[-BD-]

I sometimes get serious error too and i lose my game :(
I dont have an problem with lag but it has nothing to do with your system, Unofficial maps lag on C4 so its not you if u lag on 3rdparty maps.

Guys... Unfortunately, this is a game engine problem, long standing with almost any mod, and sometimes, even the game itself.

Ok, when you uninstall manually delete the folders just to make sure, patch your generals and Zero Hour.
And true nothing can be done about the lagging, it has many reasons.
But do these error happen on a ceriain point?
Pls answer this questions:
What General did you play?
What General was your enemy?
Is there a certain point when the game crashes?
Was there any special actions you did when it crashed?
Pls say anything that comes to your mind!

Guys i fixed the lagging problem by setting game speeds and anti aliasing (off) , FPS CAPPED (OFF)

how ever Its still that BUG (SERIOUS ERROR) comes in every match.

m8 it doesnt remember how it comes but usually it comes during a long game probably after 10 minutes
when i click on unit (any unit) or i issue a order to a unit to kill a particular unit

very important thing is when i play ZERO HOUR (without mod) i dont get any errors but when i play mods i get loads of serious errors.

i clean up even the last bit of CNC game and then patch them but still
the bug SERIOUS ERROR is keep getting during games with MODS. (EACH AND EVERY MOD).

Mod toaster 2 is also crap with that i get even more and more SERIOUS ERRORS.

[Capt.Drake]

If you get the same with with all the mods you play, there must be sth wrong with your installation, comp or what ever! It just seams starange!
Sorry, but I got no idea what to do!

[wolfshadow]

Desertfox: Seems like there are some leftover mod files somewhere on your comp. that are not getting deleted. Thats the only thing that I can think of... Check your MyDocuments/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data folder for leftover bits.

[Capt.Drake]

I already said this to him, when anybody has a problem like this, delete anyfolder of Zero Hour, if that doesn't help move on to Generals!

i had sort of the same problem, i thinks it lies in the Generals folder, not in ZH

[CPT.TIKER]

i think u gotta delete both generals and zh

[KOC2000]

I think it doesn't have anything to do with folders or files.. and as wolfshadow poster first, it's bug within Zerohour. So the only thing that can be done is you WISH you're lucky and you hope you can play your games to till the end.

[Phoenix911]

The generals folder should not be getting any files from mods the generals folder should always be perfectly mod free and is NEVER the problem, its all in the zh folder and sometimes some files in mydocuments\zerohour.

Lag is party of the game engin sometimes it happens even with out a mod but mods can aggrovate the engin more sometimes this happens with all mods.
Serios error would be 1 of 3 things.
1) u have left over mod from another mod somewhere.
(fix be uninstalling ZH deleteing the left Zh folder and reinstall and patch) this way u can be sure of no left ofer mod files.
2) Your game is not patched to the most rescent (highly unlickly but possable)
3) or it maybe a bug in the game but if that is the case then i am sure it is known and wilbe fixed in teh next release.

Also please note the sage engin is a pos in a lot of ways and has a problem with ai fucking up sometimes witch make the game die, this happens without a mod aswell its a game engin problem.
Mods can aggrovate this bug more sometimes but thats a risk everyone has to take when they choose to play a mod.

[Capt.Drake]

The same thing all over!

[CPT.TIKER]

so is this thing sloved or what

[Pendaelose]

so is this thing sloved or what

Yeah. There is no problem with the mod. Its a problem with the engine. There are a few things I can do to reduce the pain, but it will never heal.
