AND generals saying "Make sure you have Directx 8.1 or higher" messages. OR BOTH. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-gaming/cannot-play-generals-in-windows-7-a-serious-error/ab360dc9-61db-4ae0-9c3c-4bcb2bf1fd4d I HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU. Game.dat: if you use Win 7/Vista: Install the game as usual, download and install the latest patch. Then navigate to your user data directory: C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data or C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data and inside these folders, you should create a txt file called "options.ini". Add the https://forums.techguy.org/threads/c-c-generals-game-dat-not-responding-directx8-1-higher-msg-fix.1049407/ following commands: BuildingOcclusion = yes DynamicLOD = yes ExtraAnimations = yes FirewallBehavior = 9 FirewallNeedToRefresh = FALSE FirewallPortAllocationDelta = 0 GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 Gamma = 50 HeatEffects = yes IPAddress = 0.0.0.0 IdealStaticGameLOD = Low LanguageFilter = false MaxParticleCount = 5000 MusicVolume = 49 Resolution = 1680 1050 Retaliation = yes SFX3DVolume = 64 SFXVolume = 57 ScrollFactor = 80 SendDelay = yes ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes ShowTrees = yes StaticGameLOD = Custom TextureReduction = 0 UseAlternateMouse = yes UseCloudMap = yes UseDoubleClickAttackMove = yes UseLightMap = yes UseShadowDecals = yes UseShadowVolumes = yes VoiceVolume = 70 To create this file (for all those who don't know) Right click desktop>New> open up Notepad ; and simply copy and paste the information above into the file. Then save the notepad file's name as "options.ini" (without the quotations) & save as type should be all files. Start up your game and enjoy! I'm not sure if compatibility mode effects anything, but I ran it without any of that nonsense (no admin privileges either). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using a crack typically does this (or so many websites say). If command and conquer you were running Vista, it would be because you did not patch the game using "Run as Administrator"Edited by userTuesday, July 14, 2009 5:22:39 AM(UTC) |Reason: Not specified User ProfileView All Posts by UserView Thanks Shokz #4 Posted : Saturday, November 7, 2009 3:25:15 AM(UTC) PrivateJoined: 11/7/2009(UTC)Posts: 1 Sorry for bringing up a slightly old topic, but i'm also having the same problem, but on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (it's the 7100 build), i have the Deluxe Edition and it installed Generals fine but when i go to play it, every time it comes up with the same game.dat error. I am an Administrator so that shouldn't be a problem, and i've tried setting it to Windows XP SP3 compatability mode to no avail...When i try to install the Zero Hour expansion it won't even start the process; when it starts to load up InstallSheild i get an error saying something like InstallSheild failed to load.EDIT:Managed to get it to install simply by trying it again and again and again, but the same game.dat error comes up when i try to play it -.-Edited by userSaturday, November 7, 2009 3:35:35 AM(UTC) |Reason: Not specified User ProfileView All Posts by UserView Thanks dunster2 #5 Posted : Thursday, November 12, 2009 8:09:32 AM(UTC) PrivateJoined: 11/12/2009(UTC)Po
