The vanilla experience downloading and installing from Steam:
- You miss the funky installer experience, ah well.
- It installs version 1.037
- The installation directory is now C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Renegade\
- The desktop shortcut has been updated to HD
- On first launch, Steam gives you this:
- Renegade Config allows all resolutions, but the game doesn't handle it great, click on these thumbnails to see:
- Choosing WOL shows you the empty XWIS lobby. Choosing GameSpy takes you to the unmodded GameSpy menu which obviously doesn't work. As such, vanilla installs of Renegade at the moment don't see any online servers, getting them to run the TT patch will fix this and a world of other issues.
I quit the game then downloaded the latest TT installer (4.8.1)
It instantly detects the correct Steam directory, does it's thing but advised me that my serial number is invalid. As a test, I left it blank and everything worked regardless.
