What works
Installation, starting up the game in fullscreen at 1920x1080. Connecting via RenList(1.0.8) or RenegadeIP(1.0.2) to third party servers. Playing the game online.
Third party scripts (tt scripts 4.2.3) installed and worked fine. Connecting to a gameserver and downloading additional modifications/maps and then playing them in online matches worked as well.
What does not
Everything seems to function fine.
On a side note, when using Wine 1.7.x to connect to servers with RenegadeIP/RenList I encountered an issue where the username field failed pass to the server resulting in "username too short" or "invalid username" errors. Using Wine 1.6.2, my distro's default, resolved this.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Single player. The campaign. Connecting to servers using the in-game server browser (I use RenList).

Additional Comments
I played the game with both fglrx and xorg-ati drivers using Linux 3.16.0 on my Radeon HD 7750 without issue. Xfce's window manager, xfwm4, grabs the keyboard input preventing use of the keyboard in-game. After issuing "icewm --replace" to temporarily swap out xfwm4 for icewm, the game functions normally. This seems to be a problem with Xfce4's xfwm4, not Wine or the game.

| Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
1. Make sure to disable the virtual desktop feature before beginning, as it will cause the installer to crash.
2. Install the game to any directory you like.
3. Users installing from C&C The First Decade do not need a crack. Users installing from the original CD release need to download a working No-CD crack.
4. Run winecfg and set the Windows version to 2000 if it is not on 2000 by default.
5. Set the following options in Sound Configuration:
- Emulation
- Thick Emulation box aswell
6. Start the game, the game should run fine now with minor graphical/gameplay glitches, and sound is rather choppy but works.
Renegade always wants to do triple buffering and ATI's fglrx does not support triple buffering which results in very slow framerates (2-3fps). Add this entry to the registry to make the game render at playable framerates:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/
RenderTargetLockMode = disabled
