Please check the FAQ sticky first. Also don't forget to run wwconfig and game.exe in admin mode.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Download this: http://apb.game-maps.net/index.php?action=file&id=523

Run it, only select "WOLAPI", when it asks for the file path delete the one that is there and enter this one: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Internet
then install, then it should work after that is done I believe.

Note: For the stand-alone version of Renegade change it to: C:\Westwood\Renegade\Internet

The download I provided? No it isn't it is just basically the same thing that is on the stand-alone renegade, but if you were to have stand-alone renegade you would not need this since it is already on the disk.

I install the C&C TFD and renegade still dont work some of the other like corrupted files on vista.other C&C TFD games do have problems too.

I dont think its vista compatible

I have this exact same problem on my laptop. The strange thing is, I have Renegade up and running on my PC perfectly fine using the very same TFD disc and same installation methods, except that I manually installed the core patches on my PC. My PC and Laptop both run the same version of Vista. Yet my laptop keeps giving me this Westwood online error as well, and I can't comprehend why it would work on my PC but not here.

I MIGHT be willing to uninstall TFD Renegade and try using my original Renegade version. On my PC, I tried those CDs first but encountered some wierd problems, so I uninstalled them and used the TFD Renegade install. Maybe those Westwood components from the older Renegade stayed and fixed the TFD version? Then again that's a long shot because old Renegade and TFD Renegade install into different folders.

I've also been trying that, but I can't figure out what exaclty it is you want me to download. Both this link and the one in the FAQ lead to the site's homepage, not a specific file.

Ermmm hmmmm you need the APB free dedicated server, and then install the WOL components through it.

I updated the link it should work now: http://apb.game-maps.net/index.php?action=file&id=523

Here are the instructions again also:

EDIT: Link above isn't valid anymore, here's another one, same instructions:

Since the APB 9935 FDS download was removed from the database the links dont work anymore, use this one instead:

http://www.game-maps.net/downloads/apb/fds/APathBeyond9935FDS.exe

When isntalling choose to install the WOLAPI only.
