    Good luck to everyone (=

    HELP FOR ALL: Go to folder where you installed game. Delete file by name: dbghelp.dll. Then go to My Computer, then documents. Open Generals folder and edit file by name options.ini. Change resolution numbers to resolution of your screen. For instance My resolution is 1200 1080. Save it, exit. And play! It works! Aftee 6 monts of trying I finally solved it.

    @owi2kd9dwj2ka9 2 года назад +3

    reason why the error happend to you: the game picked a bigger resolution size (not supported) for your pc/laptop and the game thinks your directx is outdated thus giving the error

    I've already done this, because I was playing zero hour in 2019. Was playing online for months, stopped playing for few weeks, then went to play It again in 2019 and this error appeared.
    This solution worked the 1st time, the second time round this solution does not work at all, because I've already done this.

  • @faturrahman104
    @faturrahman104 Год назад +3

    Yes it really works, this tutorial is very helpful. You don't have to bother with your DirectX. You only need to change the game resolution according to your pc's compatible resolution.

    Right ok. So this comment is gonna be placed on several generals "fix" videos as it is a baffling mystery. My laptop spec in short summary. Intel core i7 8th gen 8750H CPU, Gtx1060 6GB GPU, 16GB ram, Windows 10 pro (version 1903 AFAIK).
    So I have the directx error shown on so many Generals "fix" videos. Every way to "fix" it hast worked. Here is what I have tried.
    1). The simple "delete the dgbhelp.dll files from both generals and zero hour folders, Still get directx error.
    2). Tried the simple "change the resolution" fix on the options/ini file, still get directx error
    3). Tried to wrap the dll using DGvoodoo2 dll wrapper (this was a suggestion made by a forum post which got the poster's generals to work) and paste it into the generals directory, then copy 4 dll files from the dgvoodoo x86 folder into the main generals directory, and rename d3d8.dll file to d3d8x.dll. still get the directx error.
    4). suggested to me by "Generals legionnaire", double checked that the generals data and generals zero hour data files (which appear by default, and are supposed to do so, in your documents folder) aren't accidentally being placed in microsoft one drive. (I checked, and my one drive wasn't even set up). Also to check in the registry editor that the reg's for the game contain the right information. All was as it should. Still get directx error.
    5). Downloaded and installed the official microsoft directx redistribution files, which will replace any missing old directx data which is supposed to be present on directx 12 which might not be. Still get the directx error
    6). Probably the most baffling, and one I was CERTAIN, HAD to work. Tried the brilliant "Gen patcher" created by "generals legionnaire". This is a great custom made program which goes through all your generals/generalsZH directory files and corrects every potential issue which is known to cause this directx error, fixes resolution issue and much more. STILL get the directx error ....
    Just to add. The Generals version I am using is the Origin ultimate collection one. But I have tried it from Oldgamesdownload.com just to be sure it wasn't my version at fault. Also, before trying each step I first uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh, unchanged install of the game, to eliminate any chance of contamination and/or changes contradicting changes. I have also tried all the "fixes" mentioned above together at the same time. STILL get the directx error. I really don't know how it can still not be working. Is there anything more at all I can try? Anyone on youtube or anywhere else found another way to get the game to work? Or, having replayed all the C&C games again, bar Generals, am I just going to have to accept the fact this one isn't ever gonna work for me, and just cut my losses and give up?
    PLEASE HELP!!!

      Hi fella. Download dgvoodoo2. Just type it into Google and click the link for the newest version. Download and extract it, then inside one of the folders there is a dll file called d3d8.dll. Copy and paste this into the generals directory where the generals .exe is located. It should get it to work.
