Make sure to lower the in-game resolution to at least 1920x1080, otherwise many maps will be too large to fit on the screen and units will appear too small to be efficiently controlled.

Global warming.

CRAFTSMAN is clearly a well-trained mapper.

I can't reproduce this issue.
Try deleting the map renderer folder (\Map Editor\Map Renderer) and then forcing an update (you can find the "Force Update" button under the "Updater" tab of the client's options menu) so that the folder gets restored; then see if the map renderer works again.

I indeed overlooked that; it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.

Blunt? Are you saying that they need to be sharp? 🤨

It took some effort but I eventually managed to figure out the cause of the crash: a coding error from Westwood in the mission's map file was conflicting with one of the client's patches. This is now fixed in version 6.05c.

Thanks for the report, I'll investigate this when I get the chance (I assume that you actually meant Nod mission 7a: Destroy the Research Facility).

Thanks for pointing this out; it's fixed now.

1- If you intend to modify the client's files, you can enable ModMode to disable updates as well as the "cheater" message. To do this, open \Resources\ClientDefinitions.ini with a text editor and change ModMode=false to ModMode=true.

2- you can't just apply any old mod and expect it to work without making modifications to it. Exactly which mod are you applying?

I've also added all changes since version 5.30 to the description now.

Which operating system are you using?

Not without losing all of DTA's maps, which would be quite a demotivator.
Maybe if a TS Remaster ever gets made...

It's possible that scaling is disabled in your GPU's settings (for Nvidia you'd find that in Nvidia Control Panel > Select Scaling Mode > make sure "Aspect Ratio" is selected there and then click Apply.

Sorry for the late response; in case you still need help with this, just lower your in-game resolution if you want things to look larger in full-screen mode.

You can either go to Options, Updater and then click "Force Update" or just delete ECache99.mix from the MIX folder manually.

It was indeed, but we noticed that many players often solely turned that option on for the sake of making resources not harm infantry and this had the effect that Rampastring described of making areas of maps that were designed with tiberium in mind look strange.

Have you tried using a low resolution with different renderers? You might get a sharper result with a different renderer (1600x900 looks fine on a 1080p monitor for me with cnc-ddraw for example).

The dog uses the original sounds, although 2 of the sounds that you hear half the time were unused in the original game. I could make it so that you'll hear those sounds only 1/4th of the time instead, but it'd be a waste to entirely scrap them.

It seems unlikely to me that anyone would be allowed to take any assets from any OpenRA mod and use it as their own considering how disincentivizing that would be for the original creators of those assets, but putting that aside, DTA is not an OpenRA mod to begin with.

The AI's war factories intentionally aren't capturable because they wouldn't allow you to build the units from whichever faction the AI is playing as, which is a side-effect from a work-around to allow the AI to build vehicles and ships from different factories.

Red Alert seems to play either the crumble sound or the other one at random, while TD only played a single sound for all buildings that were destroyed.
I'm considering to remove the RA Crumble Sound option and to instead have the game play all 3 sounds (TD's building explosion, RA's crumble sound and RA's big building explosion) at random.

We actually did change it because everyone on the staff hated it for how it made the mechanic seem like a joke character compared to everything else in the game.

We recognize that some people do like it though, so we'll likely add an option to revert the old voice lines in a future update.

I don't recall giving you permission to use DTA's assets and I'm pretty sure you didn't receive permission for the assets you took from the other mods either.

I've done some tests, but from what I can tell it's inconsistent and whenever artillery units do move, it's only for 1-3 cells at most.

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce that specific issue. Do you know if there's a specific situation where it consistently happens?

For now I'll just try to give these units a slightly lower guard range (by 0.2 cells) than their weapon range and hope it'll make a difference.

Looks like disabling "Crushable Infantry" is what caused this. Thanks for pointing it out.

I can't reproduce that issue. Did you encounter this on a specific map?

DTA's client automatically checks for new updates whenever you launch it.
