Obsolete - v 2.1.1 Full Client - RA:APB Gamma file - Red Alert: A Path Beyond

Red Alert: A Path Beyond version 2.1.1 includes several enhancements, bugfixes, and performance boosts over older versions. The following is a non-exhaustive list of changes over the previous 2.1.0 version of the game.

Visual Changes

The game will run much faster and smoothly than before, more efficient resource loading means fewer micro-stutters during gameplay, and rendering enhancements also include several new options for anisotropic texture filtering and fast anti-aliasing, in addition to support for super-widescreen multi-monitor displays (e.g. Eyefinity). There is no need to force anti-aliasing via graphics card overries anymore.

Also included are revised visual and audio effects, such as new explosions and weapon impacts along with new missile trails. The all-new Heavy Tank and Light Tank are also included. Several maps have also been revised, including fan-favorite Metro.
