Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge (redalert2-recomp)

Games: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 → (Windows, 2000) · Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge → (Windows, 2001)

A static recompilation of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its expansion Yuri’s Revenge, built with pcrecomp, the same author’s toolkit for Windows games: the x86 code of their executables (game.exe 1.006 and gamemd.exe 1.001) is translated to C and compiled on your machine, and each game comes out as its own program. It’s Westwood’s own code recompiled, not a reimplementation like OpenRA. It adds its own Direct3D 11 window, resizable or borderless fullscreen, with sharp, smooth, CRT, nearest-neighbor, or integer scaling; an F10 settings menu; resolutions from 1280×720 to 3840×2160, widescreen and ultrawide, showing more of the battlefield; units, their shadows, and aircraft drawn at twice the resolution from the game’s own voxel models; optional modern controls (left-click to select, right-click to give orders); mods as folders laid over the game’s files without changing them; and LAN multiplayer as shipped. There are native builds for Windows, Linux (a 32-bit program, no Wine), and Apple silicon macOS. Both games pass their 30 automated tests, which cover the menus, skirmishes through to the score screen, and the start of both campaigns, from 720p to 4K. 0.1.0-alpha.1 came out on October 19 with an installer that finds the game, installs the tools, and builds it (30 to 60 minutes the first time), and the latest, 0.1.0-alpha.4, on October 22. 71 of its 72 commits list Claude as a co-author.

You needYour own Steam or EA App (Origin) copy of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge: the folder with game.exe and gamemd.exe. The project includes and downloads nothing from the game. Plus about 6 GB of free space; on Windows, Windows 10 or 11 and Visual Studio with the C++ tools (the installer installs the Build Tools if they’re missing); on Linux, 32-bit gcc with 32-bit SDL2 and FFmpeg; and on macOS, an Apple silicon Mac.
