  • R22 not supported on 32-bit

    Posted by dirtytoby on August 30, 2024 at 5:53 pm

    CnC is a 32-bit game. Unfortunately the R22 installer doesn’t work on 32-bit.

    Is there a source website so that I can report a bug? It’s a pretty ridiculous bug.

    32-bit OS is pretty old.

    I recommend to do the installation manually instead.

    If you need help with that let me know.

    Yes, please! I tried watching what the patcher was doing but I must have missed something because it didn’t seem to work (or it did and there’s no change to the reported version).

    In order to help i need to know the following.

    What version of the game do you have where did you bought it from, steam or EA app?

    What error do you get when you try to install it?

    It’s the Steam version. KW 1.02. It says something about “cannot access <file>”. Sorry, can’t remember without running through the tests again, but I can confirm it fails miserably on a 64-bit OS (Windows, Linux), and works fine on a 32-bit OS (Windows, Linux).

    Worst case scenario I can reinstall it on 64-bit, but I chose 32-bit for CnC because… it’s 32-bit. Trying to save a tiny amount of disk space.

    It works fine on 64-bit systems.

    It fails on 32-bit systems.

    I tested on Linux and Windows.

    Seems like you do not have administrator permissions.
    Because it cannot write the files to the directory.
    If you run the installer do you get some kind of message User account Control like in the picture below?
    Make sure if you use a antivirus it doesn’t block the installation, UAC.

    Try to install the patch manually in the link below.
    For the 64bit there is a 4gb patch, but since the 32bit system only support 4gb itself you can’t use the full 4 GB for the game.
    Not saying it will cause any problems but it could cause crashes on certain maps and custom maps.

    Extract the files in Command & Conquer 3 Kane’s Wrath folder like in picture below.

    The installation is indeed interrupted by UAC. I copied the relevant files over and it seems to have worked. Nice.
