C&C: ShockWave is an enhancement mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour.

The main goal of this mod is to make Zero Hour a more interesting game with more diversity between the generals, making you think twice before you select a certain general, and overall provide more choices, diversity, and strategic freedom than in Zero Hour - while keeping the spirit and design direction of the original Generals game and storyline.

ShockWave will include 3 new Generals in version 0.95, over 100 new units, tons of new structures, upgrades, maps and many other gameplay tweaks. ShockWave also provides completely custom made sound effects and music, new in-game weapon effects and visuals, bug fixes, and an improved battlefield overview with a higher viewpoint.

The 3 new generals - Deathstrike, Ironside and Leang will get their own general"s challenge maps, and we will implement their voices, taunts and personality as EA intended sometime after version 1.1.

ShockWave runs closed and open beta versions, and we strive to preserve balance between all the different factions to make sure the game is equally enjoyable online and offline. Bug hunting is top priority for us as well, and ShockWave is one of the most stable mods out for Zero Hour. Even so, Shockwave 1.0 has just been released, and could still have some bugs that need working out.

- The ShockWave team.

Drop by our highly active forums to get tech support and have a matchup with other ShockWave fans online! (The Ideas and Suggestions forum has been closed as future content is solidifying and suggestions are no longer necessary.)

Please don"t ask for the release date, or even an estimate, as there is never a release date.

NOTE: Get support at the offsite forums instead. Before you ask, remember this: try a clean install first. (make sure you delete the folder are the uninstall)
- The install order is for the latest version is: Gen. > ZH > ZH 1.04 patch > Shw 1.1
* If you"re using The First Decade, you need not install the 1.04 patch as TFD comes with it.

Just came back to the game and encountered 2 problems so far:
- Nuke general doesn"t use his nukes in Challenge mode, the timer seems to be glitched as well.
- AI does not rebuild destroyed command centers (at least in Challenge mode). I thought that"s a standard fix in all good mods?

Hey everyone,
I have installed the Mod using GenLauncher.
But i am enocintering a strange graphical bug, which also extends itself to the SHW Chaos Mod.
Every Demo Bike (and some of the demo terrorists) causes a strange grey and black "fog" (in the lack of a better term) wich covers nearly the whole screen.
This makes it pretty annoying to fight against Demo Gen.
Can somebody help me with this issue?
(Im running it with the following setup:
Windows 11 Pro 23H2
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
AMD RX 6900 XT (newest Driver [24.10.1])
32 GB RAM
with the Game on Steam)
Also i Used GenPatcher in advance

Best regards

are u german ? might consider a uncut patch. german versions of the game are cut and the demo bikes are different, what can result in gray and black artefacts across the screen. i dont know if other plugins already can do this or not been a while since doing this.

Yes that might be the issue...
I will reinstall in english and report back.
Thank you for the suggestion
