I have obtained the Bibber launchers to unhook from Origin, sadly Generals/ZH is acting up oddly. When I try to run the game without Origin running this error comes up.  

I'm mainly trying to run the game without Origin because I think it's affecting something, the game randomly freezes up entirely. I've never had this problem before so I think this would bring me close to troubleshooting that.

  

I have Gentool installed.

Disable Origin In-Game for all TUC games before proceeding with applying any fixes to them. I don't think you can run the game separately from the Origin client if you bought it there, though.

The problem with freezing sounds like you'll need to reinstall the game fully.

You can run the game directly (without the origin launcher) if you have bibber's launchers installed by making a short cut from the game executable. The target to your shortcut (for ZH) ought to look like this


 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero 
Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Generals.exe"
That will still run the origin client though. It's just that you don't have to go into Origin or use the Origin launcher.

I've already re-installed and messed around with compatibility settings. The bigger problem is that the game does not allow me to alt-tab out when frozen up, I have to entirely force power-off my computer and restart.

The thing is, it does not even start the Origin client. The game just shows the error and fails to start up, this definitely did not happen before I did a fresh install on my PC.  

  

Guess I'll just have to manually start Origin and then launch the game.

I would try asking Origin. I imagine the problem would exist whether or not you had gentool installed (knowing the way that that works) and if so, Origin / EA are much more likely to be able to help you.

Alternatively, you could try a reinstall first.

goldensoul, please make your own thread because you don't have the exact same problem. Reading the pinned topics would also help.
