Tiberian Series — Install and Setup
Tiberian Dawn
- Command & Conquer Remastered Collection (2020) on Steam and the EA app: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert with all expansions, remastered art and music, and online multiplayer built in. The easiest way to play.
- CnCNet (cncnet.org) runs the original with fixes for modern Windows and online play. EA released the original as freeware, so CnCNet's download includes it.
- OpenRA (openra.net) is a free, open-source remake of the engine with modern controls and balance; it plays Tiberian Dawn as one of its mods.
Tiberian Sun and Firestorm
- Also freeware from EA. CnCNet's Tiberian Sun download bundles the game, Windows 10 and 11 fixes, and its online lobby.
Command & Conquer 3 and Kane's Wrath
- Sold on Steam and the EA app, including in The Ultimate Collection.
- The original online servers are gone; the community runs C&C:Online (cnc-online.net), which restores multiplayer for C&C3 and Kane's Wrath.
Command & Conquer 4
- Sold on Steam and the EA app.
Renegade
- Sold with the collections on Steam and the EA app. The community keeps it online with the Tiberian Technologies patch, and W3D Hub hosts fan games built on Renegade's engine.
Common fixes
- Run games installed from old discs through CnCNet or the Steam / EA versions — they carry the compatibility fixes.
- If a game will not start on Windows 11, try the community client before changing compatibility settings by hand.
