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).
Edit wolfconfig.cfg[6]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open wolfconfig.cfg.
  3. Change seta r_glIgnoreWicked3D "0" to seta r_glIgnoreWicked3D "1".

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]
Set launch option[citation needed]

Use the +set r_primitives 2 command line argument.

Type command in console[citation needed]
  1. Launch the game and open the console using ~.
