C&C Renegade crashes after launch

[mralexs5]

It might have something to do with the main menu or trying to load a BIK video

Hey,
doesnt seem like it has todo with the BIK Videos.
I tried bypassing the Intro via tiberium technologies and it still freezes.

Describe the bug

Game freezes on  startup.
Remix Version 0.1.1
RTX 2070  Super
531.18.0
EA Play/Origin English version with tiberium technologies 4.8

The following logs are with tiberium technologies 4.8 installed as remix didnt even try to attach without it.
NvRemixBridge.log
game2_d3d9.log
d3d9.log

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install Renegade via EA Play.
Install tiberium technologies 4.8 from https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads
Disable Intro Movie (to bypass the BIK Video files if that would been an issue) in the Renegade Launcher.
Start via UAC/game2.exe
Freeze at Welcome to RTX Remix.

Someone on Reddit was able to make it launch but it has issues, I myself have not been able to reproduce their success

The person on reddit is using a CD version whereas the issues may be springing up from using the Origin edition of the game

Yes.
Seems like the Origin DRM is the issue. I sadly dont have a retail Version of Renegade anymore.
So we can confirm that the Issue is the Origin DRM. I wonder if there is a fix for that in the end.

When I was testing it I used the fixed launchers which theoretically strip most of Origin out of the exe, I might drop a nocd exe into it and see what happens. What's odd though is that C&C Generals launches, albeit rather unstablely

[mralexs5]

So with the Tiberian Technologies patch which makes the game run in DX9, the log reports this message
warn: Message channel UWM_REMIX_BRIDGE_REGISTER_THREADPROC_MSG handshake timeout. Retrying...
game2_d3d9.log
It establishes when the game is closed though

[Rmurray2006]

threadSafetyPolicy = 2 in the bridge config might do it

[mralexs5]

So with the CD version I've gotten the ALT-X menu to appear but clicking does nothing

[mralexs5]

Using the fix in the RTX Remix discord, I was able to get the remix menu to work. So far, this is only working with the CD Copy of Renegade with a No-CD hack applied. The Ultimate Collection version still has issues with Remix.

Can you try with an nvidia driver before 522?

Hello! Will you please test this on the latest release and let us know if the issue persists? Thank you!
