Has anybody managed to get Command and conquer generals zero hour to work online yet using cedega or wine? I can get the game running fine on cedega, but it won't work online

surely somebody knows how to get it to work online? anybody?

hi, i run it on windows, but even then you need to manually update it to get it to work online.
try the newest one here http://www.ea.com/official/cc/generals/us/demos.jsp although i found 1.04 patch, which is what i use. I could never get the updated to download/install automatically, but once i installed them manually it worked.

Good luck, with wine tho

or are you saying that you did get it to work in linux? and it works online? if so, what are you using.. cedega or wine?
my i.p is all screwed up also when i look at it in the cnc generals options menu:s

i've managed to get Battlefield 2 working in cedega online, i don't know why cnc generals won't. Battlefield 2 just boots from the cd nicely and plays like it should play, where as CnC generals won't even boot into the game from the cd unless i use a nocd patch, which stops you from playing online anyways:s I miss CnC

but i refuse to use windows, even for games.
must be a solution somewhere

according to wine and cedega cnc generals does not work online as of yet, so looks like its hopeless

i don't know why they make it so games like Battlefield 2 work perfect online without any problems yet they can't make cnc generals work online.
C'mon Cedega, fix CnC generals!!
