Thanks Not a massive pc gaming fan, more of a console guy really, but the C & C franchise i've loved from day 1 (yep, THAT old) i've worn two sets of discs out playing and thought, after major issues with compatibility on my new (ish) pc it was goodbye forever, even tried to get my XP pc to keep going so i could jjust play it, but even that gave up the ghost after a while, that was until I came across your content. Thank you for this, I know its not much but here's a couple of Dollars (another 1st for me) hope it helps a little towards the next game chap. Cheers.👍

If you haven't yet, please switch off your virus scanner and try again. The following fixes have failed: -Onedrive fix Warning Code: W087" I've tried to disable it, but as soon as I click apply fixes it turns on. But thanks for everything and for helping me out I appreciate it.

basically, what you're saying is that to play generals you have to download and install their crappy app and get the non-physical version of the game. and for those like me who have the physical version of the game with the cd's? it's this version that real gamers want, not the virtual one.

full context: C&C-online is a website that has information about setting up playing through the built in multiplayer of the game. I think the setup is the same and requires gen-tool, but you also make an account on the revora forum and use that as your log in to play through the game. The community is tiny for Generals ZH and I've only seen private games for the most part.
