A new stable release of OpenRA has become available. 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 release notes for this release can be found below.

Release 20180218 now available
We are excited to announce the first OpenRA release of this year! Over 700 commits from 43 contributors were merged over the last six months, with each commit helping to fix bugs, improve code quality, or add new features that improve the single- and multi-player experience.The main focus of this development cycle was modernizing core parts of the engine and game code to support the work-in-progress Tiberian Sun mod and other community projects. Thanks to our contributors, and to everybody who tested the playtest and reported bugs! Please note that changes to the way hotkeys are managed mean you will need to redefine any custom hotkeys in the Input settings.The changes weren’t all behind the scenes; an overhaul of the multiplayer UI added long-requested features:

• The server browser shows the name/faction/team of connected players
• The server browser is now also available as a tab in the server lobby
• The main menu and server browser will notify you if a new release is available
• The Global Chat has been removed from the server browser and lobby
• A chat dialog has been added to the in-game menu

Of course, we realize that the vast majority of OpenRA players do not play online. We haven’t forgotten about you either! Improvements for the single player experience include:

• The full Harkonnen campaign in D2K
• Refinements and improvements to several campaign missions in Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn
• A fix for the AI ​​cheating when it uses superweapons and support powers
• Several other changes that should improve the AI ​​behavior and performance

Other notable changes include:

• New lobby options to disable bounty, build radius, and re-packing Construction Yards
• Units will no longer target enemies revealed by the Red Alert GPS Satellite
• A collection of community-driven balance changes for Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn
• Fixes for many graphical glitches and polish issues
• Fixes for several platform integration issues on Windows and macOS
• Further improvements to memory usage and performance

As always, we suggest you read the full changelog if you’d like more information on the full list of changes.
