There seem to have been some issues with the new patch. Therefor EA has released another patch. ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/eapacific/generals/generalszh/DownloadablePatches/Gener alsZH-102-english.exe >>From the official messageboards at www.generals.ea.com: *** Here are the contents... - Fixed the missing particle effects (Alpha Aurora fuel-air bomb, other explosions). There are possibly some remaining cases but we'll get to those soon. - Fixed a bug that caused Stinger Site occupants to remain forever disabled after they've been attacked by a Microwave Tank. - When building the Avenger, the War Factory is now the only requirement for the Laser General and USA General. The Strategy Center is no longer required. - Technicals build slightly slower and cost 50 more credits for the Demo General. Enjoy and Happy Holidays. --Harvard "Gustav Olofsson" <gustav.olofsson@telia.com> wrote in message news:hopDb.42275$dP1.164613@newsc.telia.net... > Download it from here: ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/eapacific/generals/generalszh/ > > A lot of new maps, nice. > > *** > > Version 1.01 - December, 2003 > > Issues addressed: > > 1.
