command and conquer generals zero hour patch no cd

Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer.

Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game).

Though many of its patches have been rendered obsolete by newer unofficial patches: The Unofficial 1.03 patch for TFD already removed all requirements for the DVD anyway. and the reason it no longer works is because Microsoft released a patch that disables SafeDisc/SecuROM, the DRM system used by TFD. If you do what's above and still have issues it would be worth looking at the thread for Windows 8.1 and adding the options.ini as specified. I don't believe those changes had any bearing on making it work in Windows 10, but i can't be sure because i wen't through those processes earlier to no avail. I did try all of the things noted in the Windows 8.1 proposed thread before i tried anything on my own. Disable display scaling on high DPI settings (this fixed an issue with my mouse jumping all over the screen) Compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)Ģ. Install no-cd patch (game.dat + generals.exe copied over top of existing files in install directory)ġ. Clean install of C&C Generals Zero Hour updated to latest patch (1.04)ģ. Clean install of C&C Generals updated to latest patchĢ. Part 1 - install (Non origin install, original CDs):ġ. I will also sum up my resolution again real quick leaving out no detail for those who may have gotten stuck:

Let me know if this works (or doesn't) for anyone else, or if you have other solutions.Ĭould you provide the link to the no-cd patch you used? Used no-cd patch to bypass the secdrv driver error.Clean install of C&C Generals (non-origin install, original CD).The no-cd patch is not something i would normally use, but in this case it seems like it is the only way to make the game work. After spending 2 - 3 days on and off (and most of today) i got the game running on Windows 10 圆4.Īfter playing around with the driver, and it signature, enabling / disabling signature enforcement, i had the thought that the secdrv driver is actually related to the secure rom which is used to validate the disk and lock the game down (don't know how accurate that statement is.)Īnyway, it occured to me that if that was the case, the game might work with a no-cd patch, and indeed it does.
