I just recently installed Zero Hour again and was hoping to try out this mod. I played a few skirmishes before attempting to install the mod, so I know it's been working. It's an Origin install and was set to run as administrator. It's up-to-date and I installed ROTR 1.85 in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\" directory as instructed. The ROTR launcher opens just fine and when I click "launch" it minimizes and nothing happens. Also now the vanilla game will no longer launch, even when I run it from the generals.exe in the game directory. I've tried uninstalling the mod and game and reinstalling from scratch with the exact same problem. It's not a compatibility issue.

Any ideas?

I've got the same problem. Kind of a bummer, I was looking forward to playing again. Any help?

I am so excited to play this mod but have spent hours trying to get it to run with no success. I am running Win 8.1 and installed Gen/ZH Deluxe. I had no issues running Gen/ZH but then I installed ROTR 1.85 & 1.86. When I click launch or quick launch the ROTR start up screen appears then I get the serious error message. I have tired changing the compatibility and have run as an administrator.

I even tried the options.ini fix. I ended up deleting the options.ini folder that I put in the zero hour data folder because it didn't work. Now the ROTR launch screen comes up when I try to start the game but instead of a serious error message, it just disappears and doesn't run. I am missing out on quality playing time! Any suggestions?

Hello, me and my bro where love at first sight when we found out about this mod. Sadly though we keep having issues with the download, something thats awdully clear and simple it would seem,

steps we made

download winrar
download mod
extract mod to desktop
run installer
placed in correct folder (double checked with what someone posted above)
finish install
installed swrnet update
ran program and error message said "frong Folder" funny typo)

now i dont really wanna uninstall and reinstall cause that mean i would need to delete all saved info i had and ive been working hard to clear the campaign on hard

so if some one has any info please share.

[Skitt]

just means u installed the mod in the wrong folder, you dont have to remove zh
(side note: copy the Skirmishstats.ini file in your documents folder, thats the file that keeps track of your progress in the campains, make a backup of it somewhere)

Make sure u install rotr in the game folder where generals.exe is, and run the launcher as admin

Hi,

I am a new guy here, trying to install ROTR on origin version and I am stuck with game not launching. I have checked and installed rotr in origin games/C&C Generals Zero Hour/C&C Generals Zero Hour. I did disable origin in game in origin menu, I installed fixed launchers. As I run ROTR it says quick start and window mode are disabeled in origin version, I am cool with that, but when i press launch nothing happenes. What to do? Help please.

LMAO after a 5th try it launched I have no idea why maybe setting it to compability with XP sp3 worked<?> no clue

New here as well. I downloaded ROTR patch 1.7 because I wanted the version with the naval units. I install it in the correct folder (as per the instructions). Installation is successful. The ROTR icon shows up on my desktop. But when I try to launch the game, Zero Hour starts (every time). Previous to this, I had installed ROTR version 1.85 the same way and it had worked fine, but I uninstalled it in favor for version 1.7 for the reason stated above. Anyway, I can't seem to figure what I'm doing wrong. I'm using win 10 in case that's important. Thanks in advance for the help.

First of all the navy assets should still be in the game in 1.85+
But only on custom naval maps that you have to download additionally.

Yours sound like a gib big problem, reinstalling and launching with admin rights

Ace master,

[Luke.Knight]

I am having some troubles launching the game, I am using the ORGIN pack, running windows 10 and have installed it to C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\

The ROTR launcher will open, and when I go to play game, it will then launch the C+C or ZH launcher with version option, When I launch ZH the game runs successfully however without the ROTR mod.

Does anyone know the fix for this?

Thanks for your help in advanced.

I have the same Problem.

I have the origin version too.

I had installed the 1.85beta and than the 1.86 patch.

If i start it with the Rise of the Reds.exe, i can choose between generals and ZH. If I choose ZH they start the normal version, without the Mod. Maps i can choose in the normal version @ ZH. Maps also works.

can anyone help me pls?

Why i cant start the mod? only the normal version of ZH (with RiseoftheReds maps include)?

Thank you for helping!

So I got the mod up and running and played a few skirmishes but I cant pick any of the subfactions for each side. I downloaded both the mod and the 1.86 patch from ModDB, what am I missing here?

The subfactions haven't been released yet, only the base factions are available atm.
