Generals Zero Hour and 1280x1024

[AllanKyoto]

I saw that in Anand's recent video review he benchmarked Generals Zero Hour at 1280x1024. For the life of me, I can't get the game to run at that resolution. I have an LCD monitor that's native res is 1280x1024 so I'm desperate to get it to run at that resolution. I can't seem to enable it in the options.ini and the resolution doesn't show up in the regular menu.

Any thoughts? I guess Anand or the other guys who worked on that review would know but I really need them to see this thread to give me and the other desperate LCD owners what they really want!

Well I talked to Derek who helped out Anand with the review and he said they made a mistake with the benchmarking and Generals Zero Hour was actually benched at 1280x960 and not at 1280x1024. Guess there is no hope for my perfect picture :-(

Actually...go in to My Documents, go to the Zero Hour folder, go to options.ini, and manually input the Res. This'll put you at 1280x1024...I'm at that res now.
You can't go to the options menu in the game though, or it'll revert to 800x600.

Thats what i did.
If you want to change other ingame options without it resetting the resolution;
Edit them, then when it changes the resolution back to 800x600, click revert settings. It`ll keep the new setting, and keep the old 1280x1024 resolution.
