No issues starting the game trough Steam, or the desktop shortcut without CNC online.

I tried follow the LAUNCHER ISSUES with steam, hook it  up, but nothing happened, log file is empty.

 

if start it from CNC online, it shows the logo, and exits.

log file is: ERROR: game.dat process not found.

 

system: windows7 32bit in a virtual machine (parallels desktop, hosted in a Mac)

I tried different network settings, shared and bridged, neither works

 

but if I install it on a PC, it works, so the problem is the virtual machine?

 

please help

If you've done exactly everything as the common issues thread suggests, then try the following:

- set the C&C:Online launcher and the games' shortcuts to run as administrator from within the virtual machine
- check if your virtual machine has enough allocated RAM (at least 512 MB on a 32-bit OS for Tiberium Wars and 1 GB for Red Alert 3)
- check if you have all virtualization options enabled in your actual machine's BIOS (some computers come with those turned off by default)

Would you mind sharing that?

I have a strange hunch it's a modified steam_api.dll that tricks the game that it's running Steam, but isn't. That's a common guest in pirated Steam rips (and quite effective), so I'm not sure if we want to see that link.

Here is the patch 

 

put it in data folder and replace the same name file (back up first)

it is not steam_api.dll

but it is not recommended unless you have no way to run it through steam.
