- AI hit one of my obelisks while the deploy animation was going. Sent me ~1,000,00 power into the red. Deploying a GDI barracks fixed it later. Has anyone else seen this before?

You can try experimental projects such as Vanilla Conquer so you can play C&C1 and RA1. https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer

Error trying to run CnCNet (C&C) on Linux Mint
There's also a project called Vanilla Conquer which is a perfect port of the originals based on open source code released with the remaster but it's not been packaged so it has to be built from source.

C&C: "Red Alert" and "Tiberian Dawn"s Linux ports added to Luxtorpeda
u/d10sfan has added Vanilla Conquer source port for Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn which are part of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of those games can be played as Steam games.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn's Linux port added to Luxtorpeda for Steam
The title is misleading, OpenRA is not a linux port of Tiberian Dawn or Red Alert for that matter, its a fan clone game. Vanilla Conquer is a proper linux port of the original games based on the source code released for the remaster.

PSX Red Alert appreciation post
https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer is an open source build of the original C&C and Red Alert based on the source code released for the remaster. It needs the data from the original games but they are freeware and can be found dotted around the internet.

C&C Red Alert Remastered Map Editor
Neutral being uncapturable is probably due to https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer/issues/668 this bug because if I recall correctly, the neutral is considered to be allied to all other houses even if other houses aren't allied with them.
- Games I can contribute too.

Need help playing Red Alert on a Chromebook
I think so. I think you just have to download the binary from the releases thing and then follow the instructions here . There's also a Discord server if you need more help.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn's Linux port added to Luxtorpeda for Steam
You can run the windows version via wine or proton. For a native versions, not yet but you might want to keep your eye on https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme though it is still a way off being portable to other platforms.

Zero Hour - Borderless with Scrolling Enabled
Ah bummer then that's a no go then. Maby one day https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme or https://github.com/OpenSAGE/OpenSAGE could offer a fix.

"Please insert the game CD" Zero Hour
Due to the memory limits of 32bit apps, and the badly-managed memory of the SAGE game engine used in Generals/Zero Hour (memory leaks), it's most likely impossible without Out of Memory errors occurring. Thyme and OpenSage are open-source projects that are aimed to fix SAGE's faults, but I don't believe anything truly workable is available as of this reply.

Command and Conquer - Open Source Engine Recreation Project, OpenSAGE is in development!
We also have https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme in development which is being developed along the same lines as the recently released GTA reversing project and targets ZH. It's even playable as it hooks into the original game engine to fill in what is missing.
If this was posted on the back of the recent news about GTA being reimplemented, this project isn't really the same thing, https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme is more like the recently released GTA reversing project and targets Zero Hour. It's even playable as it hooks into the original game engine to fill in what is missing. OpenSAGE is a new engine in development intended to play the same content as SAGE.
