EDIT: Damnit won't not processed yet =(
EDIT: xD 7 minutes after posting it was approved xD
I ALREADY FOUND AN EASTER EGG!! On the Abrams tank's cam/laser deignator or whatever it is, there is wording on top that you can read. It says "This detailing is so pointless". >:D YEA I FOUND THAT!
Oh and i found a problem... NONE of the AI's for Skirmish games work.
Damn, that is a serious problem. We've heard at least one other person had this as well so it doesn't seem to be widespread. I wonder, can you please tell us what system you are running, and if your zero hour is legit or not?
Hey great mod, erm i have found some bugs and difficulties: in some games the textures become messed up and certain building and units start disappearing i have found re-installing temporarily fixes this for a few more hours of game-play and then reoccurs, another problem is the new custom buildings, in some maps they combine together eg. half of generals USA command center and then half of your design which is pretty messed up XD. and a more fatal problem is on certain maps the computer starts pop up with technical difficulties and automaically shuts down generals. I have multiple mods installed eg. skin and graphic mods and i've tested VRM without them and completely re-installed generals but this problem still occurs :/ but still the mod is great and i hope you can fix these
Textures messing up/ buildings disappearing is a computer related problem, it means your PC might not be strong enough to run the mod. Additionally, we really don't recommend combining VRM with other mods. This can cause crashes. The half/half HQ bug for generals specific USA sides was a fixed bug...which may have slipped into the release? I will have to ask the guy who bundles the .big!
Thank you, so may i ask what opinion on what type of graphics you recommend? I use on ATI Radeon Graphics card which does run tiberium wars and battlefield 2 good and smoothly on high settings, but keep up the great work hopefully one day i will play this mod without my pc messing up :)
I run the mod with 2xRadeon 6850, intel i7 quad 2.8Ghz, 8G RAM and I suffer no performance loss on the default zero hour maps. This is a pretty powerful system, and VRM is not designed for older machines. Zero hour was designed for machines from 2003, VRM is designed for machines from 2011.
ok thank you
