Yeah, I know, that was me. The only reason I went on here is because it seems like no one wants to tell me any thing when I post my own, so I came on here.

Yes, you will need C&C 3 for the assets. You could buy C&C 3 and then use world builder until you get a better PC, I guess.

you need more memory than min spec if you want to do anything more than lag, I have min spec and I just can't be bothered to wait for it to stop flashing 'windows virtual memory too low' and lag. luckerly I am getting some more memory at the weekend so my game won't keep crashing 😃

I haven't seen anyone post with the same issues I am having.

I have the WorldBuilder installed (that all went fine) ... but when I try to edit a map thru the MapManager, or fire it up directly, it doesn't load.
I have reinstalled the worldbuilder several times, and it always does the same thing :(

I have to bring up the task-manager to close it, and it always says .. "Program not responding"
Any ideas or suggestions?

Here's what I get.. everytime :(


I just tried it again, and let it sit there for a good 15 minutes or so, just to see what it did on it's own.. and this is the error message I got (in text):

"I'm sweating like a lesbian eattin a hotdog!"

How much RAM do you have?

---

System spec's are as follows:

WinXp Professional (SP2/IE7)
Intel Core2 Duo 6600 (2.4Ghz)
2g OCZ Platinum DDR2-800 (3-3-3-12)
xFx 8800GTS (320Mb)
320g Sata 3.0
700W Thermatake PSU (54amp total)
... and some other stuff, that shouldn't matter (or make a difference)

---

I take it no one else is having this problem?

/bangs head on wall!

---

No idea. Might want to reinstall worldbuilder.

---

World Builder can certainly take a long time to open - sometimes several minutes. I haven't seen anyone with that error message, though. You don't have DeeZire's Wall mod installed by any chance, do you?

---

I don't have any mods at all installed for CnC3.. nada
I have tried several times to re-install the WorldBuilder, and everytime I try to open it... it freezes up, or I get errors 😞

I guess I just wasn't meant to make Über maps 😎

---

One thing you could try perhaps is disabling any anti-virus programs you have running while attempting to launch World Builder. There's a chance this will make it load faster, and it might even get rid of that nasty error.

Just a guess, though.

---

I appreciate the help, again, MicScoTho ... but I don't have any anti-virus programs installed on my gaming rig 😮
I wish I did though, cuz that would be an easy fix.
