Patch 1.09
Patch 1.09 was released in October 2007, and was the final official patch for the game. It is the only version compatible with the official Battlecast Viewer. It fixes a number of bugs, introduces a new multiplayer map, and makes numerous game balance changes.

It is the default version installed in Steam and Origin distributions of the game, including the release within The Ultimate Collection compilation. It is the only version to be properly installed in these releases, as .skudef files for versions 1.00 through 1.08 are omitted from them, disabling version switching with the '-runver' parameter.

The downloadable patch executable includes all the patches that were released before it.

Patch 1.10
Patch 1.10 was an unreleased patch, mostly balance-oriented and proposed by then-community manager Aaron Kaufman.

The patch was announced, but later cancelled to focus on development and support of Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
