Aside from several new units, cosmetics and mechanics such as the GLA Recycler feature and the GLA Nuke Truck feature, Version 1.85 will also bring about a groundbreaking change in the technical department, which is one of the things that have been consuming a lot of time and effort.
With the termination of several old game servers, including C&C online, many people are looking for new ways to set up their multiplayer matches. We have there taken it upon ourselves to develop our own server platform in order to provide a simple, reliable and proprietary way for our community to engage in ROTR multiplayer games. SWR.NET has been in constant development and testing since before the termination of the servers and will be seamlessly integrated in the 1.85 installation.
Managing access to it is as simple as activating or deactivating it with a single click in the ROTR launcher.
Once you start the game with SWR.NET enabled in the background, you'll be able to find all other active players in the Multiplayer -> Network lobby, from where you create your own game or join any game created by anyone running ROTR.
SWR.NET does not require any separate account aside from the 100% client-based user name that you're already using in the original game, which can be changed, deleted or replaced at any time without any strings attached. With this move, we hope to ensure a streamlined, easy to use multiplayer service to ROTR, without the help of any additional third party programs that require you to create a whole new account, in order to facilitate the development of a unified ROTR playerbase around the world. Naturally, there is no way to completely rule out the possibility of missmatches, which may still occur due to connection hiccups or problems with the game code itself which is, after all, over ten years old at this point and wasn't really designed with any of the major changes in mind that we implemented - But we wouldn't have been working on this project for such a long time with this level of effort if it wasn't for our love of the game and our dedication to you, the players.
As always, we would like to remind all of you out there that there will be another stream on this Sunday:
Countdown until the stream starts
Also, in case you missed last week's stream, you can check it out on our Youtube channel here

And does i need the legal game to use it ?.
I don't think so

Absolutely not. Come play with us, yarrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
when is the update coming?
the update is never late, nor is it ever early,the update will arrive precisely when it means to.
The SWR.net is functioning just like CnCNet+ 4.0, right?
yes pretty much like that :)
Can we protect our game with a password, or will we still have to go through a VPN to play with friends?
It is pretty much a VPN service yes.
COOOOOL THIS SERVER WILL LAST FOREVER AND WIL NOT BE STOPPED BY EA EVIL
XAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXA
OKAY! So I bought C&C: The Ultimate Collection. No CD, so it directed me to Download from Origins. Now... how do I get it to run ROTR?
mmm origins doesnt run mods son, sorry but the only run to run mods on generals nowadays if you dont have a copy of the original generals from when it came out is to get a copy of it.
