They must've fixed it - it works fine on my system.  BTW, I've been
playing the one where you start off with two commandoes and an
engineer, and I keep getting my butt kicked bigtime!  Even after
getting 2 crates with $$$, and selling off a communications center
that my engineer captured, GDI keeps on killing me off with his Ion
Cannon strikes and Mammoth Tank/Missile Launcher/Medium Tank combined
attacks.  Any suggestions?

Fnord.
