Command & Conquer™: Generals Deluxe Edition App Reviews

Running 10.10.5 - click launch icon, bounces in dock for less than a second and then disappears and never opens. After several minutes, get an error: "“Command & Conquer™: Generals Deluxe Edition” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “Command & Conquer™: Generals Deluxe Edition” and download it again from the App Store." I tried logging out of Game Center and restarting. Did this twice. No luck- same issue as above.

this game is make ourself great with the multplayer,and multuplayer is not open and no one can invite me with game center what happend..?? i need answer

Save your money until you stop seeing reviews about this game not working. The best you’ll be able to do is play against the AI if the game even launches. As of now, playing with my friends on GameCenter rarely works as invites almost never get through to the other person. I love the game, but I almost regret purchasing it because of the horrendous amount of problems the App Store version has.

Does not work with Gameagent. To play the game must turn off Wifi and play single player mode. Average strategy game

WARNING: This game is still non-functional under El Capitan. Aspire claims to have a workaround involving restarting and signing in/out of game center, but that only works a small percentage of the time and is very time consuming.

The game crashes al the time! Avoid buying

This game is great and plays fine. The only issue is the zoom…on a 27” iMac there is a lot of screen real estate is wasted with the zoom set way to close. Fix that and this is one the best games in the app store. If you played the game in the past and enjoyed it, this is everything you remember. Four stars because of the zoom issue only…once fixed this is a 5 star game all day.

What a complete waste of money.

New update fixed bugs, and the game is impeccable. multiplayers works perfectly and I love having this game back.

I have yet to get the game to start up completely. About 1 out of 3 tries it will get to the title screen and then dies. I found a notice that they were having issues with El Capitan back in October, but is is Feb. Seriously, you couldn’t get a fix for this in 5 months? Come on guys!!!

Lot of issues with this title, some due to the developers and others due to issues beyond their control. Hope they can address all issues (especially zooming) soon.

Paid full price for this game on the app store and then it would not install onto my computer. Abolsute waste of money. Find a way to fix this.

how long until i can play the game on 10.11 OS X it keeps on opening up and closing automatically i never disscorrent from wifi and i have this trouble

My computer will not launch the game either. each time i start it up i make it to the home screen and it cuts out. i am about to shatter my computer and go find the office that these programers are working in that are trying to fix bugs.

Be prepared for crash after crash after crash, ad nauseum...

Late 2015 iMac - Game runs very well on my iMac, gameplay itself is fun, but honestly have not spent that much time playing because of the zoom issue you’ll hear about when reading reviews. The view is way to ‘zoomed in’, way to close to the ground. Its very frustrating - moving up down side to side is tedious, and at times nauseating, i resort to clicking on the mini map to navigate, even if its close by. I dont care what the developers say, i’ve played versions of this game in the past (tiberium sun my fav) the view was not as close as it is now. I researched a bit about how to solve the issue myself, found what i thought would be a resolution (adding a few lines of instruction to the INI file via TextEdit) but ended up irrepably damaging the file. Time to uninstall/reinstall, but I feel no sense of urgency due to my above complaints. Bottom line, huge fan of the series overall, but to me the zoom issue makes game unplayable.

1.1.2 wont work on my 2014 macbook pro crashes on open

This game constantly crashes on my mac book pro. And the maps is zoomed in so far that you cant enjoy playing the game.

(update 4/3/2016) So it’s been over a year since I wrote this review and unsurprisingly Aspyr has taken absolutely no steps to fix anything. I wrote them an email last year and here was their response - "The zoom is the default setting for the PC version from which the Mac version was ported. Unfortunately, theres no update to change that at the moment.” Honestly at this point I can only conclude that Aspyr is a sleazy company with with no integrity whatsoever - I can say with absolute certainty that I will never purchase another game from Aspyr again. It’s pretty clear what the Aspyr strategy is…they hammer out one Mac port of a popular game after another, and each one is a buggy mess. The catch is that they have no intention of fixing these bugs. They are counting on Mac gamers impulse-buying their favorite PC games the second they see that they are available in the App Store. They rack up a huge amount of sales on these buggy games and then move on to the next buggy, sloppy port without fixing any of the major issues. Other Aspyr games I’ve experienced this with are Roller-Coaster Tycoon 3 (major graphical glitches that have not been fixed), Supreme Commander 2 (completely broken multiplayer that was never fixed, so they just decided to remove it from the App Store instead of putting more effort into it), and then of course there’s C&C Generals - countless negative reviews mentioning the unplayable zoom level, and Aspyr apparently could not care less…they made their money off of our initial purchases so they are on to the next buggy port. Every Aspyr release is esentially the equivalent of a Steam early access game that never leaves alpha. I stongly encourage anybody reading this to show Aspyr that Mac gamers are not clueless idiots who will unquestioningly throw money at their sloppy ports - don’t give Aspyr another cent until they fix the zoom on this game. If Aspyr is willing to realease this game in an essentially unplayable state and abandon it, then it goes without saying that they will continue to do that with future ports. --------(original review from March 2015 below)-------- i love this game - it’s just as much fun now as it was 12 years ago and the graphics still hold up today. There’s something about C&C Generals - I’ve played Starcraft 2, Supreme Commander, Planetary Annihilation, Company of Heroes, and just about every other modern strategy game, but none of them hooked me in the same way that Generals did. That being said, I’m obviously happy to see it in the App Store and I wish I could give it a perfect review, but there is one huge issue - the camera is zoomed way, WAY too far in. I am playing on my 27 inch iMac and I was excited to experience this classic game on my 2560 x 1440 display. Here I am thinking I would have a larger view of the battlefield than ever before..imagine my disappointment when I realize the zoom is capped ridiculously close to the ground. You can’t even view your own base without having to scroll all over the place trying to find the right building. It makes it so that assigning buidings to hotkeys is the only efficient way of building an army. To summarize - maximum zoom needs to be doubled at LEAST. Once that happens I will be happy to add the three missing stars PS - I saw another reviewer mentioned that the dock appears when the mouse is scrolled to the bottom of the screen. I can confirm that I am experiencing the same issue - hopefully this is fixed soon as well (unless there is some setting I am unaware of that is causing this to happen)

I have loved this game since I was a little kid. Home sick and I was excited to play again. That being said between the app not overriding the Dock, Hot Corrners or Mission Control it makes it unplayable. On top of that all the other complaints you read about al so true. Zoom is way too close. Set up makes it impossible to react quickly to any problem. I am litterally asking can i prove that I unload this app and have my money back? If so thank you!
