Hey..
i remember playing this mod couple of years ago and i liked it..
now i reinstalled the game played few hours then i remembered this mod..
i downloaded and installed, played few rounds of Skirmish and in every round the game becomes slow.. the frame rates decreases to around 10 FPS, that happens like after 5 minutes or so..
i should mention this never happened while playing ZH without the mod..
any help?
this is the PC im currently playing on

E2200 2.20 GHz
2GB Ram
Geforce 210 1GB

also im using the ultimate collection on Origin if that helps..
i have a powerful PC at home (i5, 8gb, gtx970) so ill check if the mod works fine there.. until then.. any help?

thats the ai, it lags the game after a while. gets worse the more ai's u have on and the higher the difficulty

Oh.. yea i play on 6 factions map, all of them are on the highest difficulty.. is there a way to fix this?

Yeah, go back in time and shoot the idiot designers that made Generals.

I tried playing ONE hard opponent in Twilight Flame, it took ages.
Also, to be more clear: The game doesn't slow down, it downright stops for small periods of time.

If you're running Windows 7, you can follow http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?showtopic=5964&st=0&p=100075&#entry100075. It helps improve FPS with the AI considerably, at least for me.

There are some maps, where AI can't play normally, even if you will write your own scripts for him, because it's such engine of game. Actually, lags can be in any map, but in big maps lags will be for sure.

Putting C&C on my SSD actually seemed to help the issue for me. 7 AI on max difficulty.. Occasional stutter but nowhere near the boggy trouble the game had before... Of course that's an expensive fix if an SSD is unavailable.

What's an SSD, my precious, what is it?
Seriously idk what that is.

Solid State Drive. These use either Flash Memory or Random Access Memory to store data, as opposed to hard disks.

Interesting. I'll have to google a bit about it. Enjoying some casual AI matches is one of my favorite things to do

Look what google found!
