Game wont start after map pack instal (R24 all in one)

Did you check the option Visual C++ in the CNC-online Tacitus installer?
If not reinstall Tacitus and check that option.

For some users that doesn’t fix it so here’s
Option 2
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
This is a package with the official Microsoft runtimes.

Option 3
If that did not work you could try to replace the cnc3ep1.dat inside your folder

\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\RetailExe\1.2

and

\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\RetailExe\1.3

Unzip the file cnc3ep1.zip and replace the cnc3ep1.dat in both folders

I never told you to open a .dat file, you need to replace it with the existing file.

So you find the existing cnc3ep1.dat and replace it with the one i gave you.

[NoHandedApe]

So just delete the existing file and replace with what you supplied?
