Posting anniversary posts is bittersweet these days. On one hand, I’ve received some feedback in the past few months from game researchers who are glad that a center of information for the Command & Conquer franchise still exists, but on the other… the community is just not there anymore. A few long-standing mods get updated,…

 Resident C&C collectors have caught wind of a promotional VHS tape for the original Command & Conquer that was shown in stores before the game’s release (as evidenced by the stated May 1995 release date, which ended up being pushed to September), and features various footage and explanations from the developers themselves. The shown…

Anniversaries have a tendency to creep up on one. It’s a big one this time – this very site is 25 years online, maintaining its position as oldest English-speaking (and second-oldest in general, behind only the French CnCSaga) Command & Conquer fansite still up.

Yet another surprise patch for the Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection has arrived yesterday, reporting ingame as 745903.1. It’s a small one, with the differential download “weighing” a mere 112 KB on Steam, and features new digital signatures in the executable and main DLLs, as well as fixed support for Intel Xe Graphics chipsets on…

In September 2021, Rampastring took it upon himself to fix some of the most glaring…

After a successful first version, GenPatcher 2.0 has finally arrived. As before, this tool streamlines the installation, patching and configuring process for C&C Generals and Zero Hour on modern systems, implementing multiple fixes at once and tackling pretty much all known causes for problems in setting the game up. This new version, which had been…

On 1 January 2002, official Sole Survivor servers on (the now also former) Westwood Online were shut down, leaving the series’ first multiplayer-centric title without a way to play online. Only repetitive 15-minute deathmatches against AI opponents have been available to us since then. A small group of community members (OmniBlade, CCHyper, tomsons26) have taken…

Remember us? No? Thought so. As you may have noticed, the site has been scarcely touched since June. This only partly has to do with the usual excuses of real life stuff (professional and private), diverting attention to other and far larger projects (working on an unannounced RTS for 3D Realms/Slipgate Ironworks, maintaining and adding…
