Found a new fix for C&C Generals /zero hour stratup problem.

Hello, I've found a new way to fix C&C Generals and zero hour won't start and gives You the "Technical difficulties"error. I've tried every available fix and searched the internet for any fix , Yet no luck to fix the game. My last attempt was to use Virtual machine and install windows XP and lunch the game (and it worked, but at EXTREMELY SLOW FPS).

My problem was posted in the help forum :https://answers.ea.com/t5/C-C-The-Ultimate-Collection/Zero-Hour-won-t-work/m-p/6771071#M15888

So I've bought a new laptop and installed the game on Win 10 64x w/ latest updates BUT Disabled OneDrive and it worked flawlessly.

So I've uninstalled OneDrive from my PC and changed the default direction(using regedit) for "My Documents, Desktop,music,videos" from OneDrive's path to User's default path, Repaired the game using origin and lunched it and IT WORKED!!

Here's the way to change the Documents' path in the registry: https://superuser.com/questions/1205668/how-to-unlink-my-documents-folder-from-my-onedrive-account


Hope that helps.

  • @Thanatos-Tyrant Thank you soo much. I have been trying for a long time. I noticed some folders were linked by onedrive a while ago, done by previous user of this pc. You are the only one who pointed me in this direction. Btw the most recent reaction on the page that you pointed to gives a solution without you having to change your registry
