Re: EA App - Failed to launch game (error on our end)

Same Issue here:

SimCity (2013) Complete Edition

Warning Message: This game requires permissions

This game requires administrative privileges. Do you want to grant access and launch the game?

OK

Error Message: Failed to launch game

An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.

OK

Already tried all the troubleshooting steps including:

  • Rebooting and Restarting app
  • Repairing Game files
  • Updating Drivers and Windows
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling game
  • Clearing EA App Cache
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling EA App
  • Clearing registry and reinstalling both

Nothing works. If I recall correctly, some of the older games required EA Origin in order to activate so clearly some of these older games have not been properly updated to support the new EA App without Origin running in the background.
