I've finished C&C : Renegade on Commando difficulty.

An FPS version of Command&Conquer?

Yes.
Gamespy had a beta launch demo back then where you can 10 v 10 in a single map.
So the objective for MP was to destroy the opposing side's command center by planting a C4 on it.
You earn cash by killing opposition or protect your harvester. And then spend it on new class or vehicles like Stealth Tank, etc.

It's pretty cool.

Don't mess with the psycho mouse grandma.

I sure wish I had my boomstick right about now.

But a boomjar will do as well.

Let's roll!

Oy vey! We better be careful.

On top of things.

Pretty colors.

FREEDOM!!

Just chillin'

Of course!

Is that hi-rez mod? Looks nice.

Now I see where teabagging came from.

I had never gotten around to this even though I've owned the game since release. The turn-based combat is pretty cool but everything else is pretty awful. The inventory system in particular is just terrible.

And the combat on the sequel is shit.

Turn fast translucency off, and detail textures on.

You may also try using hardware acceleration.

Thanks for the tip about the fast translucency, but detail textures aren't available via software rendering.

Some really excellent puzzles, and of course several moments of "how the fuck did I miss that item." I still have a mostly loving relationship with point and clicks, but damn do they also piss me off the most.

obligatory WTF

Compare this writing to the first game. This is not even the most cringeworthy example.

Nothing personnel, midget.

You're right (just checked).
You can at most tweak detail bias.

Do make sure that other options are set - high detail actors, shiny surfaces, volumetric lighting, texture filtering, etc.
If running unpatched there is also an option to enable a sort of software tesselation, but it works somewhat wonky on some models and was causing mindbogglingly massive FPS hit back in the day when, for example, something got gibbed.

Ah, the memories.

I'll look into detail bias, and I've set other options too after you reminded me that UE games usually need some ini tweaking for even better results. I'm running the Gold version (it's currently free on Steam and GOG btw so you might want to grab it in case you want a backup and don't own it yet), and curved surfaces aren't available in the software mode as far as I remember. Curved surfaces usually looked like ass when I enabled them in the cancelled Hired Guns remake, but never tried them in other games.

Unreal is definitely better than I remember -- when I beat it as a kid I missed a lot of tiny details and now I'm enjoying it to the max.

Curved surfaces are in the display tab, not rendering. Guess it's because they are pretty much independent of renderer as they deal with geometry and HW tesselation wasn't invented yet.
They are very YMMV, though and it wasn't necessarily a bad decision to kill them in the patches, even though it cost some bragging rights.
Detail bias = lower -> sharper. The values go down to -1, I think.
