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.
