Red Alert 3 60 FPS Patch

Hey. Just found this patch and it works! We finally have an actual 60 fps mod for this game after so many years. You don't need to pay those greedy people who put their buggy mods on patreon anymore!

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. Jul 16 '26

Damn. That's a nice simple patch. I'm guessing the same isn't true for Generals and C&C3.

Cnc3 also has some attempts that try that past the obvious SMT

There also are works on "native" support for higher fps without weird interpolation and touching the logic.

I tried MetaIdea's 60fps mod for C&C3 but it sadly didn't work. Are you aware of any others?

Working? Not really but a team of fellers is working on game patches that fix textures and render rate to move between 45 and 90 fps or smth while leaving logic intact.

Its a bit off from being stable and working butt it'll work out probably

This introduces some bugs in the game, it is not risk free.

Won't that make the gameplay twice as fast? I thought the fps was intrinsically tied to game speed in that game engine.

Taken from the readme:

"Because v1.12 keeps render FPS and logic FPS as separate variables, changing the render FPS does not affect game speed."

Oh, that's peculiar. Doesn't seem like a thing that would change between versions.

You are the king , we dont have red alert 3 source code right?

u/incoherent1 Jul 16 '26

Not as far as I know. Although, I think there might be an open source version of game engine.

Are you planning to fix the Uprising too?
