I try to record some stuff and ask Voh to make a proper presentation video. Thanks for the reply.

You need to play on Gameranger or Hamachi. I never had problems playing it online though.

Nostalgia to the max. I played this game back in 1996 or something before Core Contigency was released. I found the campaign too difficult to play as I was wayyyyy too young to play an RTS game properly.

On the TA Zero forum is a thread with replays. Unfortunatly there are not too many yet and the level of play isnt that high aswell. It might show the flow and some BOs of the game though.

Sounds like you have installed the Patch Resources to the wrong location (and therefore the Patch itself and any mod would have followed to that wrong location).

The Patch Resources will attempt to detect your game location during install, but if your game did not get installed properly (like if you just copy/pasted the game folder to your computer, also sometimes those old CD installers just fail to properly register the game install with Windows, and the Amazon.com digital download version also doesn't install properly) then the proper location won't be found and it will just select the default of C:\Cavedog\TotalA. You need to ensure that you install the Patch Resources to your actual game folder as it says during the installation process.

So you should go to the Control Panel and uninstall both the Patch and Patch Resources and all mods, then reinstall the Patch Resources to the correct location.

You only need TA, Core Contingency is not necessary.

What speed is this game traditionally played on? The difference between default and fastest is massive.
