Ich dachte mir, wir können hier vielleicht auch mal einen Thread zu dem Thema gebrauchen. Da ich inzwischen das englische Generals Message Board abgegrast habe, und so ziemlich alles versucht habe was es gibt um diese bescheuerten Serious Error Meldung los zu werden. Aber Zero Hour tut es immer und immer wieder. Zudem scheint es die Entwickler auf dem Board auch kein Stück zu interessieren, obwohl es da einen Thread mit über 120 Beiträgen und massenweise Lösungsansätzen und Errorlogs gibt. Keine Ahnung was EA sich dabei denkt. Ich werd das Game jedenfalls demnächst irgendwo wegräumen, da es in meinen Augen so unspielbar ist.
Hier ein Beitrag von mir aus einem anderen Forum, ich hab jetzt keine Lust es zu übersetzen (ausser es interessiert vielleicht doch ein paar Leute):

Good Morning all
Well, i'm also fighting with this stupid serious error. This week i tried to solve it, so i first read the whole thread on the generals message board. Here is what i've done:
- removed one of my 2x512MB DDR 400 RAMs
- set FSB to normal 166 (333)
- set standart timings for RAM
- set swapfile to windows controled (not really possible with Win2k)
- set everything to "performance" (driver)
- set generals to low resolution
- disabled all details in the game
- set texture resolution and particle to low
- closed all unnecessary background applications
- set AGP to 4x
- disabled fast write
- enabled vsync
Now, with 7 hard players and myself i could play a litte longer then usual. But then firs my units began to stuck (also a common problem with my ZH), and then later i got the serious error. NO overheating, its impossible. Also NO virus. The detail and resolution was so low, it looked like crap.
I also read a few posts here, and someone mentioned to enable side band adressing. Unfortunately this is not possible with the detonator 53.03, it's gray and i can not check the box.
Oh and another thing.... after i pulled the 2nd RAM out, and put it in again later, my comp would not boot anymore (just stoped after the first boot screen with IRQ and so on...). I tried everything, default default default and even more default setting, it will not work. Now i just can use the one still inside. I tried the other one alone, but then not even my GFXcard bios appears - just nothing happens. Well... it seems i damaged it somehow when i pulled it out. Don't know why, there is no visible damage. Lucky G.E.I.L. RAM has a life time waranty. Maybe Generals don't like G.E.I.L. at all??
I really don't know how i ever will be able to play ZH and have fun with it, unless EA fixes it. But when i look into the generals message board, and count the answers from EA regarding this... 0. So sooner or later i have to scrap and dump ZH somewhere. Or claim to have my money back from EA. :/

So. Wie schaut das eigentlich hier bei uns aus? Gibts hier auch ein paar Leute die bald wahnsinnig werden deswegen? Zum Glück sind wir wegen Win schon so weit abgehärtet. ;)
