Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.

Please read description CAREFULLY to properly get your game to work. I do not own the rights to this fix, I just share it. Good luck and have fun, General.

This image does not reflect anything of the fix - it is just a filler so I could upload the fix - I own the rights to this image.
Like I stated above: Can't get it to work: Go to my profile and shoot me a message, I can't guarantee to fix it for you but at least I can help you check if you executed the steps properly.
I have no clue whether it will work on Windows 11. If you have your system working on windows 11 and it works - please comment your result down below.
NOTE 1: You do need to have an extracting program like WinRar or 7Zip to unpack the .rar into a folder again. If you are unsure if you have such a program, just download this file and rightclick it. If it says extract here (or something similar), you are good to go.
NOTE 2: YES, this fix works for Rise of the Reds and Shockwave as well (all versions).
NOTE 3: To clarify: The "two game files" are called game.dat & generals. The latter of which is an .exe. The Updates are in a proprietary folder and the remaining file is called options (this is your options.ini I talked about). I do not know if YOUR game (which can be zero hour, zero hour from first decade or origins collection) requires the full fix. Rest assured you can try as the files are legitimate and do make the game work even if it was not necessary for you. The most important thing is that you set up the .ini file properly as this file tells your game how to handle the resolution of your screen.
Note 4: A lot of people think this fix is unnecessary because the .ini is automatically created. I have found personally it is not because the game crashes at launch and the .ini is created after a succesful launch. There for you can download it in this package anyway and set it up even if your game does not automatically make this file due to the launch crash.
Happy Conquering :)
Why is this even an issue, use gentools for 1920 resolution. It give some really interesting features as well.
you can go into the options of the ini and change the resolution too yourself. just sayin.
Yes I can see this can work great as well, the fix here also includes the files to update to 1.04 if necessary :)
for me, options.ini never creates in the my documents part because the game kept crashing. So it never comes to the part where the game makes it to that part of the starting sequence. It only showed the crash file. So for people like me there is no other way out but to use this fix as it seems.
Thanks for you contribution, I am sure some people have enough help on just moddifying their .ini
Ehh... ¿and what this Win10 fix does?.
It solves the crash notification you get when launching the game. It looks like this: You launch the game, then this launcher picture pops up over your desktop screen while it starts the game. The game does not start as an error message of multiple lines complains about some dung and then it cancels the launching of the game. This solution worked for me too :), it also fixes the resolution issue (mind that single space between the height and width number!!) [it was:"1366 768" for me but yours will probably be different; remember it is just the resolution of your screen]. Maybe Gentools would do the same, I tried this and it worked for me.
But if you get problems with launching the game with a message telling something about "DIRECTX 8.1", is solved when you erase the file dbghelp.dll
For me, the error was something like this:
"You have encountered a serious error yada yada.
yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada
yada yadayada yada specifications yada yada
yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada
consult manual yada yada technical support"
The real error should be 5 lines and mention these key words, then you probably have THE windows 10 issue like most others.
This is not the direct X issue, if you have the direct X issue it will specifically mention that in the error.
I see, fortunatly i don't get this error than you mention, but maybe others yes. Anyways, thanks for this. Any fix to play games are welcome.
Sup guys, sorry for the change of subject but does any of you know where I can get the base game C&C generals zero hour?

thanks for sharing this!
No problem :)
Hope it helps. Like stated above somewhere: Most people just need to edit the .ini - the problem is most often the game crashes before the .ini is created in the my documents folder. There for you can download it in this package and also update your game to verison 1.04 if it isnt from origins or first decade.

This fix correct mismatch issue ? someone told appenrently it corrects mismatch to place option.ini in directory
Yes
yo guys can u help me?
My game is going well, but after a 10min my game so slow like i play with 10fps (skirmish mode 4v4 3v3), how can i fix it? ty
Try if it also runs slow in a 2v2 or 1v1, if not then your computer needs a buff :)
my game going well at 4 or 5 players maps, but if i play on 6players maps (3v3) or 8players maps (4v4) my game run so slow idk
Contrast to what some players state (that map size does not matter for your smooth play) it does indeed matter.
Your pc uses a processor, idc whether that is the graphics or general one, and this thing does the calculating of what to do with inputs. Larger maps means more inputs, more calculating and thus more time to get to the output. So, yes, map size matters as well as player volume. The more players on the field, the more units they make, the more entities need to be rendered and displayed. I am not going into further detail but give it some thought and you ll see the logic trend there.
Remember, your pc is basically an overglorified calculator, its callled a computer for a reason... it computes math.
the more units and terrain you play with, the more math, the more computing, the more time to get to that output.
now, when you play with AIs the pc also has to make a ton of extra computing work done to make sure the AI makes proportional decisions to what happens on the field.
okey thx, and one another question i dont have a maps folder and i cant play a GLA Africa Campaing bcs my maps folder dont exist idk why, i creat a folder with maps name but dont work how can i fix it?
It should in fact auto-create once you play a skirmish game on ROTR.
Just pick a ROTR map (not a default generals map) and play that, i think it should work then. This maps map can be found in the documents section of general NOT the program files section
I think this obsolete now since we have GenPatcher (by Legionnaire Generals) which is an AIO fixer and recommended add-ons installer?
Legionnaire Generals' YT video explaining GenPatcher: Youtube.com
His website to download it: Legi.cc
Unless your mod needs very special treatment.
GenPatcher does the same. It does not matter :)
It depends how you game, he is offering an alternative here for those who just wanna have a go at it and not download futher software that is loose from the generals software.

please i need the option file to start the general zero hour i did not find in my pc
DOWNLOAD THIS FILE THEN
Will the repair file add contra?
usually the problem is in zero hour, if your mod is on top of zero hour it will usually fix that too.
my ZH launches and crashes without any message, and c&c generals is running good. i installed them together
Try to install both again, de-install the entire thing first, delete the program files part where zero hour was installed in.
then try to re-install the whole thing, run the game first (it crashes) and THEN install the fix into the my documents zreo hour file after you installed zero hour AND THEN after the fix you install ROTR in the program files of zero hour.
Having this issue...

Any ideas?
no idea. This fix just gives people a .ini file if it doesnt create it on its own. And it gives you the explanation on how to modify it properly ANd it gives the latest update to the game (1.04 if i recall properly). Not much else.
