Hey everyone! I hope you are doing fine, despite the awful worldwide situation. COVID pandemic and this kind of stuff. Today is that day of the year that we love to pull a prank, but, considering the amount of fake news that is being posted daily and the damage that they are doing, we won't post a prank this time. I guess that the fact that a news post is being posted here may look like a joke for some of you since our news has been quiet for a while. Anyway, let's get into the business.

The OpenRA developpers have posted a new PlayTest edition of OpenRA a couple of days ago. The main changes include:


- The return of the ability to use right-click orders and scrolling at the same time

- A fix for aircraft not taking off when no rally point is set

- Further pathfinding improvements for infantry

- Adaptations to the weather overlay for smooth scrolling

- Reworked airstrip exits in Tiberian Dawn to prevent traffic jams

- Fixed spice bloom behavior in Dune 2000

- Two additional campaign missions for Tiberian Dawn and one more mission for Dune 2000
