Hello, CNC players !

My installation of ZH worked well on my win 10, had mods installed and all, till I wanted to do a little change in the INIZH.big, just change the maxcameraheight. I didn't know at this point I needed to extract the INIZH.big, so I just opened it with wordpad. Worked, could change it, saved and tried to launch the game... And it's there the problem start, at the beggining of the game loading, it say me direct that my game.dat have stop working.
I then tried some things like uninstall,reinstall the game, remove it from the register, delete my ZH data folder in docs. The game don't want to start even with a fresh install (and the patch).

I clearly need an help on this !

Please,
Giuliano.

I can send you a clean INIZH.big but I doubt that's the problem.

Try this:
-Open “Notepad”.
-Copy the following content to the notepad file.
Code:

AntiAliasing = 1
BuildingOcclusion = yes
DrawScrollAnchor = 
DynamicLOD = no
ExtraAnimations = yes
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
LanguageFilter = true
MaxParticleCount = 5000
MoveScrollAnchor = 
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 1024 768
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 50
SendDelay = no
ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
ShowTrees = yes

TextureReduction = 0
UseAlternateMouse = no
UseCloudMap = yes

-Save as options.ini
-Cut/paste to ´Command and Conquer Zero Hour data´ in ´Documents and Settings´ folder.

If this doesn't work then set the compatibility mode to windowsXP servicepack 2 and run the game as administrator...

I already have it, and the administrator and compatibility mode too ...

Yesterday night I completely removed the game for my computer, removed it from my docs, the install folder and the register ... Now I am trying to do a fresh install of it, I'll put your options.ini in and see if it work.

Installation done, put the patch, worked, put the options.ini, compatibility mode and admin mode. but nope, still don't work. I really don't know what to do. Is there any files hidden somewhere that can cause this ?

I succeeded to launch it !

I just put my disc of Generals 1 and ask to repair. Yes it repaired my ZH game.dat, must have been something missing and it repaired it.

Now, I still want to change my MaxCameraHeight. I downloaded the FinalBIG software, I open it and open the INIZH.big in it. I extract it on my ZH install folder.

Is that right ?

Then I go in the INI folder and open the GameData.ini, and there I change my MaxCameraHeight.

Is that it, if I don't change something more, will it work ? will it crash ? do I need to change something else ?

Sorry for the multipost.

If I understand what you're saying correctly, your method should work.
