Please NOTE that the installer might appear to be "non responsive" when installing, just leave it running, it is actually busy extracting the files.
Please NOTE that when you run the GAME for the FIRST time it may take a long time for it to load up and become unresponsive, just be patient :)

Installation
Run the Tiberium_Crystal_War_Beta_v1.30.exe installation and follow the onscreen instructions. NOTE: The installer may appear to be unresponsive, just give it a few minutes to complete installing.

VERY IMPORTANT:
You must install the VC Redist which starts when installing Tiberium Crystal War.
You must install the DirectX update which starts after the initial TCW installation completes.
Your pc (XP systems mostly) must have Microsoft .NET Framework installed or the Launcher will not work.
Download it here: Microsoft.com

Configuring Tiberium Crystal War Graphics and Sound
Please run the Configure Tiberium Crystal War shortcut in your Startmenu and configure your options as you see fit.
Note that if it is the first time you run the config it may not save your settings right away. Launch the game, then exit it, and run the config again. It will save the settings on exit.
