Popular Post CCHyper Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's been almost 20 years since the last official server went offline... Is back! Many thanks to Chad1233 and N3tRunn3r for the screenshots! We (OmniBlade, CCHyper, tomsons26) are currently in the process of performing a controlled alpha test with selected players (including some of the original top-ranking Sole Survivor players!). This has been quite the journey for us to get Sole Survivor back online; Including reaching out to many of the old school Sole Survivor players for feedback and balancing, uncovering an early Sole Survivor beta test build, and also getting the game work on modern systems. These alpha testing sessions will help us balance the game modes to ensure they are as close to the original servers as possible. Once we are happy with the performance and stability of the server configuration, and we are able to perform player load tests, we will start to explore permanent solutions for hosting full-time servers, allowing us to finally open up the servers to the whole community! So, make sure to follow this topic to be notified of any updates! "Welcome to Sole Survivor" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raap Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Nice work! I've never had the chance to play this game. I had no idea it had a 50+ player capacity on what looks like larger maps than the regular RTS game allowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 @ CCHyper Thats awesome! But I'm waiting now for people to get it confused with the Renegade SS mod Hopefully that won't happen too often. Keep us updated on the progress! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea it had a 50+ player capacity on what looks like larger maps than the regular RTS game allowed. Actually the true limit in one game is 100 players, the side limit is lag. Also it uses 126x126 maps like RA1 but with C&C1 terrain. I've waited a long time for this to happen and been having fun testing finally getting a chance to play it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by upscale you actually mean higher resolutions seen in the CnCNet versions of TD and RA1 to see more of the battlefield? Then yeah, there will be options for that. On which resolutions will be available? I don't know yet. By the way. Have you checked out the streams/recordings some of our testers have uploaded? This channel recorded some 20+ player games which I timed one here for you. It was really fun to be there! https://youtu.be/wGjQv43hvGY?t=1407 Also Included is Lunak89 who's been streaming the games. https://youtu.be/r69kzec-mWo?t=135 Edited August 23, 2022 by Chad1233 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 @ CCHyper Hey is this project still ongoing? I was reminded of it because Sole Survivor came up in a C&C Facebook group today. It would be cool if there was an update to offer to them, I think you might get some followers out of it. Let us know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad1233 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) I know... I really miss playing it to. Sole Survivor was lots of fun when we had 20+ player games. I saw a late Sole Survivor fan site that mentioned people describing Renegade as "Sole Survivor 2" and definitely has the same vibes as playing Renegade despite the top down RTS perspective. The more people that joins the more chaotic and fun it gets. https://web.archive.org/web/20021214155911/http://globalss.virtualave.net:80/index.html Original archive link to said website if interested. It also shows on the front page when the servers were officially shutdown as well. Edited September 12, 2023 by Chad1233 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
