In fairness, I haven't tried online multiplayer yet, just a few skirmishes. Hey presto! It worked, debunking the myth that C&C Generals will not run on 64 bit systems (as some people have been saying). I used the "Change settings for all users" button at the bottom and changed to Windows XP (SP3),Īs well as checking the "Run as administrator box".

Then change the game's compatibility mode by right clicking on the game in the start menu, clicking on properties and then the Compatibility tab. It might also be worth making sure no files are "Read-Only" in that folder. Now the key bits - firstly, make sure that you have full read/write permissions for the Command and Conquer Generals Data folder - do this by right clicking on the folder, then properties then the security tab and change the permissions forĪll users. This is simply how the game remembers what options you picked (music volume, brightness and the like) and you can change them once the game is running using the options menu. You can fight cheaters, extremely experienced players, or simply Zerg Rushers in C&C.Before you save, paste this text into the file to get you started: There is no matchmaking scheme so there’s no telling who you’ll be fighting against. While local games of up to 8 players are fun with friends, playing with strangers online is a different matter entirely. Lastly, this expansion introduces online play, either through LAN or through the internet. Be warned though: the final “boss” is a General that utilizes technologies from all factions. This is a crossover between campaign and skirmish, giving you a series of increasingly difficult and self-contained battles with AI-controlled players. One of these modes is the Generals’ Challenge, where you take on the mantle of a General and battle other contenders. You can also check out new gameplay modes not available in the original.

Not only are there new missions to play, but it reintroduces a feature not available in the base game: live-action cutscenes where mission briefs are handed to the player. You get to complete additional story-driven tasks for the USA, the Global Liberation Army, and China - in the same order. The main feature of C&C: Generals Zero Hour is its three new campaigns, each having five missions.
