How to set higher resolution

[ELoyros]

How to set higher resolution:

* Go to C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data
* Open the file named Options.ini
* Go where it says "Resolution =" and change the resolution to your liking, for example: Resolution = 1920 1080
* save the file and exit.

I see the folder but the file never appears.

maybe run the game first, that will probably force create the file

Go to properties and add this to launch options.

-xres 2560 -yres 1440

Change to your desired resolution obviously.

I found the file (options.ini) in my C-drive --> Users --> User --> Documents --> Command and Conquer Generals Data (+Zero Hour) --> Options.
There I just pasted the above text into that file.

NOTE: You may need to change the 14th line, Resolution, to whatever your native resolution is. For me, it was "2560 1440". But for others it may be less.

Also, you need to initially start the game and let it give you the "technical difficulties" error, and then do the same thing with the Zero Hours expansion, before changing the (options.ini) file.

Thank you ! My folder also wasn't showing the options file but this worked perfectly.
