Version: First Decade CD

OS: Win 10

Gentools: 8.0 (GenPatcher) and 8.5 (Stand alone)

 

Everytime I run generals zh from a fresh install with the GenTools from GenPatcher, it opens up and connects okay. The problem comes when I close it. GenTool patches itself. I then can't play the game again. I'm given the standard

"File corrupted!. This program has been manipulated and mabe it's infected by a Virus or cracked. This file won't work anymore." and a quick error regarding DirectX requirements.

 

If I uninstall Gentool, it works again. If I use the most up-to-date version of GenTools after a GenPatch, It doesn't even want to open until I uninstall it.

 

Is there some extra step I'm missing when using the most up-to-date GenTools?

 

This is the error file from 3 days ago. I don't think this is related to GenTools but trying to launch via CNC Online.

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----

FIXED:

 

I had to turn off my Bitdefender Antivirus and Advanced Threat Defense. I tried to just use exceptions but apparently I didn't do the right ones. Either way, turning it off works fine. If anyone knows which files to add to the exception list, that would be helpful.
