2024 UPDATE: A new video will be made showing you how to install the game via Steam. This video will likely go live within the coming weeks. I'm still researching and preparing everything to make the video. For now, the process is basically the same, just use Steam instead of the EA App.

Can u clarify if : Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection on EA , include zero hour? on steam it dose for sure. 2 is it on the EA game pass or not ? thank for your help. i will send the link in the next comment .
USA Airforce General for me every time! I used to load up a combat chinook with 2 humvees (each with with 5 x rocket soldiers inside) plus 2 x snipers in the spare seats. This made an incredibly fast moving and heavy-hitting airborne platform. Perfect for hit and run tactics or sneaking into an enemy base to cause some carnage.
BRO Thank you so much! I literally been trying to be able to play command and conquer: Generals for so long. This actually worked! Thank you!
Impeccable timing for this video, thanks Legi!
I haven't played in decades my friend, I got to say very good tutorials to help keep the game alive. thank you very much
I love you for the fix. When EA made the origin app obsolete and forced me to download the EA app all of my CnC games stopped working. Spent hours trying to figure out how to fix it over the course of almost a year

My Generals - Zero Hour ever time I run it ask me to give permission before it runs, I asked EA about this and got no reply so no more buying from EA, not that they have anything good, only the C&C games which they monopolise, and they keep sending emails telling me my EA play and I need to renew my monthly payment I never have signed up for this regular payment nonsense , this smells of a scamming out fit, avoid is my advice.
Thanks so much for this, I’m waiting for the next one to play on online This is one of the most comments ZH in appreciation
Thanks you this was great !!!! I could not get it to run on 11, but with your fix it was perfect.
thank you so much for this tutorial. i can finally play this masterpiece again without problems
thank you for bringing the genpatcher! it work flawless
Dude, you just made my day!
I am very happy that many people are still playing this game ❤️
Hehe remastered and renewed guide. Nice one Legi. Edit: Also had the chance to buy the Ultimate Collection for like 4-5 US dollars equivalent but that was like a year ago. Origin do have deals but very rare.
A lot of thanks man I tired to download before a weekend Big thx to you
Hey man, I just wanna say thank you because you been honest until everything which is truth, I do appreciate your videos and your work size Chanel thank you buddy
Legend thanks! Will try now
i love this game , played 20 years ago last time , but still good feelings about this amazing game
Thank you so much and this is the best way to play the Generals on Windows 11.
Finally I CAN RETURN to this game, thank you very much.
I have been waiting for 4 years for this and by the way I love Ur videos♥️.pov🥰: I watched Ur videos when I got my general deleted
THATS GREAT !
Thank you for these steps , much appreciated. Though Inflation is a pain and now these key sellers are a lot more expensive then retail price on the EA app. So I just went for the EA price.
Thank you so much, i was literally diying to get this game even if i paid for it and i did pay for it after watching your VID
thanks , it was very useful
C&C ultimate Collection are now out on steam folks
Hi.Ty for this tutorial 💙. When u will Knock out stream?
I used to play this game way way back with my friends and it's so much fun i hope i could play this game again❤️ Sad to say i dont have a laptop or pc Ion Cannon is the most destructive superweapon anyway wiping out any units or buildings on it's AOE arghhh fun memories❤️
THE LEGEND LEGI
One other issue I had that couldn't be fixed using GenPatcher & GenTool: Whenever I play large games (1 vs 7) with many units (like missile defenders), some of these units get stuck and won't move or attack anymore. It seems like they have trouble making their way through my patriot defense lines. After a while the game then crashes ("serious error"). The only solution I found was to not build any infantry units but only helicopters and aircraft, but this makes the game less fun. Do you have any other tips on how to prevent this bug...?
when i click fix in the dekstop appears 2 different command and conquer and both have bug when i click the units to move they stay there and they dont move how to fix it?...And when i open it from EA the game doing missmatch. HELP
it work thx a lot
Thank you very much ♥️♥️
Thanks for the video. The question is, would you go back after all is done and turn on the protection again?
thanks alot.
Hey! First of all, thank you very much, what you're doing for this game and its community is incredible. Just one question/issue I've had: I can't move the camera by moving the cursor to the edges on the screen when executing the game in Windowed mode. - I tried enabling/disabling borderless mode via GenPatcher but the problem persists. - This doesn't happen when launching from the 'normal' full-screen shortcut, but then the game tends to crash when Alt + Tabbing, so I'd rather fix the Windowed issue. Any ideas as to what could be happening there? Thank you very much!
Finally, after years.. I have a reason to buy me a PC :thumbs_up:
Yeah big legionnaire good job on the video
THX I WILL TRY IT
thank you so much
Hey, quick question I have the og “the first decade” disc and Manuel with keys in the back. But I no longer have a disk drive. Would the key work if I downloaded it using this method
WOWWWWWWWWWWWW it works !!!! Your the best thank you!!!! Im 63 years old and i haven't played CC in 15 years. Also can you help me download CC 2022. Im not a PC guru. Thank you for bringing me back nice old memories

HELP! Where can I download C&C Generals and Generals:Zero Hour? I go to the Origin website, click on Generals, it takes me to the "Remastered Collection", and I bought it and installed it, but Generals and Zero Hour are not there. ANy ideas? Thanks. Ken L
Thank you
Has anyone tried to install the game from the original CD's and gotten stuck on "Removing Applications"? I've been sitting there for 20 mins with the HD light going full like it's doing something, but it's really not. And what applications is the install program trying to remove? Seems odd.
I would like to add in an update. It is no longer called Origin. It is now the EA app.
If I am ready to play because I have done everything correctly, can I still switch antivirus on and play without any problems?
I love it to finally play this game again on my modern PC! One question: I've disabled the full screen windowed setting in Gen Tool, but I still can't edge scroll. How can I resolve this? Edit: apparently I'm an idiot: there are 2 shortcuts for ZH. 1 normal and 1 windowed. I played the normal full screen and that went well, until I finished a gen challenge mission and right after the victory screen I received an serious error :(
i have the collection on steam but can i use the same files to open the ORIGIN/EA app games?
I do now wonder, what version of the game is the best, the Complete Collection, TheFirstDecade, or straight off the CD's they came from.
Great vid as always Legi I’m really looking to start playing again - I’m looking to buy a laptop to be able play - any recommended specs to ensure ZH plays well? Cheers! David

Just bought the game from ea app... so now no origin app ... all stores mentioned are out of stock .. but it is available on ea app at 10$ ... all other steps are the same ... Thanks for the great genpatcher
when i tap multiplayer>online>login and it say (this game installation is not compatible wwith online matchs,remove custom game modification) but it is ok on cnc general only got problem in zero hour
One of thee est games ever!!
I need your help, i have already the game but later it starts crashing and now I cannot play it, so what step should I do ?
So i reinstalled zero hour after a long time being forgotten and had a question, im sure i remember that back in the day when i would drag the cursor to the edge of the screen, it would scroll the battlefield, and now it doesnt seem to scroll and i have to use my right mouse button to bring up the scroll function, does anyone know if theres a setting to enable scroll at screen edge? just feels somewhat limiting to not be able to just drag my pointer around to look round the map
When I launch a game the suppose to be transparent hud is just replaced with a pink rectangle, does anyone know how to fix this?
Slight qualm: I installed it from GenPatcher, and I loved the full 4k setup it had - it worked like a charm a few matches. Then I finished the mod installs from Gen Launcher, and tried them, and then it said "looks like the first time you played, want to set recommended settings", and I should have clicked no. Now, no matter how I set it up, it is not as good looking as before, and I am annoyed. It doesn't even have my resolution in the menu. Yet, running the genpatcher again, I can't run the options.ini patch again.... sigh.
I need help, now that it’s not the origin app, and i bought the game directly to ea app as well, i was having some issues installing the game, it keeps telling me installation error. Any tips how to fix this?

instant gaming replies out of stock while mmoga don't have command and conquer the ultimate connection . do you have any more suggestions please
friend help me please, I have the .iso images of command conquer, but when installing it I have the following error "incorrect function" error: 1603 fatal error during installation. Help me please I've been trying to play again for years. Thank you. i have windows 10 pro
After the installation process. Did you turn it on the anti virus? Everytime you play this game you won't turn it off the anti virus protection?
I am pretty new to pc purchased one this month but is the new origins app ea? It keeps deleted origins & installing ea then it won’t launch just crashes
So, I got the origin client, made an ea account long ago. I downloaded the game literally without buying it or anything, but it won't run, it is saying that i have to run ut as an administrator, but it's not working. I need help.
Perfect
Any update on this video since EA absorbed Origin?? or a how to video for Tiberium War? I just want to play Tiberium War with my brother 😖
ty sir
How do you play in borderless window mode and scroll the map with the mouse?
I get the msg fixes apllied but when i open GenPatcher again it says fixes not applied, idk why .. ?
Since C&C Ultimate Collection is now out on Steam i think you should make a tutorial on how to download Generals: Zero Hour on steam

Hi there I see everywhere it's out of stock which is ridiculous because it's just a key... any other suggestions?
U best ily
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU
Nice
Another good video- just a few clarifications: -Does GenPatcher work with mods? -Does GenPatcher's new features (like the new HUD and the hotkeys) work with mods? Regardless, thanks again Legionnaire!

I think is possible to change a config file with camera height. If zoomed out too much, will appear black random filled zones. I think default is 300 camera height...decent can be 500, no more
I presume, once genpatcher has fully installed, I can turn back on my antivirus protection and I won't have to worry about any conflicts right?

i have the EA app on WIN11 and the game wont download fully how to fix that?
Wow new updates
Are there any other resellers? All 4 of them have it out of stock.
still got the disk, i dont wanna use Orgin for this, same for sims1 which isnt needed to have orgin either. i thought this was an installation from the disk, not downloading from a page...
so now that origin is shut down how do I install and play online?
Why i don't have beacon on control bar i watch pro players they have beacon they place that when strategy center is up
Unable to install the game with EA on windows 11, keep having installation error, any idea what to do please? I see in your video that that installation worked right away...that's weird.

It’s a bug with the ea app. The only way to play the game is with on an administrator side with full permissions. It’s kinda a security hazard for your computer but if there isn’t anything important on it then have fun!
On Windows 7 GenPatcher freezes during downloading/installing anything. I keep terminating the task and restarting it and it goes a bit further every time before crashing again. I have PowerShell 7 installed. Is there any way for me to expose the PowerShell task running in the background?

@@LegionnaireGenerals I don't use antiviruses or anything that might interfere with it, my installation is very lean. What I suspect is happening is that GenPatcher itself is freezing and not updating with what's happening in the background, as every time I force close it and restart it, the status on whatever I tried downloading or installing changes.
Anyone know why Generals Works fine. But Zero Hours still show the "Serious Error" message at start-up?
10 out a 10 video
I have installation error after 90% of downloading from ea apps. shit, what should I do?
Good day Commander is this still good to do? I want to play C&C ZH TY for answer!
Origin now is discontinued , Downloading zero hour giving install issues , how to fix that please.
I followed your video step by step but still got the startup crash. any reason why? the weird part is when I click on the Generals application to start it, that loads just fine.. but any time I click on the ZH application to start it then it crashes right away
