The First Decade - a 2-minute montage acting as a trailer for the videos on the disc.Interestingly, Zero Hour did not suffer from this issue. The 1.08 patch for Generals was specifically created and released prior to the release of The First Decade to prevent online incompatibilities with regular disc versions of the game.

The only other localized version of The First Decade, the German one, is not compatible with this patch. It also removes the need for the DVD to play. The community created an unofficial patch to fix most of the issues for the English version and update some of the earlier games to increase compatibility (albeit with superseded versions of respective patches). Certain tracks from Counterstrike and Aftermath were mistakenly omitted, some of the registry files were written incorrectly (a mistake likely transferred to the 2012 The Ultimate Collection compilation), and Shared Internet Components for Westwood's games were not properly registered on Windows Vista and up. The First Decade was released with several glitches and errors of its own.
