Key points

The Soviet Assault expansion singleplayer content is interleaved into the main story. It cannot be played separately.
Online functionalities have been discontinued on December 15, 2015. All Massgate.net resources were taken down as well.[1][2][3]
The open-source MassGate replacement server is available for everyone to join. It's also possible for everyone to host their own server using its source code

Essential improvements

Patches

The game comes with a built-in autopatcher. However, the latest patches can be downloaded manually from here (you'll likely have to download previous patches from the same site, as the official source was taken down).

Windows 7 DirectX 10 Workaround

DirectX 10 rendering mode was broken after installing Platform update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (KB2670838). To run the game in DX10 mode without crashing, uninstall KB2670838 from Control Panel.

Skip intro videos

Replace intro videos with blank BINK videos[4]
  1. Download this mod: Skip intro videos at Nexus Mods.
  2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to "<path-to-game>".

Make HBAO work in DX9 mode

Use Nvidia Profile Inspector[citation needed]
Use inspector as per usual (open World in Conflict profile, etc.) and change flag 0x000B0000 to 0x000B0032 adding a "32" at the end. Could also try it with an "04" at the end if you prefer the effect stronger.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/21760/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (21760) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
