I STILL can't get C&C3 to work...can't even get passed the initial installation process...

Error1316. A network error occured while attempting to read from the file E:\cnc3std.msi

i returned it and got another copy but still the same shit...so annoyed

i hope i don't have any problems with Red Alert, though...i agree with you on RA2...awesome and fun game!

I have a beta key for RA3 however I need to download it and so far havn't done so..... Seeing as it releases in a month I may not bother and just get the full game.

For it to succeed in my book it just needs to be non-buggy. C&C3 and kane's wrath expansion was so buggy to the point I raged and uninstalled it a month ago to never play it again. With EA taking over all the companies that make decent games and then monopolising and marketing the new games it makes for alot of mediocrity..... I hope RA3 is something that EA does a good job with :dry:

nah mate it didn't have any viruses on it...... but then again I did buy it when I was in taipei and all the instructions are in chinese :(

but yeah it had issues especially on kane's wrath whereby if you ran a different resolution from what you were running in windows it would crash randomly - this was a common problem that could only be fixed by changing in game resolution to your windows one (only reason I was running a lower ingame resolution was to improve frames per second as it was a big slow at times).

Another issue I had was if I ran a skirmish game with any more than 3 computer AI opponents it would crash before starting. Alot of other people on gaming forums had the same problems as me and EA did nothing about it.

My computer is about 3 years old but with upgrades etc. it does sit above the minimum specifications by a fair bit so theoretically it shouldn't have any issues. That said the resolution/crashing issue was reported by people with top of the line systems with 8800 gfx cards......

Anyhoo I hope RA3 is better :D

RA2 wasn't that bad tbh

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
