Greetings, ROTR fans.
After the release of our much anticipated Version 1.8, many of you have provided their feedback and reported bugs.
In order to gather these helpful information in a more organised manner and allow you, our fans and followers, to contribute your own efforts to the project, we have opened the Public Beta Testing Forum which gave you access to our latest internal trial versions. This helped us to eliminate a great number of bugs, tweak the game and make a few other neat little additions. We'd like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who provided us with their input, for today we are presenting you the result of the most recent testing session: The official Rise of the Reds Patch 1.802.

yay i waited for this a long time now
This version is 1.802, not 1.82.
In fact, this one contain only the two recent test builds and the new igla trooper and Viper Gunship.
Very good update, downloading now
very nice, downloading now :)
One step closer to victory
-Gun TurRret max health decreased from 1300 to 1200
Notice the extra R
thanks guys you made my day :) :)
My day is made! Time to build the perfect ECA defense line!
Does this require 1.801 patch or is this a cumulative update?
Does this fix the issue of blocking operations? I've noticed that ROTR runs far slower on my machines than any other mod, especially after an accumulation of units (even offscreen). I imagine it's an issue with the AI, likely consuming far too many CPU cycles to allow the game to render smoothly for me.
This 1.802 IS the same as Test Build 2
No, both versions are different.
out of plain curiosity...
what made you decide to remove a turret from the skyshield?
anything i missed?
regards
ww.dk
I think it had something to do with the coding since it still worked even if you were low on power,That or to make it more similar to the real Skyshield.
Your first assumption is correct. Skyshield with 3 turrets used Stinger Site logic and it was impossible to make it shut down when you're low on power.
So since you have fixed all these bugs and such does this mean that you are gonna be concentrating on the generals now?
Again this is a Patch not to be confused with the 1.82 Release. The next version we are already developing (1.82) will contain more General specific units and features - after that yes we'll be focusing more on the Generals themselves - as well as Faction specific Navy.
cool cant wait

Nice tweaks! Good job guys...
IMHO brutal enemy seems still too dumb for me. If you survive initial few waves, AI just build alot of building and units and becomes idle. Sometimes they attack, but attacks are easily defeated. Even buildins built by AI are frequently colliding with each other. It look really weird :D Bud still, this mod is simply amazing.
They can't really do much about the AI. And yes, it's not that hard to defeat. Basically you just need to protect your base well and eventually steamroll the AI. If you are bored of that, you can always add some self-imposed challenge to it, like keeping your casulties below 10 for the whole match.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like this, course I typically go with things like 'don't let a single civilian building fall in that town,' or 'this unit(s) can't be used by me at all this game.'
Yea. I also have the "no civilian building destroying" rule often. Also, try to stay in the profile of each faction (like the low casulties for USA and ECA).
i love the new sw controls and tweaks. gg.
Agreed next patch please fix AI, either i'm the most amazing C&C player ever... or the AI on brutal is just forrest gumping it
so the new "viper" now says
"viper, ready for action"? lol
The front page image is so cool, it is like little toy tanks!
I remember there were some typos in some in-game descriptions. I forgot where... guess i'll have to play some more to remember where it was. xD
Why don't use a torrent system - it will be much faster!
the pirate bay?
I must be a total dummy....I have just purchased the CnC Ultimate Edition because my DVD version of "The 1st Decade" crapped out....I cannot get ROTR to run....I downloaded Zero Hour from Origin using their client, then downloaded/installed 1.8 and patch 1.802, all in same directory as specified, but when I open ROTR, it only goes to regular Zero Hour...
HELP!
Do you have the last patch of ZH? 1.04
And dont forget to install the last of ROTR 1.802 you have to
Step zero - Of course install ZH with the last patch 1.04
First step - install ROTR 1.8
Second step - install the patch of the ROTR 1.801
Third step - install the last patch of the ROTR 1.802
...to start ROTR double-click on the ROTR_Lnchr.exe(located in the folder of ZH)
Good-luck, and have a fun :)
do you really need to install the ROTR 1.801 before the ROTR 1.802. Can i directly install the ROTR 1.802?
Congratulations, EA just scammed you like a lot of people here. CnC games of the Ultimate edition are not compatible with any mods no matter how hard we try to get them working. You are better off getting the 1st Decade again.
the no installer seems to work sometimes...
... at least for me.
But yea, EA's been a ****.
Well at least the CEO resigned. We may see a new dawn in the company towards consumers again hopefully.
I got ROTR to work on my ultimate edition on origin. not that hard once you figure out what to do
wow i like thisssssssssssss

One tweak i would like to see is that when you want to place a building where your units already are, its highlighted red. It would be better if it goes green and those units just scatter away from that position during building. Saves time

Got it working on the ultimate version on origin and it is pretty awesome. Let me know if you are having issues with origin. You may need to look for a Installer fixer on the c&c forums is where I found it
It doesn't work for me anymore :( When i try to run it i gives me:
Windows can't find
C: Users \W7\ AppData \Local \Temp \986.tmp \ROTR_Quick_bat
Coudn't put it all of it together beacuse it can't be more than 50
characters.
Any ideas?
Shockwawe has the same problem :(
