Testing

If you are interested in testing the latest Vinifera preview and nightly builds, you will need an unmodded installation of Tiberian Sun;

-- Freeware Tiberian Sun Release (recommended):
Tiberian Sun was released as freeware by Electronic Arts in 2010 as a part of a promotional build-up to the release of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. You can download the official Freeware TS release which also contains the Firestorm expansion here (make sure to follow the instructions in the description to install correctly):

-- Install Tiberian Sun From CDs:
Below are direct links to the Tiberian Sun disk images (English (US) only);
GDI Disk: https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/the-game/gdi-disc
NOD Disk: https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/the-game/nod-disc
Firestorm Disk: https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/the-game/firestorm-disc
Note: These disk images can be mounted as virtual drives using a variety of free programs.

You will then need to update the game to the latest version (English [US] v2.03). You can download the patch here; https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/patches/2.03

-- CNC-DDraw
If you have issues with running the game, you may also need to use the CNC-DDraw replacement;
