Hi
Isolated the problem down to 4.0. After I install it I get a black screen when starting Renegade and a non-responsive program that needs to be shut down via task manager.
It's weird because Renegade always worked fine on this installation so I have tried reinstalling from scratch. Even got 3.4.4 working after replacing the bandtest.dll but still dribbling everywhere sadly.
Any help appreciated.
I would be willing to let a trusted member remote support me if needed.
Cheers!

I had this problem too. Turned out to be the latest Nvidia drivers; 306.23 works but with 310.61 or later it just hangs when you start the game.

Odd, I'm using 310.70 and it's working fine.

|

Just posting to confirm that it is driver related, as i just recently fresh installed windows.. the newest nvidia drivers are affecting the game from running properly.
Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate
Nvidia GTX 650
Before installing Renegade i had updated my card to 310.70 then
Installed Renegade, updated to 1.037 then to latest 4.0, Downloaded some files provided to me by zunnie, included dxsetup,vcredist, and dotnetfx40.. as i kept getting a black screen, he had no clue, so i did the only thing i could, rollback my drivers to 305.57 and voila it worked again!

turn on "Antialiasing - FXAA"
|
I added a new rule for C&C Renegade and turned on FXAA there.
Works. Thank you.

Windows 7? SP1? What series of card are you using?
|
Great, you guys worked around it. Could somebody please provide this information so it can be reproduced and actually fixed?

I had the same problem with the new driver but I managed to find the solution. You have to go to NVIDIA Control Panel and turn on "Antialiasing - FXAA"
It worked for me and I believe it should work for all of you as well.
|
Doesn't work for me.
