Patch?

[Nathan]

Got a tiny patch in my download queue, and it doesn't appear to be one of those typical Steam phantom patches everyone sometimes gets since the steam depot was also updated

Anyone know if there are or will be patchnotes somewhere?

(EDIT: apparently multiple C&C games are getting patches, RA2 got one, and if they didn't they have a similarly named private "eacc" branch that has been updated and will probably be rolled into public sooner or later)

etc

I would bet on that these tiny patches are the same westwood c&C ultimate edition patch on origin.

Dungeon Keeper 2 also got a similar sized patch too

They're patches on the DDrawCompat system. They also unlocked resolutions up to 1024x768 in Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge, because the originals actually supported that without any manual tweaks.

CCHyper (who has a bit of a "community manager" role for this project) has been working with the C&C Wiki people to document everything there. The August 1, 2024 hotfix patch is mentioned there.

Thanks for pointing that out. I looked a bit deeper into it, and apparently that change was only in RA2, since RA2 originally had that resolution as option. But it seems Tiberian Sun didn't. I edited my post now to indicate that.

You can easily confirm that for yourself; adding 1024x768 to the options in DDrawCompat.ini doesn't make it show up in Tiberian Sun's in-game resolution options, so that proves that it is not supported out of the box.

To unlock all resolutions, edit SUN.INI, and under the [Video] settings, add AllowHiResModes=yes. Then edit DDrawCompat.ini, and on the line that says SupportedResolutions=, which has a comma-separated list of all supported resolutions, add the option native to the end.
