Hi there!

Generals online works great, but with Zero Hour he keeps saying that other plays have other versions and that i should patch. But the patching doesn't work. It gives this error:

Old file not found, however, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents don't match.

Can anyone help me with this?

I'm new btw ;)

Have you tried patching it manually? You can download the patch here:

Otherwise, try uninstalling the game, delete the game directory, & reinstall.

I have all of the patch files on my computer. I tought that was the only way. When i tried to patch it manually i got that error.

Removing is going to be pain in the ass, because it's The First Decade version.

How can I do the automatic patcher?

It doesn't look like he needs to be updated. But when I try to play he keeps saying that they have another version. What can de problem be?

edit: Allright, I know right now that I'm currently running 1.04. So that can't be the problem. Maybe every server I tried used a Mod or something

I have the same problem :S
just bought command and conquer sage today (the first decade + tiberium wars)
but I couldn't play zero hour online...
when I click multiplayer --> online, it looks for updates,
but passes it right away, meaning there isn't a a new patch.
But I can't join a game, because it says that i have another version.
And because it's the first decade you don't have a
ZH laucher screen where you can press update...

When you try it manually, so when I downloaded the patch you get
an error half while patching saying:
"Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found.
No update done since file contents do not match."

So I don't know an other way to fix the problem.

However I borrowed generals and zero hour from a friend.
Installed them while using the serials of the first decade
and then downloading a crack.
And that works perfectly fine.
You can also download it illigal one, you need also download the normal generals too.
This is the only solution i know... i know it isn't totally legal, but then again
I didn't get a good working product either. >.>
So i don't think you can really call this illigal.

Btw I think the main reason it doesn´t work, it´s because with the first decade version
you don´t get the game.dat file
