Twisted Insurrection (TI) is a critically acclaimed, standalone modification of Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™. It features a complete redesign of the original game, set in an alternate what-if? timeline where the Brotherhood of Nod was victorious during the first Tiberian War.
Along with the total overhaul of the original game's visuals, sound effects, and packing an all-new original soundtrack (featuring Frank Klepacki), Twisted Insurrection gives you an entirely new arsenal of forces to command in massive single- and multiplayer battles. Choose between the old rivals GDI and Nod, or pledge your allegiance to the futuristic GloboTech or the elusive Forsaken. Play over 50 brand new solo and co-op missions, covert operations, re-imagined Tiberian Dawn missions and more. Customize your game experience by choosing from dozens of game modes and options.
Installation is very simple. Just follow these three steps:
Pro tip: Twisted Insurrection uses an intermediary client app through which you can configure, set up and start the game. If you already have TI version 0.39 or later installed, you can update the mod via the update notification on the client.
*Twisted Insurrection is standalone, therefore it does NOT require Tiberian Sun to be installed. Attempting to install Twisted Insurrection on top of Tiberian Sun will NOT work.
No. Twisted Insurrection is standalone and runs by itself. You do not need Tiberian Sun or any other Command & Conquer game installed to play Twisted Insurrection. See the above warning.
Yes. Twisted Insurrection uses CnCNet which makes online play a breeze. First, make sure you are connected to the internet, then click the CnCNet button on the client main menu. Log in with your prefered username, and you will be sent to the Twisted Insurrection multiplayer lobby. There you can host and join games and chat with friends. You can also visit other CnCNet games' lobbies.
If you encounter any problems with CnCNet, seek help from the support channels on their website.
Here's a list of all our official channels:
We are always looking to improve the quality of Twisted Insurrection and squash any bugs that are left crawling around. If you have come across any issues or see anything that could be improved, please head over to one of our support channels and let us know as soon as you can:
Note: Please keep in mind that, as Twisted Insurrection is not a finished product, there may be a few placeholder relics from Tiberian Sun. These will be replaced in due time, but until then, please do not report placeholder graphics.
The game hasn't actually frozen, it's a rendering issue which causes the menu to become invisible. This is caused by an incompatible renderer. Exit the game, go to the client settings, and on the display tab, select a different renderer. The best renderer depends on your system setup, but CnC-DDraw and TS-DDraw support most modern systems.
This happens if you've installed Twisted Insurrection on your Tiberian Sun directory. TI is standalone, meaning you must install it on an empty folder. See Question #2 for more information.
ReShade is a post-processing visual effects utility that lets you modify and improve the game's visuals in real-time. You can tweak colors, lighting and apply various pre-defined visual effects (shaders) such as bloom and light rays.
To use ReShade in Twisted Insurrection, follow these steps:
Unfortunately the sidebar is one of the TS engine's many hardcoded limitations. Unless someone figures out how to reverse-engineer the sidebar, we have no way to change it.
Use MapTool's update profile to update it. You can access this tool in the Map Editor's Tools menu, or in the Map Editor folder in your TI directory.
After you've updated the map, open it in a text editor like Notepad, find the [Basic] section, then add this line under it:
GameModes=
List any game modes there that you want the map to appear in, e.g. GameModes=Default,Meat Grinder,Unholy Alliance,Twisted Dawn
Note that the it's written as GameModes. There may be an older key called GameMode which is redundant.
In this alternate timeline, CABAL evolved via a slightly different path. The smug AI is still the Nod equivalent to GDI's EVA, but not as independent as in Firestorm. As for the Scrin, it is unlikely they will make a direct appearance.
So much time and effort has gone into building TI on the TS engine, it's unlikely that we'll start over on unfamiliar grounds. At least not in the foreseeable future.
Generally no. Twisted Insurrection and all of its assets, with the exception of original Tiberian Sun assets and public assets as listed in the credits, are property of the Twisted Insurrection Team.

This is the result of a work-around developed to prevent the whiteboy-bug (named after the modder that discovered it), which crashes the game if there are more than 74 cameos available.
The work-around prevents these crashes, however it does so by capping the amount of cameos you can see in the sidebar. This is one of the reasons why tech content is not available in certain game modes.
This feature is already available, simply go into your client settings and enable the Individual Missions
option and enjoy. Note there will be some post score screen oddities when using this option.
You can typically fix the issue by going into your Map Editor directory and deleting the FinalTI.ini file. Then open FinalTI, you'll be met with a window asking you to find the path to your Game.exe. Find your primary TI directory and select the aforementioned exe. Once that is done your map editor should open as normal. If you continue to have issues please report the problem.
That's all for now. Hopefully these resolved any questions you might've had. If not, then feel free to reach us.

Dead game?
Any news?
Also, bring back the Tick Tank. TS is the only game where it is a unit. It is the most iconic unit, in my opinion, which isn't saying very much. But what is saying very much is, why does every TS mod/fan game completely remove the Tick Tank? It's the best unit in the game! Bring it back!
Something seriously needs to be done about the difficulty of the campaign. Even on the easiest settings most missions are nearly unbeatable, if down right impossible to all but the most "pro" of players. Many can't enjoy all the game has to offer and appreciate the well designed narrative. Not everyone is a super competitive player.
Keep the hard mode, let the competitive players have their challenge! But also let the casual players enjoy the game too. The competitive players don't play on easy anyways, why make it overly challenging?
Uffff... well. I played this mod years ago, I liked it, but it was really hard though. I thought I may give it another try after all those updates.
But bro... is that game hard and I just play on easy. Easy is WAY harder than actual hard in OG TS or RA2. (and I play CnC for about 20 years now)
Usually you can rely on the rock, paper, scissor-mechanic, but somehow this does not work at all here. The only thing I realised is that I deal nearly no damage at all to enemies, but on the other hand they two-shot a Goliath or something.
Tried the stuff the other way around, but this changes nothing. Same result.
(and yes, I lowered the gamespeed)
I really like your work, don't get me wrong, everything looks beautiful, new tech-tree is thought out, interesting new mechanics, amazing landscapes, delicious map-layout and such...
But sadly I can't play your game. It is just too hard for me.
I get the point of providing a challenge to those who wants it, but please save that for hard and make easy actually easy for those cowards like me.
Would be so sad, to be unable to play this game.
(buried)
I completed all the missions on very difficult. I advise you to simply reconsider the type of this game itself.
My only complaint is 1 mission for GDI and 1 mission for NOD. There was a script error. I had to go into the editor and prescribe a victory script for myself.
Bug report here...
Hi, dev team. Going to report some texture and animation issues on your perfect mod, will I?
The issues are as follows:
1) Redeemer Drone model flickers unnaturally and enourmously (it seems that some unneeded frames appear for a moment during animation loops at the upper part of the model) while performing deploy or undeploy ...
2) Tremor Artillery gun deployment seems to play not so smooth - at the end of animation loop the gun abruptly gets down (as if some frames are cut) instead of being fluently lowered...
3) Spider Drone seems to have the same issue when performing deploy animation, though it is very rapid and can be seen at the end of deploy animation - the model flickers unnaturally for a millisecond at its central part ...
Hope for rapid fix and new cool updates.
PS
Game version is 09.02
hey Twisted Insurrection team,
if fellow community members make maps compatible with TI, can they upload screenshots or is moddb to asked to delete any such screenshots and maps?
It has been a couple of years since the last update. Is this mod still being developed?
I really enjoyed playing this mod and also the Second Tiberium War mod.
someday we can have TSTW fight TI in a single map
