Problem: When playing in multiplayer you experience HIGH lag, pauses and often times data sync errors. Generals runs fine with no errors. 1.02 patch and all other drivers updated (DirectX and Video) This resolution I stumbled accross by comparing the files installed with Generals vs Zero Hour. It fixed this problem for me and It appears that my system config is very similar to all of those with the Nvidea gfource series or ATI9xxx series video cards. Locate the Options.ini file located inside "C:\Documents and Settings\(Current User)\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data". Open this file with notepad. Locate these three lines and make them look just like these. If they do not exsists then add them to the end. ExtraAnimations = no FirewallBehavior = 1 SendDelay = yes The ExtraAnimations - fix the lag from happening when the game gets loaded with armys causing lots of lag and very choppy graphics in multiplayer skirmish not online Firewall and Senddelay both assisted in the lag time when playing online forcing the game to lose data sync and ending the game. Let me know if this works for you. - Fish

The SendDelay variable is mentioned in the readme file for the latest patch as a resolution for some firewall issues. -- - Tim G.
