The OpenRA team has received a small number of issues after last week's playtest release. These issues have been addressed and so they are releasing a new playtest for you to check out!
The list of fixes is agreeably short, which is to be expected after this equally short development cycle. The fixed issues include:
The installers for a number of supported operating systems can be found on the download page as usual.
If you encounter any problems or bugs, don't hesitate to report them on OpenRA's bug tracker.
A note to modders: You may have seen these already on the wiki or in the last playtest announcement, but they were not explicitly mentioned. In addition to the existing trait and Lua API which cover the latest stable release, OpenRA's WIKI now also provide documentation for the latest playtest. See the "Traits (playtest)" and "Lua API (playtest)" pages on the wiki. This will allow you to update your mods and maps to be compatible with an upcoming release ahead of time.

The old external editor is slated for removal after the upcoming release, so while the next release will feature both the ingame and legacy editors, it will be the last appearance for the latter. Reason enough to give the ingame editor a thorough testing

Also more Tiberian Sun era features have been integrated. This screenshot shows AlphaImage light posts and global palette effects that darken the whole map.
The list of fixes is agreeably short, which is to be expected after this equally short development cycle. The fixed issues include:
- A number of issues pertaining to single-player missions in both Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.
- A crash in Dune 2000 that happened when a Deviator hit a harvester being picked up by a Carryall.
- Rendering glitches which resulted in highly saturated range circles and blocky nuke explosion effects.
