Generals Online

macOS Installation

macOS Gatekeeper will block this app because it is a free community port without a paid Apple Developer certificate. You need to remove the quarantine flag using Terminal before playing.

1 Open Terminal

Open the Terminal app from Launchpad or Spotlight Search.

2 Type the command

Copy the following command. Make sure there is a space at the end, but do not press Enter yet:

sudo xattr -cr

3 Drag and Drop

Drag the unzipped Generals Online.app into the Terminal window. The path will be inserted automatically. Then press Enter.

4 Enter your Mac Password

The Terminal will ask for your Mac administrator password (the PIN/password you use to log in to your computer).

⚠️ Wait! Your typing will be invisible!

When you type your password, no characters or asterisks will appear on the screen. This is a normal macOS security feature. Just type your password blindly and press Enter.

5 Open the Launcher

You can now double-click the app to launch it! In the launcher, select the folder containing your original Windows game data.

    Game Cache:
    main folder ~/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data/
    custom maps ~/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data/maps/
    replays ~/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data/Replays/
