All buildings explode in 30 seconds of playing OR the game says
"Your serial is already in use". What should I do?
You must change licence key for your Generals Zero Hour. Or the one you try to
play with must change it. Google knows how.
The game shows mismatch message. What is it caused by?
There can be a number of reasons:
1. One of players uses cheats, such as "Art Money".
2. Connected players use different versions of Contra.
3. Some of connected players have bad internet connection.
Which factors define game speed?
1. Computer productivity of all connected players. The game chooses the slowest computer and reduces other computers productivity to the level of the slowest one.
2. Internet connection speed and quality. Yet again, the game looks at all connected players and chooses the worst connection speed.
3. Internet data transmition speed. It depend on players geographic location and current traffic inside Internet.
I'm logged in a network. My friend is logged into another network and can not
not log into my one because of overflow. What should I do?
Create another network and tell you friend to log into it. And remember,
that all players from all networks you are connected to can see you and
can join you.

Is Dial-Up connection enough to play multiplayer games?
From personal experience - Dial-up connection is enough to play 2-players game and talk by Teamspeak simultaneously.

How much traffic is spent for 1 hour of playing?
It depend on game intensity. If you play 2-players game on a small map then
you have about 4-5 Mb per hour. If you play 8-players game on a big map and
with large armies - then traffic is much higher. Average value is near
10 Mb per hour.

The game says "This game version is different". What should I do?
1. Probably, mod versions are different or you try to play different mods.
Always discuss mods you want to play and their versions before you start.
2. You don't have Patch 1.04 for Generals Zero Hour. Download and install it.
Download patch 1.04
