command and conquer generals [ Edited ]

so i did some web searching and that didnt do much good. when ever i try to run the game i get this error please make sure you have directx8.1 or higher installed. also verify the video card meets the minimum requirements. i tried installing direct 8.1 from the game files but that didnt do the trick and turned off UAC. i am running windows 10 64 bit. also i tried compatibility settings with no luck.

@JohnPoyoKirby You really tried everything I said and have no modifications installed? Then please try to update your graphics driver and re-install the game.

@JohnPoyoKirby Please follow these steps: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals#DirectX_8.1_error_.28Windows.29 Please follow these steps, even if you think you've already done so. Please report back if that worked.

@JohnPoyoKirby Disable all applied compatibility settings to how they previously were. You're sure you really followed all the steps and didn't skip some, because you think you've already done them? If you did everything, then please try all the steps below ""Technical Difficulties" error/Serious Error": https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals#.22Technical_Difficulties.22_error.2... I've heard that these solutions could also help with this error, especially the Options.ini-solution. Please report back if it helped

hey guys, my laptop is using an amd radeon graphics, and when it starts loading, it shuts down after a while, and when i run troubleshoot it says its compatibility , how do i solve this?

Simple fix:

delete dbghelp.dll from game folder

(do a search in the program files x86 folder and you'll find it).

That's it.  Works perfectly now  :-)

Enjoy
