Hoewel de expansion pack van Command and Conquer Generals, Zero Hour, nog maar net in de winkel ligt, is er al fors kritiek op de multiplayer over internet geuit. Vandaar dat Electronic Arts bezig is met het maken van een patch. Voor de gewone versie zonder uitbreidings pakket zal er naar alle waarschijnlijkheid ook een patch komen. De patches zullen waarschijnlijk de volgende elementen bevatten:
Patch 1.7 for C&C Generals
FORCE FIRE – CHINA’s Gattling Tanks can no longer force fire through buildings.
RALLY POINTS – Added rally points to the GLA Tunnel Networks.
IMPROVED ONLINE STATS – Made improvements to the code that tracks statistics and disconnects in online games.
CRASH FIX – Fixed a crash bug related to the Particle Cannon.
DESYNCH FIX – Fixed a mismatch that occurred when ordering a unit to attack right after they exited a building.
REGION ACCURACY – User tooltip in the Custom Match lobby now correctly displays the user’s region.
HERO RADAR ICON – Jarmen Kell, Black Lotus and Colonel Burton now have a special icon on the radar map.
