Cannot play Command & Conquer Remastered Collection

When I try and play C&C from the EA app the following window pops up:

    This game requires permissions

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

After clicking OK, the following window pops up:

    Failed to launch game

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

I have tried running the EA app as an administrator, and running ClientLauncherG.exe as an administrator.  I log into Windows as a user, but I do know the admin username and password.

I am finding others with the same problem, but I have not found a solution other than to modify the .exe to bypass EA app which I shouldn't have to do.

  • Hi, I have the same problem, did you end up working it out? I'm thinking I wasted $29.95 :(

  • From the start... open the game thru the EA app, when it asks them for admin say yes or click yes. u dont need a password for admin

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    When I click Play on C&C from the EA app the following window pops up:

        This game requires permissions

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

    After clicking OK, the following window pops up:

        Failed to launch game

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

    I do not see an option to click "Yes", only OK and CLOSE.

    I am assuming you logged into Windows as an admin and that is when you entered your password (or used Windows Hello) and why it works for you. No application should force you to be logged in to Windows as an admin.
