FIx the Game !!!

[[ORDER] KNT]

You Released this on Steam again with zero fix for modern hardware. Not everyone like using some third party software to make the game playable. The publisher should fix the game and at least give us a steam online multiplayer feature.

It works perfectly for everyone. The only ones who struggle are those who don't know how to install framework software or use simple mods. I'm so glad EA released this as-is! EA ruined the C&C series, so at least they have enough respect to not further ruin it.

the solution is almost the same for windows as it is for linux.
you need to launch the game one time and it crashes. then you go to my documents and the zero hour map should be there Make the Options.ini File your self.

The game will be stuck on the splashscreen.

To launch the game, go to:

<Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/2229870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Data/

Create a file named (the capitalized 'O' is important):

Options.ini

Open this file then add:

AntiAliasing =
DrawScrollAnchor =
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
LanguageFilter = false
MoveScrollAnchor =
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 800 600
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 50
SendDelay = no
StaticGameLOD = Low
UseAlternateMouse = no
VoiceVolume = 70

after that
go to your steam install directory for zerohour/generals
and add the d3d8.dll file from https://www.gentool.net/

I agree that support for games like this is abysmal and that it would be better if the fixes were included in the game directly. GOG.com dous a better job to deliver old games then steam dous as their games directly work from the install they go to greater lenghts to make those games work for the end user giving them a game that has the modifications it requires to run under modern operating systems and your not required to have a online connection to play unlike steam that just puts the game there and your on your own to find a fix.

you're asking EA, who's notorious for giving zero hours (pun intended) of support beyond a small window, to care about a game off a developer group that is long gone by now (2003)

[magatronkiller]

does anyone know how to fix zero hour cause every time i play it it gives me 'you have encountered a serious error' and i have tried genpatcher and other methods but nothing works but generals and the other command and conquer games run fine its just zero hour why does EA ♥♥♥♥ with my childhood.

They didn't. Time did, and newer Windows versions. And a lot of the crashes in these old games are still 100% authentic original bugs from back then

I totally agree with you, at some point I have downloaded the genpatch and other "alternative" programs with those resolution improvements and other details but when scanning the behavior of those .exe and analyzing the content there is a great possibility that "some little gift" will come "In fact, if you scan some dlls, and the .exe are infected with Trojans, there are high security risks and the behaviors are quite "strange" if you start to analyze them in detail, I agree that such a game "EA" should put its developers to the test. work for a little while on this game to "make those tweaks" regarding resolution, compatibility and graphic improvement. Personally, I solved the resolution by editing the option.ini file and I was able to improve the resolution.

[last light of the library]

Those Trojans you found are just the nocd cracks for the disk versions which can no longer run on windows 7 and after without them.
An AV cant distinguish between it being bad or not.

[ta1lee]

Same damn problem I had back when it ran on origin. Switches the TV to incorrect aspect ratio & dumps open windows into the other screen.
