Command and conquer rivals needs attention
I'm writing to you today about Command & Conquer Rivals, a game with a passionate and dedicated community. Despite its initial challenges, the game has grown significantly, particularly after a shift in development. The C&C Rivals community is actively involved, hosting tournaments, there was a live tournament in Germany streamed to the whole community with cash prizes for the winner. Additionally the community is constantly seeking ways to improve the game. However, the game is currently experiencing performance issues in several regions, including NAM, APAC, and South America. Despite numerous attempts to reach out to EA support, these issues persist. We believe that with the right attention and support, C&C Rivals can reach its full potential. A few key areas where improvement could be made include: Performance Optimization: Addressing lag and other performance issues in specific regions. Monetization Model Review: Exploring alternative monetization strategies to attract new players and retain existing ones. Community Engagement: Fostering a stronger connection with the community through regular updates and feedback channels. I'm confident that with a renewed focus on C&C Rivals, EA can tap into a passionate fanbase and revitalize this unique game. We're ready to collaborate with EA to make this a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration.
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. 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.
Files Corrupt - Red Alert 2
I went to play Red Alert 2 yesterday and it said it was installing an update, so I needed to wait til that was complete. When I tried to launch RA2 again, I got the attached error message. I repaired the file, but I keep getting the same message. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. I just want to play my game again. Yuri's Revenge works perfectly fine, btw.
No online features - EA account is restricted
Hi, everyone. Everytime that I try to go online in Command and Conquer Remastered, I receive this message saying that my EA account is restricted from accessing any online features, as seen in the attachment. Already went through all EA Support procedures given by EA Help staff, with no luck until now. From 24 games in my EA library, this is the only one that is blocking me from playing online. No account bans (ever!), Windows 11 PC completely updated , as the drivers, no issues with my EA account regarding any other game, game uninstalled/reinstalled, as well the EA App. Any further help? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Would appreciate some help here.Add game manuals for Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection games on Steam
Please add game manuals for all the Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection games on Steam. Steam supports opening PDF game manuals from the Steam client without having to download the game. Link for viewing manuals is also added to the Steam store page. Most Command & Conquer games that were sold before The Ultimate Collection was added to Steam already have Manuals on Steam, but none of the games added to the Ultimate Collection release have these manuals set up. The games added with Ultimate Collection do include the game manual in the game files once they are downloaded, but I would like to see the option for viewing the manual without having to download the game, added to these games as well. Games without manual on Steam: Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Games that include manuals in game files once downloaded on Steam: Command & Conquer and The Covert Operations Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Counterstrike and The Aftermath Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge Command & Conquer: Generals Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Firestorm Command & Conquer: Renegade Games that already have these manuals on Steam: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3: Uprising Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars: Kane's Wrath Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian TwilightRedAlertMobile
Subject: Request for a Mobile Version of Red Alert Message: As a long-time fan of Command & Conquer: Red Alert, I’d love to see an official version released for iOS and Android. The RTS genre has great potential on mobile, and I believe Red Alert could be a huge success with its nostalgic value and gameplay depth. Please consider developing a mobile adaptation or remaster. Thank you!Can't purchase the ultimate collection from steam
I've attached my correspondence with steam. Basically, I can't purchase the game because it keeps failing to go through. In the end, steam points a finger at the publisher (after not helping at all or answering my questions), and claims that the issue is with EA. Is this true?
Red Alert 3 Bug and Version Problem
I bought the The Ultimate Collection to get RA3 from Origin, and my little brother just simply bought the RA3 himself from Origin too, we play together without any problem, but some recent update make things change. Now my RA3 become version1.13 automatically, even uninstall and install it again won't change anything, and with this my RA3's little loading page never display normally. Each time after I install the RA3 and first time open it, a window asking me to log into my EA account, even I had already open the EA APP and keep it log in, it's annoying but not big deal. And the worst is, since my RA3 become version 1.13, I could never play with my little brother again, the reason is that my little brother's RA3 is still version 1.12, and it even working without any problem and could play with others through it's version is not the latest. I'm really love RA3 and the time playing with my little brother, but I just can't solve the problem even I try my hardest, please, somebody help me.
Command & Conquer ultimate edition bundle was purchased over 10 years ago
so Command & Conquer ultimate edition bundle was purchased over 10 years ago the ea store saying i own the bundle but im missing about 8 cnc games from that bundle it can be seen in the atachments i own the ultimate edition but im missing the gamesMatching
As fairly new to this game I find it quite fascinating to play with the strategies and different opponents. However it is highly annoying to be matched with someone at a far higher level. I am currently level 26 and have commander highest level 9 and in 4/5 matches opponents use level 44 units and are level 10. It may be that one is not loosing points in case it is 'high level units - unknown units - etc' but being able to keep motivation and not throw the phone, it would be nice to have a much more fair matching. Let the high level players play with eachother and give the smaller and new ones a chance even to let the game catch on. Would hope this will be taken into consideration and adjusted. Kindly CRenegade Clanwars
How can we recreate a competitive version of Renegade and bring back the clanwars.cc feel. I feel this game thrived on small competitive games but it does not have a matchmaking setup like other games. Multiplayer in this game is just pub server with the server ranks of just points from whoring all game. i think if this game gets the right marketing matchmaking online setup with elo it could take off again. Set the game up mode to have 2v2 and 3v3 options and people can start to climb the rank ladder properly. make renegade great again and not with ren x
