EA, please bring "Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection" to GOG.
Hello EA, I realize you're going through some serious business changes (or preparing to), but I wanted to bring this up sooner than later. EA hasn't released any "new" old games on GOG in probably 8 or more years, and I think many GOG users would like to see that change. "Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection" has over 85,000 votes on the GOG Dreamlist. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/command-conquer-the-ultimate-collection I realize that's not a billion dollar deal, but I wouldn't call it an "unworthy" revenue stream either. (There are a lot more EA games people want other than this, but I figured it might help to post a specific series (at least for now).) I have also suggested other GOG users politely post here to show support. To the moderator: please do your best to ensure this "bubbles up" the chain of command, as best you can. I do recognize there's only so much you can do. Thank you.
Kane’s Wrath missing from my EA App library (C&C Collection)
Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help or maybe an EA community manager can take a look at this. A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to reinstall some of my favorite old games. I own the Command & Conquer bundle on EA App (the one that includes all the titles and expansions), and I’ve always been able to play them all — especially Kane’s Wrath, which is my favorite. But recently, I noticed that Kane’s Wrath has completely disappeared from my library. All the other C&C titles are still there and install just fine, but this one is just gone. I’ve already tried everything I could think of — clearing cache, reinstalling EA App, checking for account mix-ups, etc. I even submitted a support ticket about two weeks ago, but I haven’t received any reply yet. Has anyone else run into this problem? Or maybe EA is aware of it?Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. I just really want to play it again. Alex
C&C games - "Failed to launch game" error
Greetings, EA support told me to post here as they have no fix currently for this issue nor any other troubleshooting steps to try. (Case #207569798). Also, via the "EA error reporter" (within the EA app) I submitted a report which has the report ID: "b5282740-5a98-41a4-aa8e-f605b90ce194". I'm using Windows 10 Home (22H2 OS Build 19045.5737), fully updated, and EA app v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c). On a local user Windows session, C&C3, C&C4 Tiberium Twilight and C&C Red Alert 3 will launch via EA app (ran as admin), but not: 1) C&C and The Covert Operations; 2) C&C Generals and Zero Hour; 3) C&C Red Alert; 4) C&C Red Alert 2; 5) C&C Renegade and; 6) C&C Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. Those six C&C games will all produce the error in the EA app: "Failed to launch game. An error occurred on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." when attempted to be launched (as described above). These nine C&C games will launch without any problem from the EA app on the admin session. Launching straight C&C95.exe from C&C and The Covert Operation install folder on local user session, with or without admin rights, will run the game just fine in both cases, but the EA app can't launch it! EA support confirmed games should run when launched from EA app on non-admin Windows session. sfc /scannow and dism /online cleanup-image /scanhealth scans have been run. EA app cache was reset. EA app was reinstalled (CCleaner + manually deleted EA related folders in ...\AppData\local, locallow and roaming). All Microsoft Visual C++ versions are up-to-date and were repaired. Graphic driver is up-to-date. Booting with all non-Windows services disabled didn't allow games to boot. Games were repaired. Games were reinstalled (CCleaner + del local, locallow, roaming...). Both the games and EA app directories have all permissions on the local user Windows session (right-click folder > Properties > Security tab > Advanced > Permissions). Creating a new local user account on the PC and launching these six C&C games via the EA app (ran as admin) also produces the error. Fully disabling UAC on admin session sets the UAC on local user Windows session to level 3 ("Always notify me (and do not dim my desktop) when:"). Games received new entitlement. EA support said the "Failed to launch game" issue would be caused when "something in the player PC conflicts with EA app" and "services" could also be the cause. If so, what "services" needs to be running for C&C and The Covert Operations to launch? EDIT (~April 23rd 2025): I hypothesized that some of EA app's processes which are running on the admin session would not be running on the local user session and further tested which processes are running on both sessions when launching C&C and The Covert Operations and identified some differences. Of note, on local user session, launching C&C and The Covert Operations from the EA app (ran as admin) have EABackgroundService.exe launching EAGEP.exe, but that latter process fails to launch EADesktop.exe*32 as sub-process (while it succeeds on admin session) and then EAGEP.exe simply shuts down a few seconds after being launched. (Please see picture below). Also on local user session, when the EA app is running, it is missing one EACefSubProcess.exe (also see the picture below). It seems to me that the issue could lie with the EA app and not the games themselves (since the games launch fine on the admin session). EDIT (June 1st 2025): I updated the EA app today, from version v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c) to v13.477.0.5990 (96992-a9584648e1), but the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: a110da93-add5-4572-99fd-fdba9ccd474a. EDIT (July 27th 2025): I updated the EA app again today. It's now version 13.515.0.6028 (99438-3b801146c1) and the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: 945927f8-124a-4656-8c81-c9b78a771516. EDIT (October 3rd 2025): I updated the EA app again today to version 13.566.0.6079 (102087-8ff6ble0658) and the issue is still present. I submitted another EA app report with the ID: 44963cd9-efea-45ed-99f3-44eb63da1b54. No website admin post or helping in 6 months since OP... Any help to get those games running on non-admin Windows session via the EA app will be much appreciated! Mike [CM Edit - Adding information from OP's separate solution thread] C&C4 - General system error - FIXED When launching C&C4 Tiberium Twilight via the EA app on local user session with EA app ran as admin, the game asks to enter the EA account login credentials. Entering the EA account credentials in the C&C4 login screen and trying to login gives the error message "General system error". (Please see the picture below). On an admin session, launching C&C4 via the EA app and entering the credentials succeeded and the game was able to launch properly. Afterwards on local user session, launching the EA app as admin and from it launching C&C4 had the process of login succeed this time. My intuition tells me that the admin session wrote the files associated with the login process and then the local user session could use them.

Red Alert 2 and 3 Remastered
Hey guys. Hope someone sees this. I just wanted to say I love the Red Alert Franchise and would love to see it brought back to life. As long as I can remember it was unavailable for online play. I couldn't play campaign with friends or pvp with friends. The only time I had a chance is though lan and it was tons of fun. My favorite Red Alert is the second one. I have never even played the first red alert so it is not likely I will buy and play it. However I'm really hoping for Red Alert 2 remastered. Or at least servers brought back to life. I have bought most CnC and not going to lie, if you get servers up I will pay again and bring 4 of my friends with me. They as well love the game. Any news on the following titles and possible revives? Red Alert 2 Red Alert 3 CnC 3: Tiberium wars CnC 3: Kane's Wrath and CnC generals?

Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour Crash(and burn)
Saturday, August 30, 2025 8/30/25 4:49:09 PM Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour. I have repaired and repaired and repaired, but I keep getting the same error after the "splash" screen. [DirectX Error] "Please make sure you have DirectX 8.1 or Higher installed. Also verify that your video card meets the Min. requirements."... I have checked: I have DirectX 12 installed, and have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Also: Please excuse my flagrant attempt to get my issue noticed a third time, because I have issued a "Report" twice now for this issue. This is not the first time I have had problems with Command & Conquer games, so please forgive my hesitation in believing they will address this problem quickly. Thank you "EA" for looking at it again this 3rd time (Because of this third, if not direct, request for this problem to be solved) Report code: f5b62003-b0d7-4efc-a98e-c208336631e2 Report code: 79e508d8-c362-4657-8cd5-8d6dba4404e7
Matchmaking for Command and Conquer Rivals
I don’t like your match making system. I’ve played for a week straight and I keep having to play against people who are much much higher power than me. This is absolutely ridiculous that I have to continue to fight upward every time I log on. They have much more powerful units, am I suppose to die repeatedly until I get a free win? This has absolutely frustrated me to quit playing. Sorry this is not what I expect from EA sports games. I loved C&C growing up but this is not any good.

Hello, I am writing to report an issue with C&C Rivals. I recently logged in using my Google account on a new device, but the game is not loading. I have already attempted to resolve this by linking my EA ID to my Google account on the EA website, but the game still fails to load. When I checked my account information on the EA website, I found that the "Persona ID" field is empty and cannot be edited. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue as soon as possible?
