New Release of OpenRA

[Sonic 296]

A brand new version of OpenRA, the open source reimplementation of Westwood's original Red Alert, has been made available for download. Version "20110320", a long overdue release, fixes several long standing desyncs, and puts in place the foundations for some major new features that are coming soon. The highlights of this release are:

 

• Packaging fixes for Ubuntu and Windows XP
• Range circles when placing defense structures
• Improved health bar and selection effects
• Visual cash indicators on oil derricks, harvester unloading, selling buildings
• RA tech tree overhaul
• RA aircraft behaviour overhaul
• Viceroids in CnC
• Several crash and desync fixes
• Many more improvements and polish fixes

The latest build can be downloaded from the OpenRA.

When will they fix the settings.yaml? It remembers my settings (resolution) only once and then it returns to original settings.

Well you could ask that question on the OpenRA forums. Have you reported this as a bug?

I have asked that but didn't get answer :/

The closest I can find is Bug #118, which we interpreted as being due to a quirk of our settings textfield entry.

 

What resolution are you trying to set? The behavior you describe should only happen if you are trying to run in a window with resolution less than 800x600, which is the minimum that our current ui will fit in without chopping off UI elements.

I would like to use 1024x768 in fullscreen mode. It works fine but as I said, it will reset it back to the previous one (1680x1050 which is much too big for this game) after the second time I start the game with that resolution.
