Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour You have encountered a serious error

[mondeopolo]

The error message is pretty unhelpful and the popup suggests lots of things that might be a problem that sends you off on a rabbit hunt.



I have just resolved one reason, it seems that this might have caused the serious error with the Ultimate collection. It didn't affect the Generals version, just Zero hour so I followed up the error message generated. The serious error was shown in my Documents folder in a sub folder called 'Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data'. The problem was with a .ini file that had been created when a 3rd part map had been played, it seems.



Initially I just moved the mapcache.ini file into a folder out of the way (I called it Temp to be able to return it later should I need to) and VOILA! Problem solved and C&C Generals Zero Hour was back up and running.



Hope anybody else with a 'serious error' popup gets to see this and try it, 'cos it was a really quick fix.

Ok, i got the fix. i got the same error on a laptop.  on my desktop the game ran and opened fine, i swapped my drive over to the laptop and same error,  all you have to do is open the Genpatcher then go to additional content. then switch borderless fullscreen from off to on.   

i tried everything else prior to this.

@mrtnptrs I have the same problem i will try this fix too. Else i want a refund for the collection, i mean its 2022 those games are not even remade for windows 10. So i guess its an easy way to grab 30 EUROS. So sad i only wanted to play zero hour and it has technical issues...

@mx73 i will try this too. You get the message of the technical issue?
