Changes in V. 1.006

Fixes a minor Quickmatch client bug.

Changes in V. 1.005

GENERAL CHANGES

Chrono IFV no longer loses its target when selecting a target further than his firing range. Now it moves within attack range and fires without losing focus at any moment. Modified official maps are not transferred over Internet games. If a player disconnects 3 times in one game for durations more than 25 seconds each, the game will finish and be awarded to the non-disconnector at the 3rd time. If walls or other buildings block the Soviet Barracks exit, no unit is built even if the user has a Cloning Vat. The cost is refunded to the player. No other infantry units other than those with explosives can blow up buildings when joining to a Tanya command waypoint.

In-game chat, whenever the user types a message longer than a screen width the text is transmitted and displayed properly.

Red Alert 2 now automatically supports firewalls and network address translating (NAT) while playing on Westwood Online.
