What can I do? Any help to sort this out will be immensely appreciated. I am certain that once you get the hang of the UI, you will be having a rocking good time with this one. However, if you like strategy games and especially if you like this series. I really don't want toīe forced to reinstall Windows just to sort this issue out, if that's even a solution, that is. Like the previous games in the series, Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour is not a game for every gamer out there. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Because I've tried everything I've found online, and nothing's worked. Needless to say, I'm extremely frustrated, and ran out of options. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. I went ahead and ran the Deployment Image ServicingĪnd Management (DISM) tool, and then System file Checker tool itself. I'm wondering if there's corrupt files in my system that could be causing this problem, so doing some more research, I found out I could use the system Checker Tool to try and find corrupt files in the system. Wherever I search, the aforementioned "solutions" are the only ones I seem to be able to come across, which obviously have done absolutely nothing to solve my problem.
I also checked if my controller's Bluetooth functionality was failing, but I successfully paired it to my cellphone and my girlfriend's laptop, meaning the controller is working perfectly fine.Īll this leads me to believe there's something wrong with my PC's Bluetooth functionality.
Oddly, I can see my PC from my phone's Bluetooth search menu, but when I try to connect it, it simply says "connection failed". Purchasing a new Bluetooth dongle, in case the one I had already was defective.
Updating drivers for my Bluetooth dongle (it was already running the last version for the driver). Go to services and set the Bluetooth Support Service to "automatic", and restarting the service, as many sources suggest. As instructed, I tried turning on Bluetooth and updating my driver. It doesn't even try to find any Bluetooth devices.
If this device supports Bluetooth, but you can't turn it on, try to update your driver through Windows Update in Settings. On this Windows device, turn on bluetooth. & other devices menu in the settings and click on "add Bluetooth or other device", I would usually press the pairing button on my controller and let Windows find it, but now I get the following message box when clicking on Bluetooth: I was successfully able to use them up till a couple weeks ago, when I simply couldn't pair the controller anymore. Macintosh releases of Generals, Zero Hour, Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3 are currently incompatible with C&C:Online due to its dependency on Windows libraries.A few months ago I purchased an Xbox One S Bluetooth controller for my desktop PC, alongside a Bluetooth dongle. Currently, the service supports unranked and ranked play with statistics counting, custom map transfer, a buddy system (across all games supported by C&C:Online and T3A:Online) and chat. This was done through network capturing during the last days of GameSpy's uptime and fragments of available GameSpy server coding. The server was designed to mimic the defunct GameSpy servers in functionality. For Generals and Zero Hour, the launcher often causes issues, so usage of GenTool is advised, as the tool was reconfigured to properly redirect the two games to the C&C:Online server like the launcher does for other games. This is done through hooking the supported games through the launcher, causing the launcher to appear each time the hooked games' executables are run. It is a joint project of fan communities Revora and and shares its infrastructure with a similar service for the Battle for Middle-earth series, T3A:Online.Ĭ&C:Online uses an external client for launching the games and redirecting them to the C&C:Online server instead of the closed GameSpy one. Windows C&C:Online is a community-made multiplayer service which enables Generals, Zero Hour, Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 to be played online after the official GameSpy servers were closed.
