The game has considerable issues running on newer operating systems without modification, mainly caused by the broken DirectDraw renderer preventing the game from launching, combined with the deprecated SafeDisc 1 DRM in the retail version. While no official modding tools were released, the game quickly received a sizable modding and mapping community. Post-release support included 7 patches (two of which after Firestorm was released) as well as a semi-official map editor (FinalSun) compatible with both titles. The fanbase has repackaged the game since, including their own fixes alongside it, so it is strongly recommended to use these versions instead. This distribution was ripped directly from the Command & Conquer: The First Decade compilation from 2006 and requires an edit and subsequent execution of the included.
The game was released for free by EA on Februalongside the Firestorm expansion. If Firestorm itself is not installed, the base game "mode" is run automatically. It integrates itself to the main game executable, so game versions 2.00 and above include a switch between Tiberian Sun and Firestorm "modes". However, it increased the game imbalance towards favoring the GDI faction, so it is seldom played online. The Firestorm expansion from March 2000 added two new campaigns and new units. While a sequel to Command & Conquer was announced immediately in that game's Sneak Peek feature, the game was delayed multiple times (including missing its late 1998 and spring 1999 release schedules) until it was released in August 1999.
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view and isometric RTS game in the Command & Conquer series.
