Re: C&C: Generals / Zero Hour - Windows10 x64 Freezes every 10seconds

@CDN_Dissident

The engine used in Generals is very unoptimized, and freezing issues were a thing even since the game was first released. You can minimize the performance issues by installing GenTool.

As for RA2/YR, please follow the "Handling Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge on Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10" section in this guide: http://www.cncnz.com/features/technical-support-help-guides/installing-command-conquer-red-alert-2-yuris-revenge/

These are quite old games, so issues are always to be expected.

  • Tried pretty much everything. Issues still persist. Random temporary freeze/Not Responding. Every 25-30 seconds freezes for 25-30 seconds. 

  • Updated drivers for 1070.

    Tried both my screens individually.

    Tried compatibility modes.

    Tried GenTools (played with settings)

    Tried (unsuccessfully) to play in windowed mode.

    Combinations of the above.

    Now that I think about it, one of my peripherals was causing a weird issue with MGSV, so I'll try to unplug all the extra USB stuff and see if that does anything.

    On the positive side of things, I tried it on my laptop and it works flawlessly. So this issue is for sure tied to my PC somehow. 

    ETA: Unplugging all extra USB connections did not resolve the issue.

    I have this problem too, did you solve it?

    I really love this game but like this it is unplayable.
