Die neuesten Versionen der Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection wurden mit neuen Versionen veröffentlicht, was natürlich zu Inkompatibilitäten mit mehreren Community-Tools führte, darunter die unersetzlichen GenPatcher und GenTool. Die Entwickler waren jedoch schnell genug, um angepasste Versionen zu erstellen, damit alle wieder auf dem gleichen Stand sind.
GenPatcher, the one-stop patching tool for fresh Generals and Zero Hour installations, received three versions by now – 2.07 beta, 2.07b and 2.07c. In addition to the new TUC releases being supported, the tool is no longer falsely detected by Malwarebytes, registry and serial key issues are adapted for the Steam version, and includes Windows Media Feature Pack among its redistributables that are installed if not found on the system.
As for GenTool, the quality-of-life improvement tool for Generals and Zero Hour, version 8.7 brings the following changes:
New Features
Added compatibility with Generals and Zero Hour The Ultimate Collection (Steam, EA App)
Added warning message popup for non-x87 compatible generals executables
Fixed game version mismatches for various compatible executables
Fixed missing hashing of scb files for game version hash generations
Fixed C&C Online login kick by generating random ergc game keys when so required
Added -showFrameCount command line argument to draw frame counts
Fixes/Improvements
Fixed severe performance degradation with Steam Overlay (GameOverlayRenderer.dll)
Fixed crash on application boot with Windows XP 32
Fixed dysfunctional GenTool Updater in Windows XP
Fixed theoretically unsafe code with Windows XP
Fixed minor inaccuracy of FPS counter and FPS limiter
Fixed incorrect terrain draw distance after changing camera height
Changed Upload Player ID generation by adding another salt
Improved game version names for uploaded txt files
Removed forceful disabling of Origin In Game (IGO32.dll)
Updater: Improved patch file formats and capabilities
Updater: Improved the maps patcher for future map releases
Updater: Removed the replacement of the Zero Hour no-CD game.dat
Updater: Removed the replacement of the Generals Origin generals.exe
EDIT (30 March 2024): GenTool was bumped to version 8.8 to fix a slowdown issue on Windows 11 related to the framerate limiter.
To keep your installation of Generals and Zero Hour as up-to-date and stable as possible, download GenPatcher, then GenTool (as the former currently includes the previous version of the latter).
