Essential improvements
Source ports

- 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.
RealRTCW
- RealRTCW SP mod based on iortcw. New weapons, improved sounds and visuals, rebalanced gameplay, new difficulty system.
S4NDMoD

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]
