Command & Conquer, sometimes known as Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, is a 1995 real-time strategy video game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive. Set in an alternate history of modern day, the game tells the story of a world war between two globalized factions: the Global Defense Initiative of the United Nations and a cult-like militant organization called the Brotherhood of Nod, led by the mysterious Kane. The groups compete for control of Tiberium, a mysterious substance that slowly spreads across the world.

Install instructions

Once installed, go to the folder and run the Troubleshoot Compatibility on C&C95 Application file by right clicking on the file.

If you are using a widescreen HD monitor I recommend selecting resolution 1600×900.

Unzip the Movies and place them in the C&C installation folder.

Some important notes on the hi-res:

The first campaign missions for each side will be smaller than the screen resolution, which gives some odd graphical bugs. Most of these are fixed by just touching the edge of the screen with your cursor (to scroll) and then opening and closing the main menu.

Since C&C missions get bigger as you progress through the campaign, these problems will be completely gone after mission #3 (unless you play in a resolution higher than 1024×768).

Some graphical bugs may appear when loading a savegame from a different resolution which doesn’t have the sidebar opened. Simply opening the sidebar fixes these bugs.

There’s a small bug in hi-res mode which prevents you from placing buildings with a height of one cell on the lowest row of cells on the map. This rarely gives any real problems though.

If you don’t want to play in hi-res, simply open CCConfig.exe and change back to 640×400 or 640×480.
