Updated: 23-01-2012 Recently (12 August 2009) I installed from TFD, Generals Zero hour for some old good fights after i saw in you tube the Generals Trailer 1 at E3 that made me wanna revisit that game. Now i am running Windows 7 x64 and after installation the program didn't run. so here is what you should do to make it run Make sure you have the latest Direct-X 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get it from Microsoft make sure you have windows 7 service pack 1 at least installed! make sure you have the LATEST Graphic Drivers installed for your VGA Card and that meets the game's requirements! make sure that both Generals and Zero hour its on its latest patch version! TFD should be updated! (must be a clean installation no other MODS etc!) into your "user" directory (named with your user account yeah you know there where you see the folder my pictures, my music etc) in there go to "My Documents" well there after trying to run the game you would see a Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data folder. open it. right click and create a new empty .TXT file and rename it options.ini (make sure you see the extension .txt and you don't end up having a stupid file named options.ini.txt!) if you dont know how to see the files extension in windows 7, Google it or get an Xbox to play now copy the following lines inside and Save it! **warning in the resolution section put your resolution********* ***also some LOD settings may not work with your VGA card! remove those lines if you cant run the game!**** AntiAliasing = 1 BuildingOcclusion = yes CampaignDifficulty = 0 DynamicLOD = yes ExtraAnimations = yes GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 Gamma = 50 HeatEffects = yes IPAddress = 0.0.0.0 IdealStaticGameLOD = Low LanguageFilter = false MaxParticleCount = 5000 MusicVolume = 55 Resolution = 1366 768 Retaliation = yes SFX3DVolume = 79 SFXVolume = 71 ScrollFactor = 60 SendDelay = no ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes ShowTrees = yes StaticGameLOD = Custom TextureReduction = 0 UseAlternateMouse = yes UseCloudMap = yes UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no UseLightMap = yes UseShadowDecals = yes UseShadowVolumes = yes VoiceVolume = 70 then Right Click on your Generals / Zero Hour shortcut (if you don't have make one), in Widows 7 most games make there shortcuts into the "GAMES" menu in Start Menu and in the Compatibility Tab just select Windows XP SP3 and click "Run as administrator" option too (if you are not an admin) that's it go inside change your settings and restart the game. other alternative simpler solution: windows 7 x64 SP1 (service pack1 is crucial!) clean install of the game and patch to latest versions! change compatibility of the main .exe to Windows XP sp3 (so that the main menu shellmap works ok) run the game for 1st time and during this run go to setting and change everything you want! (besides resolution) then exit game and locate the options.ini i told you before in your Documents\Generals Zero Hour data\ folder change there only the resolution line to your screen's native. (ex Resolution = 1366 768) save and rerun the game. you are done! Have fun that's an order!

i never understood why the silos had "poop" or mustard inside them! because this is not "gold" lol. now in HD looks even more strange hehehehe they look like poop recycling silos

1) Explosions need remastering 2) Some building models look tooo shinny and clean not realistic enough, looks too reflective.( like Terrans in sc2 beta and then Blizzard made them more griddy) definitely excited about it.

its wonderful! it keep's the old style with new a bit more colored icons, and moderns GUI from RA2. i just don't remember if the bottom of the power energy bar should be red, then yellow then green :/

wow thats so nice and brings back so much memories with SuperAuto cards i can do that "easily enough" as a software engineer i have done way more complicated softwares. well i may luck some animation skills but i will get it in a similar way and in a much higher resolution. the only "problem" is i need someone to help out extract all the unit data from the latest official versions and give them to me in a particular format i will ask them. then some graphics of the units..... and i can have this done in few days i do not know thought if there would be anyone interested.... with some extra work i can even write some netcode and do it play in multiplayer mode with another player, LAN or WAN (ok WAN will need even more work f the user has no idea how to open ports in his router and we will need to host a server....omg i am getting this toooooooo far away i think...... but still is possible). p.s i would not do a CnC4 version thought sorry. hate that game

we are getting out of topic, but seriously Grey Goo, is a nice game, just he goo function a bit tooooo wierd, and that the fact there is no other RTS game out there besides starcraft 2 now, makes it even better. AoA was promising, but doesnt have any "soul" for me, as the CnC series did. so since EA keeps holding hostage that IP, we will propably never see a great CnC game ever again.- if only Blizzard decided to make another modern warfare RTS game like sc2.............. not w3. oh boy.....

i lost interest after seen the word "mobile" lets go back playing some Grey Goo RTS games

its sad, and i do not get it. why they just sell the damn IP to someone that is willing to do something. if they are not using it, and they are not making money of it, sell it and let it go. > i miss the old cold war days Starcraft or Warcraft vs CnC or RedAlert

oh cool... so its gonna be like 1 per week or so?

...keep throwing money at screen....

did i got spoiled and i am waiting for the 10th days now?

you forgot to update post1! and as i said , people will miss that ;-)

rolf! brilliant! i like the guys reaction next to the grenader. p.s maybe the background blur is too blurry? maybe..

Thanks for listening i think you should make a nice wordpress blog just for your series. i f you need help, hosting, and all the backend stuff done, i can help you with that for free on fast server farms (USA & UK). just P.M. p.s i hate and i don't use FB

amazing work thank you! but would be more practical if you could post this in another template or locked thread cause with all this post replies it's inconvenient to follow! please try to remove the replies to a separate open thread and lock this open with only the episodes!

RED ALERT 1. the most exeptional storyline, serious and addicted to the last mission! if only they could make a remastered HD version of this baby in 3D (not talking about OpenRA)

approved! now later one maybe a facelift on the forums i guess. p.s oot, why the hell do i still have this "1 warning point" since 2013?? :/ should not be removed automatically?

looks VERY promising!!!

in other words, "if you want to play our games, make your own server and pay for them community". because the community is amazing blah blah blah, and they will find a way to make it work without paying from our side a single dollar! meanwhile over the Blizzard shore, last September (2013) they just updated their FAQ documentation on Warcraft II system requirements.

i thought it was the "release date" of a "final" product that will have updates / fixes etc, not the release date of an "open BETA"! exited, but suprized.

i told my self not to reply, but damn i just can't resist this bs. yeap. i know once agian you may even delete my posts because you don't like it, but i dont care i will say what i have to say. based on the above, if i search back in the forum history when people where saying EXACTLY the same things about Victory games, and that we see this is going nowhere and we are going very very slow, and that they haven't made up their minds yet, and that the managers are gonna probably screw this game once more YOU specially you since you obviously admited that you are running a website Just to say Possitive things You above all where so against us you where attacking with bs excuses any single posts of the rest of the users sharing the same opinion like me, and you where trying to defend, what? this?! and now you are turning jsut like a damn Tree Leaf upside down where ever the wind blows you and say different things just because this game now is over? can someone change their opinion about a game from White to black? well yes they could but at least they should admit it. Even until now on page 1 you are posting against other users who fill that the poll is not fair, and your reply is actually "its my site and i will run it the way i like it!". and now you are changing again and you are "accusing" Victory games and now you can say publicly your "bad criticism" when everyone was saying that months ago? for the love of God you have even removed the up-voting and the down-voting system from the forum posts, because your posts was getting dislikes!!!!??? (yeah go ahead and find an other nice excuse for that "upgrade" now plz i am sure you will). It just also happens that this update on the posts voting systems take place NOW? when most of the users disagree with your tone of writing and your attitude against your visitors? i said many times in the past, a website with only Admins and mods and no Viewers and Fans its not a website, its a personal blog page. So don't call it a Fan website, because true Fans do harsh criticism because they want their game to succeed. Its not always roses and honey! we all have our opinions and we should be free to tell it and talk about it, not because its a negative opinion it has to be "silenced" and attacked and penalized! and as i said because i am 1000000% sure you will try once more to silence my voice, or give me a PM and a penalty (like i care) with the excuse that this is "off-topic" its NOT! this is about making a guided Poll towards the results you like and you favor! this is about not a FAIR poll! either you start listen more to your viewers because those are the ones that promote you and bring you traffic, or stop calling it a Fan website and change it to a "Personal C&C Blog". those are my 2 cents. p.s don't PM about penalties and the same stuff we talked the other time, you already know my answer. p.s2 i am not the only one thinking like that, i am just the only one that doesn't care to talk about it.

wow you are going to fast over there! well here (Greece GMT+2) we are still having lunch, but i wish to all of you guys-girls to have thε best year possible, with all the personal and professional success you wish! Καλή Χρονιά!
