@github-actions github-actions released this 07 Jul 10:49

Native macOS arm64 launcher for Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour.

New — "Mods & Extensions" tab

  • Extensions: one-click Install / Remove of optional add-ons straight into your game folder. First add-on: Vehicle Dual Guard — the two-click Guard-From-Position order on every Cold War Crisis combat vehicle & aircraft (attacks anything entering a watch zone, returns home when the threat clears).
  • Mods: a guided path for third-party mods we don't host — opens the mod's official download page (e.g. Cold War Crisis on ModDB) and registers the file you downloaded so it launches via the mod system.
  • The catalog loads live from the repo, so new add-ons appear without a launcher update. Refresh reloads it and re-checks what's installed.

Install

  1. Download GeneralsZH-Launcher.dmg, open it, and drag GeneralsZH Launcher.app onto the Applications folder.
  2. The app is ad-hoc signed (not notarized), so macOS blocks it on first launch. Clear the quarantine flag once in Terminal, then open normally:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/GeneralsZH Launcher.app"
    
  3. Pick the folder with your original Zero Hour data (.big files) and press Play. The engine is downloaded automatically from the latest engine-v* release.

(GeneralsZH-Launcher.app.zip is also attached — it's what the launcher's built-in updater uses.) Apple Silicon (M-series) only. Checksums in SHA256SUMS.
