Install cnc-draw from https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw
Unable to allocate primary video buffer - aborting
[cnc-draw](https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw) is a sweet way to restore the game, nice work! Support those developers.
Ended up installing cnc-draw via Protontricks
The game stutters in full screen mode when the Steam Overlay displays a notification toast, as soon as the toast is finished speed is restored. Ways around it are maximised window, windowed, or turning off steam overlay.
I tried with command line before using cnc-draw, in the end I was able to remove the command parameters and just use cnc-draw with Proton9.0(beta) and Proton8-05.
Install cnc-draw by:
- Copying the files into the game directory
- Use Protontricks to open Explorer for that game
- Run cnc-draw.exe
I'd do this cnc-draw patch as soon as the game doesn't launch, as messing around with configs might prevent cnc-draw from working correctly.

Does not run very stable and not very well without tweaks.
i play this the old way in wine and then use lutris i have so much more control that way
Installed https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw
when you play it like i does and use lutris then you need to go to Runner Options and under Dll overwrite you need to put ddrew.dll into key and n into the value since wineoverrides command dont work with lutris
