I have trouble playing Zero Hour online. I am able to play some games just fine, albeit with some lag in big groups but that's normal. However, sometimes, very irregularly but quite often, the games mismatch or disconnect without no apparent reason. I've also had a couple of crashes due to "serious error" with a relatively short interval. I tried playing on medium graphics but it didn't help a bit. What should I do, just live with it?

I'm quite positive it's not my computer being unable to run ZH. I have AMD Athlon II x2 215 dual core with 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GT 320 #Tongue The OS is W7. I use a wireless network.

I've also noticed a strange thing in the past, that keeps happening even today. The internet connection stays solid 24/7 unless I play something online, be it Tiberian Sun or Generals. While playing, the connection tends to drop every hour, more or less, for a few seconds. It doesn't really matter to me, but I've seen others not taking it so lightly when the game is suddenly interrupted Wink

Anyway, this problem does get really annoying sometimes, for example I haven't been able to finish a single game today because the game has either mismatched (though twice it was caused by someone else, I know this for sure) or otherwise disconnected.

Either you've got some mod installed, or haven't removed a mod correctly, or your just a victim of the random Disconnection Detected bug Confused

Have you tried forwarding the Generals online ports on your router or tried running hooked directly to an Ethernet cable?
