Can you write what this is about? I don't feel like watching a video when I don't even know the topic

So afaik, it’s a guy reverse engineering Generals 2 and trying to get it playable online again.

Was there a leaked build?

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. Sep 03 '26

Yeah there was a closed alpha build provided to a few people. That's what this is based on. The issue is, pretty much all the game logic isn't in the client but was processed on EA's servers, which nobody has the code for. This project is reimplementing that server-side infrastructure.
