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.

Say, Nyerguds. Can you do a portable version of C&C with the latest patches and works for all versions of Windows?

Umm... that's kinda just the full installer. Once installed, it's technically fully portable; just copy the whole shebang to a usb drive.

Think for a moment... will a Starcraft II patch work on Warcraft III?

There are guides to fixing the games on the official forum, here:

Be sure to check out the sticky threads at the top of the forum, especially the one called "Common Problems".

First off it's not possible in C&C95. Secondly, the skirmish present here is just LAN with AI players. (which Nyerguds has made very clear in the FAQ/manual)

it's not a mod, it's a patch. And skirmish mode is just LAN with only AI players. Learn to read the manual.

Go to the chat of cncnet.org to find players. The actual ingame lobby only lists games, not players.
