Essential improvements
Source ports
- iortcw adds modern features like VOIP and OpenAL, whilst being faithful to traditional gameplay.
- Unofficial Patch by Knightmare[2] that fixes various crashes and adds native widescreen support. Technically a source port.
- Another Unofficial patch, though for OS X, by Brad Oliver.[3] Designed to get around the fact that the original game was PowerPC only and would not run on OS X 10.7 "Lion" or later due to the removal of Rosetta.
- Bibendovsky's RtCW another source port, also supports expansion Enemy Territory.
S4NDMoD
- A mod that focuses on fixing exploits and adding necessary features to RTCW multiplayer. A list of features can be found here. Due to master server being down, this mod is the best solution to make server browser work, again. Mod can be downloaded, here.

Issues fixed
Enlarged upper left corner of screen
- Increasing the game resolution above 800x600 causes the upper left corner of the game to take up the entire screen. One reason is that game detects a 3dfx driver (possibly caused by nGlide).

Frame rate drops on modern machines
- This game is not coded/optimized to run on modern graphics cards, resulting in frame rate drops on some modern machines. This fix changes the method used to submit rendering draw calls.[7]
