Update Command and Conquer Generals and the Zero Hour expansion.
In a time of modern war, recent military aggressions around the globe have many nations worried. Between the United States, China, and the Global Liberation Army, tensions run high. Their leaders profess no interest in escalating the situation, but words ring hollow when satellite photos tell a different story. UNITED STATES: Americas military leader must use the worlds most advanced military to root out an elusive foe. Eradicating the cell-based GLA will take courage, conviction, and the will to see a prolonged campaign through to the end. GLOBAL LIBERATION ARMY: Facing superior firepower, the GLA embraces bio-terrorism, sabotage, and suicide bombings to further its political agenda. But leading a chaotic group of freedom fighters against two global superpowers will take some doing. CHINA: No longer just a red-communist step-child, China's modern army is well financed, with a strong nationalistic bent. Parading technology like Dragon Tanks and nuclear missiles, China's military goes beyond simple troop numbers. Features: Wage real-time war in more ways than ever with a modern and near-future arsenal. Command the powerful U.S. forces, the vast Chinese war machine, or the resourceful Global Liberation Army. Battle it out in unprecedented detail on full 3D environments. All-new units and tactics with maximum destructive capability, including Aurora Strike Bombers, Dragon Tanks, and much more. Team up with eight friends or go head to-head in massive online multiplayer battles.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I don't know: I've been playing Zero Hour for more than a year, and I used to be totally addicted. It worked absolutely perfectly., and if i could give it 6 stars, I would. But lately it's been crashing on me, and more and more often (the heavy kind of crash with full freeze and hard reboot).
Even after quitting all other apps, repairing permissions, running DiskWarrior, reinstalling, running from another system etc...
The support team at Aspyr was quick to respond, but they couldn't do much: they advised me to delete some files that may have become corrupted. Which I did. But it's still crashing. As a matter of fact, it has become impossible to play: the game's just gone.
Since the problem started a few weeks ago, could it be that the file corruption is caused by Tiger 10.4.5 or one of the Security Updates?
An incredibly sad story. I honestely can't recommend Zero Hour until this crashing issue's solved.
still quite unstable

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have two monitors. If I set the game to the larger of the two, that is, the 20â?? Apple flat panel, the program crashes on startup. If I switch to the other monitor, the games starts but canâ??t get past the first animation screen. (Canâ??t pick â??Solo Gameâ??, etc.) Great job, ASPYR!
Great Update

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Game works well when nothing is running in the background. It takes a lot of CPU power. My only complaint is that no matter how much I try, I can't get custom maps to work (or to be installed for the game to use).

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a great game if it actually worked!
I haven't compleded one network game do to it's instabilities and crashes.
At the school lab we had more issues with the G5s than the G4s but it crashed everytime.
Bugs:
Red colored terrain
White terrain
Crash when terrorist truck clones as another vehicle
Crash when amry mob goes to attack chinese vehicles
And many other unknown causes of crashes.
Plus the performance was quite poor for playing on the highest end G5s.
This is just an overall dissapointment for what seems to be a fun game.
