Is this supposed to happen when I press insert?

We suspect that you are using a pirated/cracked copy of the Command & Conquer games. Please correct us if we are wrong.

We are unable to provide support to pirated/cracked copies of the C&C games due to us having to follow Discords and EA ToS. Furthermore, many cracked installs come with a multitude of unpredictable issues that render many of our mainline fixes non functional.

The games are nowadays only sold as part of The Ultimate Collection on Steam and EA App, containing all mainline C&C-entries and their expansions. They often go on sale for less than 7 euros.

Please buy the games from a legal store, show us that you did and we will give you support again:

• Steam (recommended): https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/
• EA App: https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-the-ultimate-collection/buy/pc
