Software update: OpenRA 20190302

OpenRA is an open source and cross platform clone of Dune 2000 and the Command and Conquer titles Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert. The basic parts, which are sufficient to play the game, can be downloaded from the internet. You do need the original CD for all parts such as music and videos. OpenRA has some improvements over the original games. For example, they can be played in a higher resolution and multiplayer games can be played against players on other platforms. The developers have released a new playtest version with 20190302 as the version number.

Playtest 20190302

We are today pushing a new build that addresses a number of issues discovered in playtest-20190209. The changes in playtest-20190302 are:

• Fixed target cursor issues with buildings under the fog
• Fixed inconsistent “Unit Ready” audio notifications
• Fixed harvesters moving to empty resource fields when unloading
• Fixed turrets “twitching” when targeting enemies at their maximum range
• Fixed a collection of map and mission issues in Red Alert
• Implemented community-driven balance changes for Red Alert

We expect this to be our final release candidate, which will be repackaged as a new release before the end of March if no further regressions are found.

Head on over to our download page to grab the new playtest, and prepare for battle!
