I get higher FPS in Linux as opposed to Windows. I should go test that right now

Ok.

In Windows, at idle.. I get a solid 60fps, and it never budges.

Running debian/wine, I get a solid 95fps at idle.

In Windows, during the game.. I get anywhere from 54-65fps.. and it never budges much past that.

Running debian/wine, I get 24-88fps..

It appears, at idle, wine runs it a lot better. But once you start getting a lot of characters/moving graphics, etc.. Wine just can't compare. I'm still not going to reboot to Widnows just to play the game. I'll just stay away from Infantry.
