What does Community Patch mean, you may ask? It means that this patch, upon successful completion, will become the official patch for our community, i.e. the Generals-ZH.ru League and other tournaments supported by our portal will only take place on this patch!

We have done a large part of the work, but I want to say that this is not the end of the work and there will be new changes and improvements ahead. I ask you to read the Changelog carefully, thinking about each change, and if any point initially seems absurd, do not rush to conclusions, just read to the end, there will surely be answers to your questions. After you read everything, we can discuss the details, changes, shortcomings, etc. And what you need to know is that the changes were made relative to patch 1.06, BUT this changelog is written relative to patch 1.04!

Patch Installation

1. Copy the game shortcut ZH 1.04.

2. Paste it wherever convenient for you. For example, on the desktop.

3. Rename it to ZH 1.08.

4. Right-click on it and open properties.

5. Find the line "Target" and at the very end of this line write this: -mod 1.08.big (there should be a space before the dash).
