The single worst part of CnC:Generals Zero Hour was the fatal...

MISMATCH DETECTED ERROR

..where the game would lose sync and suddenly this message would pop up on everyone's screen, immediately ending the game and exiting.

To say the least, its frustrating playing a game for a good hour only to have it mismatch and end abruptly. And the worst part is, if you have 4+ human players, you pretty much are GUARANTEED to get a mismatch error.

Who the hell can forget that, getting Zero Hour to work between you and 2+ friends is next to impossible.

And the worst thing is that after 4 patches this is still an unsolved problem. I hate EA because they release buggy games, make a quick buck, and quickly abandon them.

It is funny that you mentioned that, after a couple of years i forgot about it. A couple of friends and i dug them up a few weeks ago, loaded them all up (separate cds/keys/etc) then loaded the same patches right after the install. Then went into the game, only two of us could get them to work together...... After all these years.... Lets just cross our fingers for C&C3.

Yeah its really the only game my friends and I play beside counter-strike... EA is a source of constant frustration for us.

And of course, the only way C&C3 will be good is if EA gets "lucky"... I swear the mismatch bug was probably the worst possible problem any kind of RTS game could have.

I would buy this game...


...in a parallel universe where EA didn't exist.

Lol, the topic wasn't even on the second page yet! There wasn't a need for a bump!

Well, since I'm already posting a message...I might as well get on with it.

That game looks so sick. And so godly. You truly cannot kill the messiah!

I am going to guess that you aren't smart enough to tell the difference and give you the benefit of the doubt. Any other such transgressions will earn you a ticket out of here.
