C&C 3 & Kane's Wrath Fatal Error Windows 10

Good afternoon all,

My fiancees son has purchased C&C The Ultimate Collection for Origin on his Windows 10 machine and has not had any issuse with any of the games so far, apart from C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath expansion. Whenever he attempts to play either of these titles the game will not load up properly and he recieves the error: FATAL ERROR: Exception in Exception Handler. His laptop has Intel Iris graphics, I have tried various fixes, including backdating drivers for the graphics card, changing various compatability properties, all to no avail. I have Windows 8 on my laptop and run every game in the collection with no issues whatsoever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath were the games he was looking forward to playing the most in this collection as he has pretty much devoured most of the other titles!

Many thanks in advance!

    Sorry... the "backdating drivers" is the only possible solution we've found so far. It seems to be an issue in Intel's drivers, anyway. ☹️

    Many thanks for the reply, so what drivers would you reccomend I use? Obviously at the moment it is up to date.

    Someone reported it working with drivers from around/before June 2014. I never had the issue myself, so that's unfortunately all I know.

    Another thing people have said, which I know is often relevant, is to make sure the computer's power management is not running in any kind of power saving mode; it often messes up what applications can get out of 3D cards, and Windows seems to turn these settings way down on laptops. So find the system's power settings and make sure to set them to high performance.
