Now available from FileShack are two new downloads for the PC version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: the 1.05 English patch and World Builder map creator.

The latest patch for EA LA's alternate history RTS packs a number of bug fixes and tweaks, along with the ability to de-authorize past installations to get around its DRM.

Major v1.05 higlights:

DRM De-authorization - if you've maxed out at 5 machines, you can easily de-authorize any installation in-game with a few simple clicks
Balance exploit fix - Added capture delay on Engineers
Balancing Allies vs. Empire of the Rising Sun --- Specifically tuning Allied aircraft rush against Rising Sun
Added the ability to see player's stats in the online lobby
Added Co-op lobbies - so you can easily find your next best-friend-co-Commander
Official Release of Red Alert 3 Worldbuilder - download it above!
A critical list of balance and technical changes

Hmmm excited to see if the final game is better than the 360 demo.

Very cool update with the DRM thing. I just hope I don't forget to do this with a format. But with 5 machines... I should be fine. Even then, I can still call.

I will take this, all day and every day, since I don't also have to have the DVD in the drive.

One thing that REALLY needs to happen in the patch world is if you finish the last mission, your co-op commander doesn't get to see the end video. There also needs to be an easier way for two players to switch between being commander / co-commander. Finally, if I beat a mission as a co-commander, I should have that mission in my chapters list.

Awesome! I might finally buy this if they've adequately addressed my major gripe which stopped me buying... my worry that I will screw up the activation limit and be locked from reinstalling the game. Still not ideal, but easier to swallow. It's been very tempting to get the *ahem* 'DRM-free' version of the game because of my dislike for the activation limits, even though I have never pirated a game >.>

I enjoyed the demo. More so than the last C&C game that came out at least.

Now all they have to do is make co-op online less of a hassle.. Something like auto match-up, if people are playing on a specific difficulty the game browser automatically matches up 2 people that are on the same mission or something like that.

Any game that has this sort of install limitation DRM should have a De-Authorization tool. It's ludicrous to force people to contact customer support to do that.
