Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.

Hello everyone!

Hope you all enjoy our little April fools joke update last week. We're now back bringing you some proper news on ROTR development.

Before we dive head first in to developing 2.0 we're going to squeeze in one more major release that will be known as version 1.87

This release will address some of the current problems in game balance, bugs and introduce some new things for all factions.


I'm sure you all remember the Backbear render we posted in early January.

We're happy to announce that its its coming to ROTR 1.87 in shape of a new rank5 generals power called "Ursa Division" which will alow you to build a single Blackbear.

In addition to that all all Kodiaks, Golems and Sentinels build after choosing this generals power wil be build as Veterans.

Here are some screenshots showing the Blackbear ingame:


Additionally Boris can now be trained directly from the barracks and no longer requires a weapon load out to be selected beforehand.

Instead Boris can now chose his weapon load out in the field, this also means that you can select a new weapon load out every time he falls in action and is retrained from the barracks.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks smile.gif

I use him quite often because he kills aircraft better than 2 or even 3 virgin Igla troopers. A lot faster too. Put the MG Boris in a Mishka with 1 conscript (with night vision) and 2 Aleksandrs chosen, see what they can do together.

It really is, until the Mishka blows up since its soft and fragile. Nothing is more scary than a full GLA battle bus. Killing it once isnt enough

Is there a chance we'll see AI improvements in 1.87? For example, Russia has a pretty hard time managing its energy before building the Industrial Plant, China still uses the Troop Crawler as if it had fire ports, and ECA builds howitzer positions but never actually fires them, and I don't think I've ever seen them use the Venom protocol.

Super, loving the work Hunter - you are a real credit to the RTS community! The RTS genre's future is bright, as long as you are still around. What happened to you and Doomy doing those Twitch commentating nights on ROTR and Shockwave? For, I miss those weekly episodes, that is for sure....

Game has detected a mismatch. This means the multiplayer game has lost
synchronization data between the players.

Перевод:

Игра обнаружила несоответствие. Это означает, что игра по мультеплееру не имеет данные синхронизации между игроками.

help with this problem, what can be done that you could normally play the game ???

how can you fix this problem, someone tell me ?

the devs are probably aware of this but the lag bug is a killer, after a certain amount of time the game starts lagging like crazy but, i have found a temp fix for that, just launch the game, then go to your task manager and set the priority for the "game.dat*32" file to high.
Note: from what i've tested this will take a lot of your pc's power, so make sure you're not running anything other than the game.
Also, forgot to mention this above, to be able to set priority in the task manager "processes" tab, you have to press the "show processes from all users" button first, otherwise it will not give your permission to do that.
Hopefully this helps, again keep up the awesome work!

Holly s''t dude, thanks for the info, it worked like a charm. I actually got used to the lag before, it even gave me time to think more of what to do in tight situations.

actually this works for me, I dunno how long it will takes until "mismatch" happens, but I played together with my brother with 1 allied AI in a 3v3 map against 3 enemy AI, just medium but we managed to finish the game after 1 hour or more gameplay.

I remember having severe problems on full 8 player maps, not only lag but units not obeying commands. Not one unit wanted to move where i click.

Will the VDV ever get ANY type of anti air? They get shredded by a single helicopter and cant fight back. At least strap on an Igla on one of their vehicles, or an auto-cannon, a weak auto-cannon that can shoot at aircraft.

Every reinforcement GP has a weakness. VDV's one is the lack of AA. They are supposed to be à support to your troops. Not a free unstoppable invasion force

If you can drop the VDV without their transport planes getting shot down, you can deliver 8 igla troopers to them in a hunchback, or 6 of them in a hind, without the helicopters getting shot down.
