Incendia_: The resolution problems alone prevent me from playing the game
Game: TA:CP
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
What is the res of your screen?
TA was unique as it supported HD 1920x1080 natively when it was released over 10 years ago.

Game works OK for me (win7 64bit) though Core mission 1 (where you reactivate your Commander) is bit broken .. can't scroll to some of the map edges. All other missions in TA and Core Contingency worked fine.

This game works just fine for me....Win 7 64 bit. Maybe you need to reformat?

I know when I have tried to install older games and they do not work it is manly due to my computer needing cleaning.

Yeah just got this about half an hour ago and it is fine on Vista 32x

Amazing that it supports widescreen natively, what a beast.
GOG should probably use the desktop screen-size as the default one in the game after you install.
Playing 640x480 isn't always the greatest thing. :P

But it should be easy to simply increase it in the game options when you first play though.

Incendia_: I was wrong. The resolution problems alone prevent me from playing the game, and windowed mode is terrible. I honestly though GoG took old games and fixed them up to work well on current operating systems, yet I have the exact same problems with this version as I do my old boxed copy. Flickering, inverted colors, window placement in windowed mode, mouse displacement in windowed mode, etc.

This wasn't even worth buying :/

Same here with the same O.S. except I've lost my good old features (CTRL+SHIFT to queue up 100 units, SHIFT+X to build lines of buildings, etc.
I can not get back my Swedish Yankspankers stuff back

On the top, enabling the music then clicking on PLAY starts an UNSTOPPABLE music : Clicking on STOP won't stop it at all, even by clicking on DISABLE MUSIC !
I've had to disable it and to quit the game in order to stop the music...

I SEEK HELP:

WIndows 7, 64-bit - cannot get the TA Kingdoms to show the map or characters. It's black, though I can see the controls/options in-game.

(I tried downloading a Codec (K-Lite) and used the third Rendering option (software MMX) which at least gave the opening intro video (which is otherwise blank) but still no content in the field of view in-game. It's all black.

*Note: another old game (Warlords Battlecry 3) has a similar issue when using the CD- in that case it shows the map in the content portion of in-game, but no buildings (just a circle where units are highlighted).
**Picture- lacks blue as I'm using f.lux to reduce blue-light (good for sleeping when I'm meant to! Doesn't affect game).
