    2. TUNNEL NETWORK SPEED - Reduced the build time of GLA Tunnel Networks to match that of Generals.

    3. IMPROVED ONLINE STATS - Made improvements to the code that tracks statistics for multiplayer ranks and battle honors in Generals Online.

    4. NEW COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS - Added “-quickstart” and “-mod” command line parameters to the Zero Hour executable.

    5. BALANCE FIXES - Addressed balance issues for Jarmen Kell, the Pathfinder, and the Alpha Aurora Bomber.

    10. CRASH BUGS - Addressed bugs that caused the game to crash if you drop a bunker buster on garrisoned Tunnel Networks; and if you attempt to garrison the castle in mission GLA05 with any more than 14 units.

    11. BLACK LOTUS EXPLOIT - Fixed an issue that caused Black Lotus to capture buildings as she is moving.

    12. GLA BUILDING DESTRUCTION - Units now no longer have to be given three separate orders to completely destroy a single GLA structure.

    13. GATTLING WEAPONS FIX - All Gattling weapons can no longer be made to fire through structures by force-firing.

    14. STEALTH UNITS - Fixed an issue that caused certain stealth units to appear on an enemy’s radar occasionally.

    15. GENERALS CHALLENGE DIFFICULTY - The Generals Challenge campaign will no longer reset its difficulty when restarting a new campaign with one already in progress.

    16. NUKE GENERAL MAP FIX - Addressed an issue that caused the Nuke General AI to build multiple Nuke Silos on top of each other.

    There were also a few bugs fixed which they didnt name as it could still be used as an exploit they say.
