HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- It took me 3 hours to find the solution and there was a 30 minute call in there but instead of making everyone else do the same i decided to make a video, if you have any concerns let me know and be sure to give feedback in the comments (:
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.
thanks alot
Thanks it worked
You're a genius! This works! UP UP UP!
Muchas gracias bro!! lo compre a este juego en steam y hice esto y fue la solucion por que me daba error de directx8.1 ahora al haber hecho estos pasos se puede jugar
Thank you cool man)))
i did everything in the video but the message still pops up please help me
Same here
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to you: the game picked a bigger resolution size (not supported) for your pc/laptop and the game thinks your directx is outdated thus giving the error
Dude.... i love you.... i can't thank you enough, reallly.
no audio, but if you watch carefully the problem is solved, very cleverly. thank you. earned my like.
Thank you!
This tutorial really working, I tried deleting dbghelp.dll at first but it doesn't work. And I found this video, this solve my problem. Thx.
Glad i could help
Can someone help me I don't have option in on me
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.
Delete dgbhelp
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.
Thank you so much!!!!! In 2023 it works. Take your like sir, greetings from south america my friend!
its not working:((

I'm still having that problem even with my graphics card driver and directx updated to the latest version
delete gbhelp
Its work? Mostly peoplr delete dgbhelp and its working but not for me
@@potatoes5062 Ya, deleting dgbhelp didn't do anything for me: this video solved it. You would think a company like EA would know what's happening, write a script to interrogate which problem you have and delete or edit as appropriate during the install, but EA will EA...

Thanks guys. Iya works
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!!!
Same problem m8, I have no idea how to fix it
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.
What worked for me was changing the resolution to your native setting on the options.ini in my documents folder
I fixed this ages ago. It just needed a d3d8.dll file placed in the main directory.
Thanks for helping me bro
This worked for me 👍
i Salute you bro you save me :) thaaaanks man...
Love you

Tnx
not forks disslike ask me directly x 8.1 and I did everything like you did
If it really is this simple I'll be so mad at EA for not making this part of the read me.
If it doesn't work, I'll be so mad at EA for selling a game that doesn't work.
I'll be pretty mad at EA either way.
It really was that simple.
WTF could EA not include that in a read me? F.EA.
Someone please help me nothing is working ffs
@@bobsmith3291 I did exactly what he did in the video and it worked for me: I have the C&C complete collection.
@@bobsmith3291 There's another fix for the other version I've seen a couple places on RUclips, but this is the version I have and this is what worked for me.
