How to fix problems with C&C Generals and Generals Zero Hour on Windows 10

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a way to run Command and Conquer Generals and Generals Zero Hour on Windows 10 and I think I have finally found it. Not sure if it will work for the Origin version though. The guide is down below.

Step 1:

Go to:

[C:\Users\username\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data] FOR GENERALS.

and or 

[C:\Users\username\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data] FOR GENERALS ZERO HOUR.

Step 2:

Make a new text document and name it "options.ini" and paste the following,

AntiAliasing = 1
CampaignDifficulty = 0
DrawScrollAnchor = 
FirewallBehavior = 1
FirewallNeedToRefresh = FALSE
FirewallPortAllocationDelta = 0
GameSpyIPAddress = 10.0.0.2
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 10.0.0.2
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
LanguageFilter = false
MoveScrollAnchor = 
MusicVolume = 0
Resolution = 1024 768
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 16
SendDelay = no
StaticGameLOD = High
UseAlternateMouse = no
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
VoiceVolume = 70

Step 3:

Don't worry, you will be able to change those settings later, but once you have done this, boot the game and it should work (If you are using the first decade version at least).

Patch your game to version 1.04 if you want, then change the setting either in the "options.ini" document or in the options in game.

If you then want 1080p support, just change the numbers in the "options.ini" document to "1920 1080" or whatever resolution you want.

Have fun,
