OS X Command and Conquer Zero Hour Mavericks Patch?

[discosoap]

Okay, I still can't get it to work. I left the original file as it is. Also, I have no User Data folder in Zero Hour. This is probably because I haven't launched [and played] the game before. So I don't see any .ini files that I can trash.

Here is the error I get from terminal after I execute the command. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

-bash: /Applications/CC/Zero Hour/Zero Hour.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenTransport: Permission denied

Hmm good one, I am not sure where to go from here, so I hope others will chime in.. Maybe set permissions of the "CC-folder" and all enclosed files and folders to "read/write/execute" for "owner, group & everyone" before executing the command in Terminal. See if that works.

Pink Animation

Has anyone experienced Pink Animation, I had the game running perfectly ok on my MBP Early 2011 and not I switched to my new MBP 13" late 2013 with retina display and I get all pink
,
I use this command to run the game

DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/Applications/Command\ \&\ Conquer\ Generals/Zero\ Hour/Zero\ Hour.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenTransport /Applications/Command\ \&\ Conquer\ Generals/Zero\ Hour/Zero\ Hour.app/Contents/MacOS/Zero\ Hour_bin

I also tried different OpenTransport frameworks and no luck.

Also the game exit after a few seconds with the following error.

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _OTAtomicAdd16
Referenced from: /Applications/Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour/Zero Hour.app/Contents/MacOS/Zero Hour_bin

Please advice, Regards

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing with the community. Did anyone find a solution yet for 10.9.3?

 

[imrodmartin]

Any luck on 15" retina?

I wish EA would issue a patch for this... I miss playing command and conquer zero hour. Especially after the reboot got cancelled they could at least support zero hour still. I've been trying to get the original to work on my retina but no luck whatsoever

I got to work on 10.9.3 by getting a copy of OpenGL.framework from 10.9.2 and copied it into /Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour/Zero Hour.app/Contents/MacOS

Ater reboot, it worked fine.

Yeah , but nothing works ! I've no idea now ..

i will explain what i did :
1- First i made zero hour executable by writing this code + "chmod +x Zero\ Hour)"

#!/usr/bin/env python

def main():
import os
path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
command='DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES="{0}/OpenTransport" "{0}/Zero Hour_bin"'.format(path)
import subprocess
subprocess.call(command, shell=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

2-i copied your framework into there "ZeroHour.app/contents/MacOs/"
and then reboot but nothing works .

I've got an idea , may you upload your Zero Hour executable file !! i may missed something !

Thanks for helping

I attached the required script file to run Zero Hour.

Rename original ZeroHour.app/contents/MacOs/Zero Hour to Zero Hour_bin

Extract the attached file and copy Zero Hour to ZeroHour.app/contents/MacOs/ along with the framework files and reboot.

Last thing, I have attached the data folder in case you don't have Zero Hour data folder, Extract the file and copy the user data folder to Zero Hour folder.

Good Luck

Okay so first of all I wanna say a big thank you to everybody who's working on this to help set a solid resolution for this issue in place!

Right so I seem to have an issue that's slightly different to anything else that people have had problems with (throughout the thread).

I actually did get ZH to launch earlier but then it closed down as I was amending settings in the option menu...and now unable to launch.

I've been through the same process multiple times but only able to recreate the following result (screen shot attached) which has occurred ever since the 'crash'.

Hopefully somebody can help me with this...I'd love to get back into ZH!

There should be 2 folders within the Zero Hour fold, One is Zero Hour Data and the other is User Data.

It seems that some how the Data folder is missing or it is not where it should be.

If the folders are ok, Then I suggest re installing the game.

Hi shafez,

I have re-installed multiple times and each time I have the same issue.

The 2nd screen shot which I have attached to this post shows the file structure I have...anything odd that sticks out?

Did you completely remove the folders or re installed over the old one?

Maybe you need to do clean install.

I have done both options.

If I do a clean install. Then update to 1.04 and 1.02. And go to launch ZH, the ZH splashscreen pops up and then closes down.

If you like, I can take some time and do a full detailed step-by-step process with screen shots to illustrate what I've been doing?
