The Past Ain't What It Used To Be...
The first Command & Conquer received its last official update on the 21st of June, 1996. Since then, the game has been ported to Windows (as "Gold" version), and re-released in the big "The First Decade" and "The Ultimate Collection" collection packs, but has never received any more bug fixes.
The C&C Gold Patch 1.06 project aims to bring this classic into the new millennium, by fixing the old bugs, supporting higher resolutions, and adding new modding and mapping possibilities. It also contains an addon-based language system, allowing anyone to create translation packs for the game.

Apparently the version of CnCNet 5 included in the patch didn't work... so I fixed that.
Additionally, I've been informed various times that the game has a bug where the mouse freezes when you open the in-game menu. I knew that the fix to this was to enable Win95 compatibility mode, but unfortunately, the config tool removed compatibility if CnC-DDraw was enabled, because that's the way it worked best on WinXP (on which the patch was originally developed).
That has been fixed too now; the tool should now set the appropriate compatibility mode for every situation.

Alrighty well thanks. Also I have a question, have you heard of Red Alert 1 having messed up colors ingame on Windows 7 64-bit. If so might you know how to fix it?
Technically, CnC-DDraw fixes it... but hifi recently said there's a problem in RA with the mouse cursor disappearing at odd times, so, not sure.
There's a registry fix too, which enables some deep hidden DirectX compatilbility mode, but I've heard people say that it doesn't always work. The fix is applied by my RA v3.03 patch installer. (See Cnc-comm.com )
Sweet I'll try it but first I have one more question, does the RAv3.03 work with The First Decade?
RA3.03? Well, not normally, but if you use the installer I made, it substitutes the exe with a no-cd version when you install it on TFD.
Cnc-comm.com
It just checks for the TFD registry, and if the folder you're installing in is the same as the TFD RA folder set in the registry, it uses the NoCD exe. This has the advantage that it's actually folder-dependent. If you'd have RA installed somewhere else too and you patch that one, it won't get the NoCD :)
Well it works. But every now and then it likes to crash.
Excellent work
Hey Nyerguds can I ask you a favor? Can you please get me every blank German CNC Cameo in .png format? Also don't think I'm a random person, I am working with BrianPrime on PreRA2. I am Dasfonia on Project Perfect Mod. If you have Xfire add me if you want, it's 1bobsam1.
The German ones suck.. most are just a line of solid colour painted over the text part.
Anyway, MrFlibble and I made a cleaned up pack a while ago. It's here, as part of the C&C95 translation pack creation kit:
Nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com
file is blank_icons.rar
Tracking ofcourse
will it be possible to zoom?
Eh, this isn't a 3D game... how on earth would you zoom? With CnC-DDraw it is possible to play in window though, and stretch the window contents to any resolution you want. I guess that could qualify as "zoom".
Good luck on the patch/s. Hopefully something good will come of this and bring the community back!
Well, we already got quite a nice online play community going, on CnCNet:
Cncnet.cnc-comm.com
Now all I have to figure out is how to offer that in the patch... it's a bit of a difficult issue since the CnCNet system's current implementation literally replaces LAN play.
