Remove any PREVIOUS version of VGO before installing Hydra
Zero Hour has the LATEST patch installed

Additional Programs
To play online with your friends, we recommend Hamachi, a free program that lets you set up a virtual LAN over the internet. Download the Unmanaged Mode version of Hamachi.
The latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is required for the mod launcher.
Video Tutorials
We have made a series of Video Tutorials to show new players what they can expect with the new game play in VGO. Check them all out here.
Technical Support
Trouble getting the mod to work or having problems running ZH on Win7 or Vista?
No problem, check out our COMMON ISSUES thread to find a solution!
Additional Goodies
More stuff to do while you wait for the download to finish! Nuka5's Developer blog of his journey to Vietnam where he almost died! And in case you missed it last week, VGO's Memorial Day wallpaper titled "Homecoming." Also feel free to swing by IRC or our Forums!
Will in 'Nam
Late in 2009, one of the developers for the project, Will "Nuka5" Taylor, visited Vietnam. He traveled the country taking pictures and video of his adventures, a journey he wont soon forget. Will wrote updates on our internal forums while he was in Vietnam, letting us know what he was doing and what he saw. Now we thought it would be a good time to share his experience as work on the project comes to a close. This is his story...
News
The Hydra Release is pending to be release soon we are testing the release build atm & will be preparing to release it if no major game breaking issue is found. Whether or not the devs would work on the Medusa Release (ARVN & Vietcong Sub-factions) depends on the amount of interest on the devs part & the feedback/interest of the public.
One of the testers Handgun_Hero has recently started a VGO fan group on Facebook, so drop by, the group hopefully would be updated and pick up soon. Feel free to arrange games, ask question, give suggestions and etc.

"Most People In This World Talk About The Vietnam War Claiming Facts About What Happened, They Take The Words Of Men Who Were Never There, Sadly They Do Not Realize How Foolish They Are, For They Never Take The Word Of Men Who Were Bravely In The Fields And Were Not Blinded By The Times They Lived In"
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag who allows the protester to burn the flag." - Unknown Author
