This pops up when I try to start it:

This is All Stars 1.2.0.0 installed over Zero Hour previously patched to 1.04 on an up to date XP sp2.

My hardware exceeds the game's requirements: Athlon X2 4600+, 2 gigs of ram, nVidia GeForce 7600gt.

Unmodded Zero Hour runs fine.

The screenshots look so great, I wish I could run it! Please help - is there anything I can do about this?

You don't have any other mods installed as well do you?

I'm having the same problem. Here's the stuff on release crash info.txt:

I'm using CrosuS to play the mod.

Sorry for double post but about 5 seconds after posting I noticed something and i coudn't find the "edit" button... anyway, the game only crashes when playing against the general's elite, otherwise, it starts normally and after some time, the AI loses.

Thanks, that file was very helpful. I had forgotten that I had a mod that lets you play as the boss general installed. With that removed All Stars runs fine.

Thanks again!

BTW: the detail is pretty good - IFVs even change and everything. I've notice it makes Zero Hours AI harder.

. (You're not the first to not be able to find it.)

What side are you playing as when the crash occurs? What map? Is there only one AI player - the Generals Elite? When does the crash happen (loading screen, right when the match starts, etc.)? And playing against the other sides works fine?

If this error occurs while playing the game , normally the releaseCrashInfo.txt is not showing anything useable (but it can for game developers and mod teams) , then the problem should be more specific but beacuse you dont know it , you should put your attention on which map , what circumstances... and maybe if some left-in files from removed mods.
My first suggestion would be dont use that CrosuS program.
If the error appears only once or a few times a week , then there is just a game/mod bug that causes the game to crash, then simply make sure you have the All Stars patch 1.2 , no game/mod is 100% bug-proof.

The crash happens when I'm using the Tiberian coalition or Red Alert Alliance against Generals Elite, I haven't tried using the Generals Elite yet, it happens when the game is done loading. When I play against the Tiberian Coalition or the Red Alert Alliance, the game starts up normally and about 5 seconds after that, I win. I have tried several maps and they all have the same problem. I'll try uninstalling CrosuS. Thanks.

Please let us know if installing All Stars without CrosuS works. If CrosuS is the problem, we'll want to troubleshoot the issue with them. Thanks!

Well finally got it to work... and I must say, THAT was quite an adventure. The mod works fine without CrosuS but then I can't use any other mods so I uninstalled the CrosuS mods installed All Stars and then the biggest stupidity on earth, I uninstall the game to install it somewhere else and forget to unistall All Stars... I had to go into regedit to remove the all stars entry. I Copied all of cnc generals zero hour into another folder and installed all stars there then used the other one for CrosuS.
BTW: exellent mod folks!!!!!
Thanks for all your help
