    So. I've just discovered this big solution to the Gamespy problem, and I've been looking around but I didn't see any particular way to play Renegade online.  I remember that there weren't many people playing the original renegade back in ye olden times, but when Gamespy was still around there was one server in particular that made itself known and had somewhere around twenty people that played on it pretty actively considering the age of the game.

 

   So my question is, is there any support for the old renegade servers? I downloaded and installed the game launcher that this site provided, but I didn't see any support for it.  I glanced through some of the forums but didn't see this, and figured there wasn't any harm posting the question in Open Topic.  I realize it's quite a bit older than the games that are supported, the youngest probably being generals, but my interest in the question still stands.

Well, the C&C:Online website doesn't mention Renegade, so you'd be right in assuming we don't support it. :p

 

Classic Renegade used to always be supported by XWIS, though I haven't played there in years. You could also try the new Renegade X, a free (as in beer) remake of the original game by a team of fans. It's very good.

Oh, I didn't realize CnCNet supported Renegade. Very cool.

It doesn't. It's just a server list. In fact, the page is not linked to by any other CnCNet subpage for some reason.

Do note that some of these use mods or freeware distributions like RA: A Path Beyond or TS: Reborn. See the map currently played to determine whether it's regular Renegade or not. Installing Tiberian Technologies 4.2 might help in compatibility, too.
