Re: Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Technical Difficulties

The error message is pretty unhelpful and the popup suggests lots of things that might be a problem that sends you off on a rabbit hunt.

I have just resolved one reason, it seems that this might have caused the serious error with the Ultimate collection. It didn't affect the Generals version, just Zero hour so I followed up the error message generated. The serious error was shown in my Documents folder in a sub folder called 'Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data'. The problem was with a .ini file that had been created when a 3rd part map had been played, it seems.

Initially I just moved the mapcache.ini file into a folder out of the way (I called it Temp to be able to return it later should I need to) and VOILA! Problem solved and C&C Generals Zero Hour was back up and running.

Hope anybody else with a 'serious error' popup gets to see this and try it, 'cos it was a really quick fix.

    I tried it and it makes sense but what about how it makes every time. It automatically creates the file after every game.

    @mondeopolo What about how it file in the game makes every time you do that? The file is created every time you do play a game. It makes sense what you are saying though.
