purchase and download from origin ...
cant play Generals ... on windows 10 here .... always stuck halfway loading ...

i am running AMD 8350 and GTX 970 ... so hardware should not be the problem (or maybe it is, too high end for the game ?? lol)

I more sad...

First failed to run on my ultrabook with nVideo 840M (12GB RAM + SSD 500GB). Ram not enough? 

Then I miss the game so much until bought a new desktop with i7, 32GB RAM + Samsung Pro 950 SSD etc... And again fail to run. 

All windows 10 original.

c&c generals is newer isnt it? have you tried enabling Windows XP sp3 in compatibility mode.

and try at Programs and Features, select "Turn Windows Features on or off", check the box marked "Legacy Components", and ensure the sub-checkbox "DirectPlay" is also checked.

what gpu you using? i know some old RTS like BFME cannot run with iGPU.

 

 

   

Get the Command & Conquer the Ultimate Collection from Origin.

Probably works. I have it but I haven't installed it.

Please try if it works on Win 10 first.

Origin sale C&C ultimate edition 19RM. buy buy buy

my fav was Red Alert 1, first RTS for me

SAGE engine ftw, loved the old Battle for Middle Earth series that was on it too. i dont have windows 10 yet so cant try test Generals for you TS. but i see others say it work fine, maybe some unknown issue or workaround needed

create a txt file in "C:\Users\username\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data" and name it "options.ini"
Then copy paste the following lines in your options.ini and save

AntiAliasing = 1
BuildingOcclusion = yes
DrawScrollAnchor =
DynamicLOD = no
ExtraAnimations = yes
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
LanguageFilter = true
MaxParticleCount = 5000
MoveScrollAnchor =
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 1024 768
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 50
SendDelay = no
ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
ShowTrees = yes
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TextureReduction = 0
UseAlternateMouse = no
UseCloudMap = yes
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
UseLightMap = yes
UseShadowDecals = yes
UseShadowVolumes = yes
VoiceVolume = 100

Now the key bits - firstly, make sure that you have full read/write permissions for the Command and Conquer Generals Data folder - do this by right clicking on the folder, then  properties then the security tab and change the permissions for all users.  It might also be worth making sure no files are "Read-Only" in that folder.

Then change the game's compatibility mode by right clicking on the game in the start menu, clicking on properties and then the Compatibility tab.  I used the "Change settings for all users" button at the bottom and changed to Windows XP (SP3), as well as checking the "Run as administrator box".

Damn... This video made me suffering. I realized I missed some version in the past. I am desperate to play them now... Any suggestion? I really want to play them... Especially the higher resolution version. Buy from Origin and use VM? Then use which OS in VM? Any proven solution? Please share information such as which Direct-X for that OS also.

Already tested out the Origin version.

All of C&C (including Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert 1) games work. Buy original.

Thank you.

Confirm working on Windows 10?

Can help point to exact website? Which version of C&C confirm working on Win10?
