Generals Online is not just another GameSpy emulator - it's a complete reimagining of multiplayer services for Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour.

Built upon the SuperHackers fork of the source code released by Electronic Arts, this community-driven project revitalizes and modernizes the game's multiplayer experience, improving stability, client functionality, and overall service reliability - all while preserving the original gameplay you know and love.

The following enhancements have been made to the original Zero Hour game:

 Making It Easier To Play
Easy to get working: Port forwarding on routers is no longer required for 99% of networks
Improved Responsiveness: 60Hz multiplayer logic tick rate, uncapped client framerate
Higher Connectivity: Utilizing the latest networking technology results in far higher connection success rates
Easy To Update: The latest version of GeneralsOnline will be automatically downloaded via the in-game updater
Easy Authentication: Use your Steam, Discord or GeneralsOnline account!

 Stability & Security
Better Stability: Multiple improvements to game stability & mismatches (In a future update, mismatches will also self-correct!)
Faster Fixes: With automatic error/crash reporting, we can turn around fixes for your issues quickly
Better Security: Game traffic is encrypted with the latest industry standards

 Quality of Life
Find Matches Quicker: Lobby lists are now updated automatically
Host Migration: Lobbies will now migrate when the host leaves during the setup phase
Removing Frustration: Connectivity checks now take place upon joining a lobby, instead of when the match starts
Getting to game quicker: Lobby hosts can now force players to ready up
