Unofficial First Decade Patch 1.03 Released

[Sonic 295]

Here's something that owners of the Command & Conquer: The First Decade pack have wanted to see for a very long time. Patch 1.03 is now available for download. But is not from an EALA. Its an unofficial patch, the news is on the Official C&C Site though so its released with APOC's blessing I guess.

 

NathanCNC, with the help of other community members, has created an EPIC Patch 1.03 for The First Decade. This patch fixes many different bugs and adds a number of fixes to the game. Online play has been added to all of the classic titles such as Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert! You also no longer need the disc in the drive to play any of the games!

 

This patch includes EA’s official Patch 1.01 and Patch 1.02. If you already have these installed, the patch will recognize it, and only add the necessary Patch 1.03 changes.

 

This patch is unofficial, we cannot help with any specific Patch 1.03 issues, you are download this at your own risk. However, the patch has been used my hundreds of C&C community members, each reporting no errors with any Patch 1.03 specific changes. Thus, we felt the need to promote this at CommandandConquer.com!

 

Stand-out fixes include updating Red Alert to version 3.03, cleaned up video files to free up nearly a gig of hard drive space, and the integration of extra official Westwood maps from downloadable map packs. Online/LAN has also been fixed for Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, and Yuri's Revenge. Manuals for all the games have been added with the patch, as well as registry entry fixes. This is just the beginning of all the additions the patch brings to the table!

 

To check out the full change list and download the patch, check out NathanCNC's Unofficial Patch 1.03 website! You can also donate to him to help his efforts with the patch.

Visit NathanCNC's site for the download and the very long patch notes.

It's better than nothing!

This was available a couple weeks ago.

But anyways, this is revolutionary! I looked over all the fixes and man does it make life easy! Especially the fixes on C&C1 and RA1.

I also figured out that there is going to be an unofficial patch for Renegade in the future Core Patch 3!

There's huge irony in this, but it's not surprising. Many communities these days make their own patches, and they usually do a damn better job than official sources. Nevertheless it's good to see this going on.

I saw this patch a few weeks ago on the C&C forums, it's pretty awesome for the developers that it now gets featured on the C&C.com page.

Yes... the community gets more produced with less pay (I jest, not mocking EA, just sounds like it because they are so mockable).
