Clicking on Kane's Wrath launches C&C 3 Tiberium Wars instead

Hello folks,

So, I'll start by saying that I have been playing C&C 3 Kane's Wrath for several years now without any significate issues what so ever, that is until now. Since nothing really has changed with the game itself or my pc (except one thing), I believe I know/suspect what the culprit of my issue is (this one thing). I recently installed AVG tune up and ran the scan, which removed some so called 'broken registry items' from my pc. Unfortunately the option to undo the removals in the AVG app don't work.

Now, onto the issue itself: when I click Kane's Wrath it launches C&C 3 Tiberium Wars instead. I've tried launching it from the folder where it's installed but same outcome, it still launces C&C 3 Tib Wars instead of Kane's Wrath. I've tried reinstalling both games many times now at no result. I download and install the games through the EA app which itself I have reinstalled as well. 

Here's the interesting thing though, the last time I downloaded and installed Kane's Wrath, right after the completion of installation I get a pop up notification window in the EA app  with the option to Play the game or Clear the notification, I clicked Play and it worked! Kane's Wrath launched and I was in game. Of course after which I exited the game and tried to launch Kane's Wrath from my desktop but same result as previously: it launches C&C 3 Tiberium Wars instead. 

My assumption/guess is that something could be wrong with the pathway. By the way, in the EA app, Kane's Wrath is shown as an add on to C&C 3 Tiberium Wars, it's not shown as an stand alone game and in the app there is no option to launch the add on game Kane's Wrath, only the C&C 3 Tiberium Wars stand alone game. 

I would appreciate so much if someone could shed some light on this or provide any kind of advice what so ever.

Big thanks in advance!

  • Have you figured it out, the same problem 2 weeks, I reinstalled windows 11, reinstall ea and the game many times, no fix, the application has no idea from where it has to launch the game

  • Go to ea games folder then to tiberium folder copy the Kane wrath folder (addon) and paste it  in  the ea games

    Uninstall ea games program, then install the old origin game program, select the installation folder to be the existing ea games folder, the game will be found and playable if you are ok with offline play

    Well, after a while I have decided to give another try at it. Of course just like all my previous attempts I started with a totally fresh install of the EA app and both of the games, except, this time, before installing everything from scratch, I found the EA app still installed in one of my folders... So I'm guessing I had two copies of the EA app installed and each time, I would delete only one of them. Regardless, the game finally works and launches as it always had before. Big thanks for the help on resolving this. I'm not exactly sure but just in case, if you are having issues and are going to delete and reinstall the EA app, just make sure you delete all the copies from you're PC, again though, not sure if it is possible to have duplicate copies of the EA app installed but it does seem that was the case for me. 

  • If you go to the folder where cc3 is installed, inside it there is a folder called "Command Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath". The application named "CNC3EP1" will launch Kane's Wrath.
