Some games may require additional steps before they can be used with cnc-ddraw, on this page you'll find everything you need to know to set up problematic games.

 

Important

• The game must be set to fullscreen. To enable windowed mode, use cnc-ddraw config.exe instead
• cnc-ddraw does not support Direct3D games, the game must have a DirectDraw (Software) renderer
• If the game doesn't start at all or it's crashing, then please generate a debug log file and upload it.
