Auto-Update from EA that ruin my CNC General Zero Hour

Not sure how to start this:

More than 10 years of playing Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hours with NO problems. A couples of updates since this year of 2024 seemed to be running well. But on the update 03-14-2024 EA added the Microsoft Visual C++ x86 Redistributable 10.0.40219 and it ruined the graphic images of my game. You updated the game too and your EA app. Can I put a stop to this auto-updates? 

In order to fix the video issue, I had, I have to remove the game and reinstall again. But all my modes are gone. Sad!

    Not only that, but other ways to play it (I use the keyboard to move the camera) are no longer there. And to top it all off, they continue as always not being able to play multiplayer. We used Gentool (which yes, we know, is not yours and is not legal according to your ethics, but it worked to play with people online), but it no longer works. You end up making people hate and criticize you, because of how badly you keep doing things. Honestly, you can't do worse, and the curious thing is that you continue selling the games without fixing things a little, just a little.
    (And do not excuse yourself that it was the update, that it is as it already was and blah blah blah). There are communities of players who then patch to play the games online for example, and you will say that that is wrong.
    I think that in my opinion, you are the ones who do things wrong, instead of doing them with a little professional ethics, and you would be the best.

    I repeat EA Your ethics are shameful, taking money for nothing. (like Dire Straits title)
     
    Now, i put in my language too...
     

    No solo eso, sino que además, otras formas de jugarlo (yo uso el teclado para mover la cámara), ya no está. Y para colmo, siguen como siempre de no poder jugar multiplayer. Usabamos Gentool (que si, lo sabemos, no es vuestro y no es legal segun vuestra ética, pero funcionaba para jugar con la gente online), pero ya no funciona. Acabáis haciendo que la gente os odie y critique, por lo mal que seguís haciendo las cosas. Sinceramente no podéis hacerlo peor, y lo curioso, es que seguís vendiendo los juegos sin arreglar un poco, solo un poco las cosas. (Y no os excuséis que si ha sido la actualización, que si es como ya estaba y bla bla bla). Hay comunidades de jugadores que luego parchean para jugar online los juegos por ejemplo, y diréis que eso está mal.
    Creo que en mi opinion, que son ustedes, los que hacen las cosas mal, en vez de hacerlas con un poco de ética profesional, y seríais los mejores.

    -Os escribo desde España- perdonad a los jugadores/usuarios mi inglés, ayudado en parte por traductor. Espero se me entienda bien.

    Repito EA
    Vuestra ética es vergonzosa, sacar dinero por nada. (como el título de Dire Straits)
