Zero Hour just Lagging on Windows 11 Help

[haveag00dtime91]

Hello from Germany,

i try to play Zero Hour with GenTool and the Mod Shockwave aswell since maybe 2 Weeks.

I have installed Windows 11 on my Laptop, i have the following Components inside:

Prozessor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12500H, 2500 MHz, 12 Kern(e), 16 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
Installierter physischer Speicher (RAM) 16,0 GB
BIOS-Version/-Datum LENOVO MCCN24WW, 04.09.2023
Name Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics
Adapter-RAM 2,00 GB (2.147.479.552 Bytes)
^
So i think its enough to play the game without lagging?

I had tried to disable Anti analising to zero or set different display resolutions, nothing happens. I tried to put everything in the Windows Settings to Performance. But the games till laggs.

I hope somebody could help me.

Thanks :)

By any chance, are you playing on the map Twilight Flame? This map is notorious for causing massive lag when playing against AI.

Hello, thanks for your Answer. No im just Playing Custom Maps, which i had downloaded.

But if to explain my Problem just a little bit more: I´m playing mostly The USA / WA . And i build many Patriot Missles on the Ground, when the Enemy attacks and the Missiles are firering, then everything Starts to lag.

Is there any reason that my Components are too weak for a Game which is over 20 Years old? Or do i have to change the optinos ini or the Graphic Settings? But i thought that was made with the GenTool which i have too.

Its really wired for me that the Game isnt running good. Every 10 Minutes there is a Blackscreen, and i see my Desktio for maybe 20 Seconds, then the game Changes back in the Game :D

Build less patriots or lower the particle thing in the options menu. (it's the effect that's causing your lag)
the engine can only handle so much that's why it is having issues its quite old with a lot of hard coded caps for what it can do.
as for game going black that's not normal. try to verify your game files.
