I'd be up for a causal game once in a while.
The only 2 things I really detest about it are:

If I use a FoV fix ( so I can zoom out more, it's only editing a number in a .ini or so) it will conflict with others saying different version.
And:
It's not 100% stable, I loved playing 2v6 brutal ai's with a mate, the game has a tenancy to crash late game ( especially on large and/or custom maps), or constantly freeze/ judder when the AI fails with it's pathfinding ( also on stock maps, which is a programming fail).


I'm rubbish vs actual people though, always get my *** kicked online.
But I would be up for a game or 2 once per week or so...

Zero hour , tonight some time? :)
 
I could get the single player working and login for MP, but it wouldn't go any further. Might reinstall and have a look at the fix suggested here.
 
Cool dude, just tell me when you're ready, I should be free this evening.

Easier if you add me on msn ( see left or trust) or xfire or steam ( snovvdog).
 
Running as administrator and in compatability mode, still not working for me :(

Has the launch screen and then dissapears!
 
Works for me in 7.


Lastest version ( the one from the first decade dvd).
Win7 x64 using the hidden admin account ( everything is automatically run as administrator).
Not sure if I did anything else to it, it's been at least half a year since I played it ( just tested it if it works).
No compat modes...
 
Me and snowdog had some good games yesterday ;) , Anyone else is welcome to join us.
Me and snowdog would like another 2 players for some good 2v2's.

Bah! Still couldn't get it to work last night, think I may try re-installing into the non x64 program files folder, see if that makes it work. Really want to play it!!

I think I just cracked it boys and girls.

I installed it onto my brothers W7 rig and it worked just fine. So I've taken a copy of all his files and brought them over. I noticed that my Documents folder was different to his - was missing the options.ini file, however his only had 2 small lines.

Anyways, heres how to fix.

First, Open up your Generals or Zero hour folder in My Documents. Delete everything in there.

then make a Maps folder.

Then, make a text/notepad document and name it "Options.ini"

Open it up and input the following:

IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
StaticGameLOD = Low
