Many of the biggest changes in this release were focused around the in-development Tiberian Sun mod, which continues to make slow progress in their development repository. There are many great changes for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn, and Dune 2000 too, focusing mainly around streamlining some awkward gameplay mechanics, improving community integration, and improving our singleplayer content:
- Support for Discord integration and community-run ladders
- New lobby features for player handicaps and disabling spawn points
- Community balance updates and a refreshed map selection for Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn
- Further adjustments to make Dune 2000 more faithful to the original game
- More fluid infantry combat after fixing several long-standing combat bugs
- Nine more campaign missions have been ported for Red Alert
- Improved AI behaviour and performance
The full changelog is available here. It's really a long list of changes.
It is worth mentioning that the system prerequisites to run this version (and the future ones) has raised. Your video card must support either OpenGL 3.2, DirectX 11 or OpenGL ES 3. Moving away from the legacy OpenGL 2.1 is important for future compatibility with modern rendering APIs (Vulkan/Metal) and for improving rendering performance with Tiberian Sun and the C&C Remastered Collection. This does unfortunately mean dropping support for some older systems (typically 10+ years old) that currently can run OpenRA.
Finally, if you visit their site, you may notice a big change there thanks to the efforts of @Fauntleroy. It is looking good, more modern and it seems to be more confortable for mobile visitors. And that's all for now. Grab this version at their download section, have fun and provide them some feedback, if possible.
