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.
An Italian language pack was created, with the help of the wonderful people of the OldGamesItalia website :)
A configuration issue has been identified in the july 1 2014 release, that causes lagging in the videos and when aborting a mission. Here's how to fix...
Video packs have been added to the downloads and addons sections, and the game / patch downloads themselves have gotten minor updates, too.
An error in the full installer made the CnCNet desktop icon run C&C95.exe instead of cncnet.exe

Did you guys check this Moddb.com out already?
OpenRA is a vague remake using the game's graphics while preserving nothing of the original gameplay feel. I've contributed to its development with my patch assets numerous times.
What about it?
This patch makes the AI way too hard for single-player.
This patch doesn't change the AI. At all. C&C1 is simply a game with a really hard single player campaign.
Can i use this so I can add mods to the ultimate collection
There aren't all that many mods for C&C1... and they work the same way no matter which version.
how too put Chinese?...FNT no have chinese ......I use all day to do it.....
That seems hard. Even the Japanese version on Sega and Playstation just has English text. I don't think there's a DOS text encoding for Chinese.
oh that is too bad . but do you have a fnt tool?i want try more .
You should ask Siberian_GRemlin about that... he has the only working version. He made Russian fonts for the game.
