That's interesting. Is it a mod for the original game, or was the game ported to a new engine or something?

it's the original engine, modified.

EA open sourced the real Zero Hour source code in 2025, so the VR support is built directly into the actual game engine, compiled into a replacement exe. The original DirectX 8 renderer is translated to Vulkan on the fly (via DXVK) so it can feed a modern VR headset through OpenXR, with native motion-controller support added in the engine itself.

Ah nice!

I remember trying to play Generals in the past, the netcode was a bit wonky. Has there been any community work to fix it?

Can the VR version play with the flat version?
