Contra 009 Final Patch 1 is live! CLICK ON "Read more..." TO SEE THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Link to Contra 009 Final Patch 1 changelog
Installation instructions:
Extract all the content from the "Contra009FinalPatch1" archive to your Zero Hour directory with Contra 009 Final already installed. To play the mod, open "Contra_Launcher.exe".
You will find startup options such as music, language, unit voices, etc. Decide your preferences and click "Launch".
To play online with others, set up ContraVPN.
Contra will auto-detach itself from Zero Hour on exit, so that you can launch vanilla Zero Hour or any other mod.
Manual installation instructions for those having problems with launcher:
I want to emphasize that for these steps you MUST NOT use the Contra Launcher. Many people don't read carefully and fail to install the mod.
1. Install Contra 009 Final.
2. Put all files from the "Contra009FinalPatch1" archive into your Zero Hour folder (NOT the one in My Documents).
3. Rename !!Contra009Final_Patch1.ctr to !!Contra009Final_Patch1.big.
4. Rename !!Contra009Final_Patch1_EN.ctr to !!Contra009Final_Patch1_EN.big OR rename !!Contra009Final_Patch1_RU.ctr to !!Contra009Final_Patch1_RU.big if you want Russian language.
5. Rename !!Contra009Final_Patch1_EngVO.ctr to !!Contra009Final_Patch1_EngVO.big if you want English unit voices. If you want to use the native voices, you don't have to change anything.
6. Rename Scripts folder to Scripts1 (which is located inside Data folder).
7. Start the game from generals.exe (NOT Contra_Launcher.exe)!
Zero Hour version 1.04 and Contra 009 Final are required!
If the Patch 1 launcher does not start, you need a modern .NET Framework 4.7.2 Runtime
Installers you can use to get it (choose one):
- Online: Dotnet.microsoft.com
- Offline: Download.microsoft.com
Nice :D the GLA will remain supreme
Fantastic, however there is one issue:
"Yan Wang range decreased by 10%. Ability to attack aircraft removed."
Don't you think that makes Nuke general very vulnerable to air attacks ? Considering that their most effective anti-air land unit is Gatling tank which is not even as effective as Vortex tank or Gauss tank.
I recommend adding an upgrade to Yan Wang, the ability to fire at aircraft. The player can either choose that or the MIRV upgrade.
i agree with you
I strongly disagree
I agree with you too, also please bring back his amazing voice :/
AI seems weak now even in insane, stealth general is not using the camo netting.
Mind if I ask for GLA strategies? Cause I feel them... weak
[ But I am mostly sure I must be overlooking something. ]
I have no problems playing with China or Usa generals, but I am struggling using the new GLA (specially on challenge mode).
GLA generals:
Stealth gets destroyed really early.
Struggling to keep pressure using Bomb general only to get overrun.
Dr Trax I don't feel it deals enough damage (the pumps are weak and the factory of clouds don't deal good damage).
Salvage general, it's just there...
Help
stealth is one of my favorite factions
many times when I play a hard matches against multiple AI I was about to be defeated but I am managing to rebuild myself in another place . hiding your buildings and camoflaged tunnel networks and sneak attacks are a very useful tactics especially in large maps
for my strategy... probably make a row of deff building then make some very long range unit to provide destroying long range unit...
demo general
create your defense with stealth ed terrorists very effective
as the name says it use bombers
haccum general
its just offensive strategy

One thing you should always bear in mind: never go on a full-on frontal battle against American or Chinese factions unless you play as Assault, the GLA is not designed for this. Instead, use guerrilla warfare and hit-n-run tactics, use GLA mobility at your advantage. You need to be aggressive and proactive right at the start, especially with a GLA faction. If need be, relocate your base somewhere else.
Also, forget about turtling. This actually works for very few factions or players, especially if fighting against the AI. Contra's AI is more sophisticated than Zero Hour so expect it to be very proactive. Building a wall of defenses costs time and money. You have more to earn by attacking your opponent fast and precisely. Like they say: best defense is a good offense.
any news about the next step ?
Oh my god \o/
Hi ,
I am playing in mac ,in Challenge mod ,Granger vs China Infantry ,the game crushes in first 5 minutes.
Can you please let me know if you have a fix ?
Thanks in advance
I could not run game with nvidia geforce 940M processor
al for USA super weapon is stopping after make a barrack and 9 infantry unit and a power supply and a resource without a chopter to take money
This can happen with all generals depending on map. If enemy players are too close to each other, one will stop producing because of nearby threat. It is hardcoded AI behavior that cannot be changed by mods. You should attach a screenshot of that base and give more info for me to analyze. Otherwise, I can just give you general info which might not be related.
but it won't happen if the all al is superweapon general or my ally (if 1 of the enemy is superweapon general... it happen)
Ok, I see. I will try to fix it.
hi guys, please i need help, i just installed the mod and i see that i can play only challenges and skrimish but not any campaign also once i start the game just says you are victorious, did i do anything wrong? please help fix
Верните Кассаду его снайперов!
They always were overpowered, thats why was made decision to cut them off
The game is very difficult even in easy mode
ThePredatorBG, can you fix the challenge vs Superweapon general because the dozer almost destroyed or destroyed in video view mode before starting to build. Pls fix it. The proof is in the youtube from a guy named Julio Roca youtuber.
I mean almost every general
im getting the serious problem detected error also cant start launcher.
Download and install Download.microsoft.com (.NET Framework 4.7.2 Runtime) to fix launcher not starting up.

Hello,
I have just installed the Contra Modification (yesterday), I was able to play it for a while, it was a lot of fun and not that easy anymore. Now today, when I started the game, everything was colored pink, like the game can't find the textures. I ended the launcher and then tried to start the normal CNC Zero Hour, but it says "Please Enter the first game CD". I bought the game with Origin, so there is nothing like a CD.
Your game's registry got corrupted somehow. Reinstall the game to fix it.
still getting mismatch error while playing online with friends using the inbuilt VPN , everything uptodate , using COntra009 final patch 1
any ideas ?
Remove AI players if you have them.
Nice work guys. However, GLA generals are not performing very well in challenge mode. Limited super weapons & super units are not making you progress throughout the challenge. I am actually going back to contra 007 to enjoy building more super units to crush the enemy. I also noticed that playing game on Easy difficulty is nowhere near Easy.
I don't know if you have previously received such notes but here they are. Thanks
у меня это не скачивается что делать?
Try to download from this mirror: Mega.nz
hey i'cant make any save in gla boss challenge whatever i try to load any save file from the same challenge in the game the game crash every time what can i do ???
and sorry for my bad english....
After installing new patch, i got this, maybe its because windows 10 option.ini
But before installing new patch everything were working fine
Imgur.com
I highly doubt that Patch 1 did that because it doesn't do anything to the core game. If you have this problem, it means Zero Hour cannot locate Generals in the registry. So, if you try to start vanilla ZH, it won't run. The only known solution to this is to reinstall the game. The cause is unknown, but it's rare.
Huge thank for fast reply, complete fresh reinstall fixed that issue!
Best wishes

Hi,
I would like to ask, if it would be possible to create Hackers right in the Internet Centers. It would be easier to manage the base then. Sorry if I ask for something you discussed earlier somewhere else. Thank you.
Hey everyone
Can you please teach me how to install the patch ???
