OpenTS-A v1.3.6 – Rendering Fixes

Fixes single-entry depth and transparency buffer resets leaving stale pixels during redraws.

Build and synthetic buffer checks passed. Device testing is still needed: this fix is not yet confirmed to resolve bridge flickering in GDI mission 1 or unit layering behind structures in mission 2.

OpenTS-A v1.3.5 – The Update Update

Adds Check for updates under Options, plus an optional startup check. Download newer published releases directly in the app, then confirm installation with Android.

Downloads are checked against their checksum and signing certificate. Game files, language packs, saves and settings are kept.

OpenTS-A v1.3.4 – Combat Crash Fix

Fixes unsafe target access after infantry fires, which could crash the game if its target was cleared. Missing weapon data is also checked.

Build and focused code checks passed. This fix has not yet been device-tested, and the reported gameplay crash is not confirmed resolved.

OpenTS-A v1.3.3 – Language Fixes

• Fixes Spanish mission briefings and adds Spanish translations for base-game objective messages.
• Fixes folder and ZIP imports stopping on duplicate files such as SNOW.INI by prioritising the main installation files.

These two fixes have not yet been tested in gameplay or through installation on a device. German and French language packs remain untested. Spanish is working but needs further testing.

OpenTS-A v1.3.2 – Languages Update

Adds language selection during setup, with automatic downloads for English, Spanish, German and French.

Language testing:

• English: campaign intros and startup controls tested.
• Spanish: working, but further testing is needed.
• German and French additional language packs: not yet device-tested.

Some Android controls/help text remains English, and German unit names remain English.

OpenTS-A v1.3.1 – Controls & Audio Fixes

Controls & Audio Fixes

• Removed the Selection box and Double-tap gestures switches from Touch Controls. Both gestures remain available.
• Swap pan / box drag is now ON by default: hold-and-drag pans, and double-tap-and-drag selects units. Existing saved choices are preserved; Reset Controls applies the new default.
• Fixed the first tap issuing a troop order when starting a double-tap pan. Battlefield taps now wait briefly for the double-tap interval.
• Fixed the bottom spacing of the main Options menu.
• Game audio now pauses when the app goes into the background.
• Fixed hold to move and attack.
• Updated the Modern Touch Controls Guide.

Install the APK over your existing version to keep your game files and saves. New players can use the built-in game-file download during setup.

OpenTS-A v1.3 — Easy Install Update

OpenTS-A v1.3 — Easy Install Update

OpenTS-A v1.3 makes getting Tiberian Sun running on Android significantly easier, while also bringing control, visual and stability improvements.

What's new

Easy game setup
OpenTS-A can now handle the freeware game setup directly from Android.

The APK does not contain Tiberian Sun game data. Required game files are obtained separately by the installer/setup system.

Stability
Fixed a native crash that could occur during longer or structure-heavy matches when a tag referenced a missing trigger.

This fix has been stress-tested with heavy structure building beyond the point at which the previous build crashed.

Updating from an older OpenTS-A release

You can install v1.3 directly over an existing properly signed OpenTS-A release.

You should not need to uninstall the previous version.

The upgrade path from the previous public release to v1.3 was tested successfully before release.

Installation

1. Download OpenTS-A-v1.3-Easy-Install-Update.apk.
2. Open the APK on your Android device.
3. Allow installation from your browser/file manager if Android asks.
4. Install OpenTS-A.
5. Launch the game and follow the game-file setup process.

OpenTS-A v1.2.1 – Fullscreen Fix

Fullscreen fix

Android’s Back, Home and Recent Apps buttons now stay hidden during gameplay, keeping them clear of the production sidebar. Swipe from the screen edge to reveal them temporarily.

Updating

Install the attached APK over your current release. Your game files, saves and settings are kept; you don’t need to import the game files again.

OpenTS-A v1.2 – New Control Option

OpenTS-A v1.2 – New Control Option
Adds a new Swap pan / box drag option under Touch Controls.
Swap pan / box drag OFF

• Drag selects units.
• Double-tap-and-drag pans the battlefield.
  Swap pan / box drag ON
• Hold-and-drag pans the battlefield.
• Double-tap-and-drag selects units.
  The setting is saved and remains compatible with existing saved settings.
  This is a separate V1.2 release; the previous release remains available unchanged.

V1 Welcome Back Commander

Corrected APK: version 1.0.1 (code 4)

The original V1 APK could close immediately after installation because its native engine library name did not match the Android launcher. The download below has been replaced with the corrected build. It also fixes a missing-source smoke crash after a cutscene. Re-download and install this APK over the earlier release; the release signing key is unchanged, so saves and game files can be retained.

Build, package library name, signature and checksum were verified. The latest smoke fix still awaits device testing. Corresponding hotfix source: https://github.com/g0ump45/OpenTS-A/tree/v1.0.1
