About
OpenRA is a highly moddable RTS game engine for classic Westwood 2D games. In fact, Red Alert, Command & Conquer and Dune 2000 are implemented purely as mods on it. Tools are provided that allow you to add new units, maps, script missions, even create your own mod. Have a look at the wiki and the auto-generated developer documentation.

Built-In Mods
Red Alert
The RA mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of Command & Conquer: Red Alert. It is not just a clone of the original, but has improved and rebalanced gameplay. The UI is modernized for higher resolutions and better usability. It has fully working multiplayer support for both internet and local play (via direct connect).
Tiberian Dawn
The CNC mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn game. As with Red Alert modern networking and rendering technology is used. Also, new features are implemented such as snow terrain, neutral tech buildings and many glitches from the original have been fixed.
Dune 2000
The D2k mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of Dune 2000. A remake of the remake so to speak. It separates itself from the rest of the C&C series in terms of lore, certain game mechanics and file formats, but also shares a lot of technology with its spiritual successors. Avoid the sandworms and build your base on stable foundations. The spice must flow!
Articles
This time around, it is all about spring cleaning: squashing bugs, implementing minor requested features, and preparing for larger reworks. But fear not! We still have a bunch of cool stuff lined up just for you! Without further ado, here are some notable changes you can expect in Playtest 20230801:
- Added new Covert Ops missions for Tiberian Dawn: “Eviction Notice” and “Twist of Fate”
- Added new Red Alert missions “Allies10b” and “Soviet13a” and the Counter-Strike mission “Mousetrap”
- Fixed several palette remapping issues and restored the ability to select darker player colors
- Implemented a new custom Lua wrapper which improves error reporting for map scripters
- Introduced a modular asset installer which allows for installation of the classic assets via Steam or the EA app
- Reworked sprite sequences, significantly improving third party modding support
One of the smaller features is a new smoke emitter for D2k's damaged vehicles, which better matches the original

For more information, see the full changelog.
And before we wrap up, we would like to mention that this release contains significant progress towards C&C Remastered Collection support, including compatibility with the new EA app. The “Tiberian Dawn HD” playtest is a separate release and can be downloaded here. This preview is multiplayer-compatible with the main 20230801 playtest. However, please keep in mind that performance, memory usage and loading times have not been optimized yet. The C&C Remastered Collection must be installed through Steam or the EA App, and in case you are using macOS or Linux, the project README provides you detailed installation instructions.
Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to take part in the playtest. Don’t forget to share your feedback with us on our forum, community Discord server, or GitHub. Enjoy the summer gaming season with OpenRA!

This is developed by a group of volunteers. There is no set plan.
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Will there be a Yuri faction in a next update???
No.
Any major updates planned for this year?
Yes, it is long overdue. Still some bugs to fix though.
I couldn't help but notice that the amazing trailer is not on this page in any sort of obvious way!
Added the latest one to the videos as well.
HI, Milanium, I'm on Windows 7. I've been trying to reach out to someone on Moddb.com about OpenRA and netframework 4.6.2. I had trouble installing
both on my computer and had a real hard time with it today. I couldn't install OpenRA or the .Netframework 4.6.2. I did manage to get OpenRA working I ended up getting an old version of OpenRA and it worked and I didn't need the netframework. Now I'm trying to get C and C Shattered Paradise working and it installs but I'm getting the OpenRA.utility has stopped working error notice so I'm not sure how to tie in Shattered Paradise into Open RA. I've done this before but now its like I can't get anything to work. Any Suggestions will be much appreciated.
.NET Framework v4.7.2 or later is required to run the current version of OpenRA. The Installer will also tell you that.
i am also having this problem, with the latest update, though it is notable that my current computer is made out of garbage and my internet is, i think, up a *** pile of gestapo ases, which i have come to dub "gestapo @$$net", perhaps a fix or patch is necessary.
