Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour Steam overview and gameplay plus widescreen resolution fix
72Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour is now available on Steam as part of The Ultimate Collection which is $10 https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/
In this video I show how to change the resolution of Generals and Zero Hour to work for modern widescreens:
Locate Options.ini file in your Documents\Command and Conquer Zero Hour Data directory and change the Resolution to something like Resolution = 1920 1080
I also fix the "Please make sure you have DirectX 8.1 or higher installed." error. General and Zero Hour do not work out of the box now, since Windows no longer includes the old versions of DirectX. You can get the old DirectX versions in a pack here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
You also need to delete a file dgbhelp.dll from the game directory.
