C&C games will not launch in EA App

I did not do anything special but this is how it worked in my case:

1. When this endless "preparing" pop-up shows, I had a second icon of the "EA Play Software" poppin up on my task-bar. This one had a dialogue box asking for admin permissions (not the usual windows one).
2. Klicked it, then it showed me a screen to select either zero-hour or normal generals (in my case).

Maybe y'all overlook that? No offense meant but to me it worked without any tweaks, I did however clear the EA-App cache.

Hi,

Never had an issue with Generals or Generals Zero hour, those work fine.  The issue is with C&C3 and C&C3 Kane's Wrath, which still do not work.

im having this issue even now clearign cache does nothing i just bought the game if your gonna list games on your platform they need to work imj putting through a refund

Having this same issue, nothing suggested is helping... Any other ideas or EA want to actually fix their horrible launcher?

I tried today and I am now able to launch Kane's Wrath.

I have make it work.

but not sure which action resolved.

1- I have download steam and linked my steam account with ea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvQEJcqRNYw

2 - I have download gen patcher GenPatcher 2.07f. i have opened it and applied all patches

3-  Then i have install game ranger

4 now i am able to play with game ranger and the ea app is not lunching

Found a fix.

When I launched C&C, my monitor's resolution would resize to 900x800, and the application wouldn't open. I found a workaround. If I launched the exe outside of EA, by itself - wherever you have the game (found in properties - open folder). When it launched, I changed the resolution scale to match my monitor, saved the settings, closed the game, and relaunched it through EA. It worked. It seems like the game kept trying to launch with the base setting, and the application doesn't like it. This could correctly be done by changing settings through .ini files as well.
