why does the silly old "technical difficulties crash error"still appear? Thread - Contra mod for C&C: Generals Zero Hour

ever since using the original zero hour sometimes you get that stupid crash and the "technical difficulties" error
so now that everyone is using modern computers and it's all considered top-notch for the old zero hour
why does it still appear sometimes while playing?
mostly it happens on mods so maybe because sometimes there are excessive amount of units on the map? or alot of visual effects?

aside from all that, today i was playing contra 008 with my brother over LAN , we were playing a 2v2 on the lowest difficulty and we both crashed at some point in mid-game,also i was playing on challenge and it crashed several times ,sometimes in the middle of the game , sometimes after the start of the mission,recently it crashed when i used alt+tab

so why does it happen? both of the running machines were really advanced compared to zero hour requirements
