C&C:Online Tacitus
C&C:Online Tacitus FINALLY, IT’S HERE!
We couldn’t have chosen a better time for this release—just as Electronic Arts dropped an unexpected but welcome update for all Command & Conquer games and even released the source code for Renegade and Zero Hour!
After nearly 15 years stuck with the same old launcher (and its issues), @[CW] Medstar and I have finally completed Tacitus after just half a year of work (well, mostly Medstar’s work, to be honest). But that’s not all—we’ve also rolled out a massive backend update that:
Officially supports all new game versions
Adds recognition & support for Generals Evolution and the One Vision mod
Addresses every possible edge case (seriously, our IDEs tracked over 50 hours of work from Thursday night to now!)
A Few Words from Me (cervanthes)
When I joined the C&C:Online staff five years ago, I never imagined I’d one day be personally responsible for the entire project. I wouldn’t be here without my amazing friends and colleagues on the team and across the community. But the biggest thank you goes to these legends:
[CW] Medstar – The Brain, The Chad, The Spearhead
Without him—and especially without his weekend crunch—C&C:Online might not have survived this week. Medstar, your dedication, adaptability, and sheer determination are beyond impressive. I’m forever grateful for everything you do and for putting up with me long enough to make real progress!
The Moment You’ve Been Waiting For—Introducing TACITUS!
Our greatest gift to the C&C:Online community is finally here! (Seriously, we don’t know how we could have made a better integration!)
You’ll notice that the website and even your old C&C:Online launcher are prompting you for an update—some instructions for that will follow shortly!
What is Tacitus?
Tacitus is the new and ONLY client for C&C:Online, completely replacing the old launcher.
- No more hooking
- No more CA patch errors
- No more missing ssleay32.dll issues
- No more launcher failures due to random registry errors
Key Features of Tacitus
- RA3 Wall Crash Fix – No more sore losers ruining your game!

Chronoshift – Need to go back in time? We know that 14 years’ worth of replays, mods, and maps may depend on pre-March 25 versions of the games. With a single button click, you can instantly revert to an older version of the game as if nothing ever happened!
