Crosmando: Anyone here own the C&C Ultimate Collection on Origin, is it decent? I'm still using my C&C the first decade disc.

darthspudius: I've got it and it works for the most part. The first two games have a few issues but fan patches helped there. I'd honestly stick with the DVD haha.
Also I'd rather wait for Tiberium Sun and RA2 support to come to OpenRA.

I'm one of the happy owners. Earlier games may not work properly even with fan patches already included by EA. I had to search Origin forums to discover the way to tame the in-game mouse cursor. Overall it's a good package, especially if you're a fan of Westwood Studios games.

timppu: Yeah, first I was like "why would they do this?", but then generating threads and discussions is one way to gain reputation points in this forum. Bot accounts need reputation too, in order to spam malware links and shit.

I downvoted the original message, just to be sure. Of course if it is a genuine user, too bad, but still a wrong site/forum.
Why would anyone create a raging bot to gain a reputation. What are the chances for good outcome? Can't they create just ordinary "good weather" or "this game is great" bots?

I own The Ultimate Collection and love it (all except the unplayable piece of garbage that is C&C4 that is).
I love being able to play all the old games (if you haven't played C&C Renegade you absolutely should, its a great game. Oh and if you do want to play it on modern OSs, download the unofficial patch from www.tiberiantechnologies.org since it helps a lot with modern OS compatibility as well as adding all kinds of neat features (I am the lead developer of that unofficial patch)
Seriously, how to get TFD work on Windows 10?
I own the DVD and would like to revisit RA2 sometime.

Follow this to the letter and you should be all set.

Worked for me.

EDIT:
The unofficial patch itself is not enough to get all the games working properly (someone linked it above my post). I had to follow the guide carefully and when done, I had fully working First Decade on Win 10.

Thanks, so do Bigs, it works again.
Used to applied unofficial patch only back in XP days...
However I have to set compatibility mode (Vista) the get RA2 working, and Yuri work just fine following the guide.

EDIT:
Somehow RA2 doesn't work again. Need to turn on troubleshooting and set compatibility again. It run for while and then freeze at random...

The newer games are okay. The older ones have serious issues, especially graphics-wise. Red alert 2 and yuri's revenge are almost unplayable, but we discussed here few years ago, about certain patches that fix that. The Ra2/Yuri fanmade multiplayer restore, though, is a mess, because they cut off game content, like use of superweapons (no option to turn them on/off, only removal from gameplay).

I want it on GOG, though. It would make the perfect addition, here. This and early GTA titles. Can't wait for this day...

I personally used the XWIS' fixes (one of the legacy solutions). I have no need for multiplayer and it seemed like the easiest fix. And it worked fine.

Irwin_Sprague: i WENT AND BOUGHT THE GAME THINKING IT WOULD BE ON DISK AND FOUND OUT IT WASEN'T i HAD TO DOWNLOAD IT FROM ORGIN SITE THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. AND NOW i WENT BACK TO DOWN LOAD ALL THE GAMES . AND FOUND OUT MY CODE IS NOT VALID ANY MORE. NOT GOOD I paid for the games now what ??
I wouldn't have a problem with you going to a torrent site and torrenting it if you indeed paid for a copy.

(Also all caps isn't helping your point here....try using bold and underlining post brackets if you need to emphasize something)

Does that version(first decade) even run all the games with no issues on modern systems? I think I had it long ago(and lost the disc) and it had timing issues where map timers would run way too fast.

Seriously, it is high time this series hit GOG store, already. Is it too niche??? Diablo's already here, so, what's the excuse?

Didn't the dev who made it close up shop or get bought by some other dev or publisher? That could be why.

It's pretty much the only reason one would have an Origin account for if one doesn't drool for the latest Battlefields and Apex Legendses etc.

Plus, TibDawn and RA1 are getting remastered right now, so we'll see.

Yeah... Other than C&C bunch and Plants VS Zombies GOTY (probably one or two older Popcap titles as well), Origin is completely useless. I very grudgingly keep it around. Doubly so, since those games don't have optimization for modern systems by default, much like the packaging GOG offers.

I guess you must have forgotten about Mass Effect and Titanfall 2 :P
