Man this game is the reigning king of RTS. Nothing has matched how fun this game was. I keep praying every year someone tries to make something similar in mechanics. Today's RTS games are trash.
I am a C&C Generals Zero Hour player since 2007. I've just discovered something new. I would like to write something about the lag problem in Zero Hour that has caused many people to stop playing. Zero hour v1.0 doesn't have any lag issue. Even in the Twilight flame map, you can play against 7 hard ai without any lag. (As in base game Generals v1.08) Also, path finding is way better on v1.0. For example, cliffs on maps don't matter in v1.0. The CPU doesn't gather vehicles at the edges of the cliffs. The units follow the path as they should. But path finding bug exits in v1.01, v1.02 , v1.03 and v1.04 There is also a massive memory leak bug in v1.01, v1.02 , v1.03 and v1.04. The reason for these errors is the game.dat file. 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 and 1.04 patches are official and released by EA. In short, although EA fixed a few bugs in Zero Hour with the patches, also these patches greatly damaged the game in terms of game performance and path finding. By comparing the "game.dat version 1.0" file with the "game.dat version 1.04" files, this error causing memory leak can be detected. As far as I know, the programming language of .dat files is Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. We can also use Hex editor or something. Someones should compare the 1.0 and 1.04 versions of the game.dat file and identify the differences. Then, version 1.04 of game.dat file should be fixed. (programming skills are required for this) NOTE: There are both v1.0 and v1.04 files in the archive. When you want to switch to v1.0, copy the v1.0 files to the ZH folder. Likewise, when you want to switch to v1.04, copy the v1.04 files to the ZH folder. (This is a manual method for switching between versions. You don't need any installation) Don't look at "Options" in the menu. The version written there is determined by the registry. You can test this yourself. Please play against 7 hard ai in twilight flame map in v1.0. (I repeat, the twilight flame map is an example used when testing. I think this is the most suitable map for use in testing because it is the most problematic map). You will understand what I mean. Here is the link: drive. google. com /file/d/1GcNszh7qLgRmdAqzb6j6kKQ1Rg99e4UV/view?usp=sharing NOTE 2: I already did "setting permissions of Replays folder" method but it never offered smooth gameplay like v1.0. As I said, the main cause of the problem is the "game.dat" file. Please make video about this.
the 1st strategy in any Zero Hour General games is to make sure u have steady income. u should have built your tech bldg then built at least 5 to 10 paradrops in order to guarantee steady flow of income to buy tanks, personnel, jets, etc.
You can actually use the aircraft carrier to explore and beat the second mission basically, just select ghe ship, and keep attacking random places to move the jets there
I beat that 2nd USA mission on hard without building any bases. I just use the carrier and battleships to wipe out the enemy base easily. That was easy as pie.
Same here when i was 8 i was so addicted to this game that my mom always yells at me to stop playing this game and my homework,,,but now i am 13 i still remember this game and still want to play this again ang again and again i miss this game very much
Si0r I suggest when trying to deal with many units at once, group them by pressing ctrl + any number on the keyboard. That way you only have to press the number you assigned them to select all of those units
I have to agree with samuelju2, I have some nostalgic feelings for this game with lan parties but if you think about the guy who made this video he might not be the best but I don't know if he has played this game along time ago but just some feedback on the creator of this vid, thanx for bringing back the nostalgia though 😀😁
sadly yes, its a shame really as other command and conquer games lasted a lot longer. This was on medium on hard is take a little longer unless you can micro manage well :).
I think a lot of regions and nations outside of the EU, and China are supposed to be in a state of disrepair or outright collapse, with the other 3 factions filling the power vaccums and fighting for it.
i know its an old comment, but if anyone comes across this, you can change the resolution in the game's files, and for some reason if you change it above the game's options it kind of forces anti-aliasing for some reason
Just seen your gameplay,dude.But seriously,why don't you build a god damn detention center to track enemy units and buildings?It could've made things way more easier for you.
"Oh I'm getting into a dragon tank, better start using a Chinese accent."
RIGHT!?!??! It is literally the best flaw in this game. xD
Maybe the tank has a voice distorter, like the Darth Vader suit? :P
"Hey guys look I'm Chinese now! *'Dragon Tank!*'"
Artemis 😂😂😂
*Drrraggon Tankk*
This is the best game in the world
+Sajjad Al hachami agree
Old, but gold! Certainly one of the best...
Sajjad Al hachami I agree
F GamingTV , its an old game most people dosent care anymore.
People have their own opinion but i say i like the game so i agree to you
Table of contents and accurate 3-word mission names:
0:00:00 Mission 1 / Oh Goddamnit, Baikonur!
0:12:50 Mission 2 / OP Ship Support (25:28 WALL HAX SPOTTED)
0:33:20 Mission 3 / Sino American Cooperation
0:53:40 Mission 4 / OIL OIL OIL!
1:38:38 Mission 5 / Ded Doc Thrax
Just a useful tip here: if you double-click when you have the particle cannon beam selected, it will move at twice the speed, covering 2x the ground.
In all versions or in Zero Hour only?
I remember the first time I play this game it was really fantastic and still fantastic
Man this game is the reigning king of RTS. Nothing has matched how fun this game was. I keep praying every year someone tries to make something similar in mechanics. Today's RTS games are trash.
I wouldn't call Starcraft II trash! But, yes, we need another game like Generals...
Check out Act of Aggression, it's the closest you can get to this for a newer game

God these are great memories

Command and Conquer may actually happen in the future. Sort of. There's a good chance of it. I'll be with the allies.

I loved this game, one of the best old games.. It was so nice, not to much details.. It was perfect :( Hope it works for win8.1 :(
No such thing as perfect, no matter what there's gonna be someone unsatisfied. But I agree it's a great game.

If you finish China,USA and GLA mission can take 5-8 Hours
How did you get that green crosshair/pointer on your screen? On mine it's just a default box thing, and I can't figure out how to change it.

You are a very terrible player, but still give you a like.
At least you record & play it for two hours.
Hi
I am not the best :), but i dont play and record these to show how good I am. I do this cause i enjoy it :). Ty for the vote :)

Oh how shit this game looks now. Generals 2 looks good. Unfortunately got cancelled.
never know might get a remastered version :D
Used to play this game. Got rid of old PC along with the game. Made me extremely sad.
ohh i miss this game...

An easy way to win Mission 2 is to just order the Aircraft Carrier to Guard where the GLA base is. They'll send jets there non-stop.
UberCharger56 I would so do that and use the battle ships too
foarte interesant clip ,felicitari si sa pui si altele !!!

Mission 3: I wonder what Russia was doing. Why would they allow American and Chinese operations on their own territory?
I think a lot of regions and nations outside of the EU, and China are supposed to be in a state of disrepair or outright collapse, with the other 3 factions filling the power vaccums and fighting for it.
They have some business with Ukraine ....
