launcher-v0.1.5 — "Disable menu 3D scene" option

Native macOS (Apple Silicon) launcher for Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour.

NEW: "Disable menu 3D scene" checkbox on the Play tab (on by default).

Symptom → cause → fix:

  • Symptom: the game's animated 3D menu background (the "shellmap") steadily leaks
    memory the whole time the main menu is shown on macOS.
  • Cause: a macOS AGX-driver behaviour tied to rendering that shellmap scene.
  • Fix: the option launches the engine with GEN_NO_SHELLMAP=1, which renders a
    static menu background instead, so menu memory stays flat. Uncheck it to restore
    the animated scene.

Requires engine-v0.1.9 or newer (the engine hook this option relies on). The
launcher auto-downloads a compatible engine.

Apple Silicon (M-series) only.
