After i change my Origin to EA apps i can't play my Command and Conquer General Zero Hour. Please help.

Hi everyone, I have found a temp solution and I managed to launch the game. Use this YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aizf2P4HkwM1) Uninstall EA app2) Reinstall Origin 3) Change the date time of your computer to 13th of Feb , 20234) Launch Zero Hour - ignore the request to update to ea appThis worked but stuffs a lot of other things for my computer. As you can see a lot of people complaining. I have still requested refund and buying elsewhere. EA service is TERRIBLE

@nickylax Are you getting an error message, or what happens when you try to launch the game?

@EA_Illium I tried to launch General zero hours. it says "An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later."Its been a few days already.

Same here, I am not happy... ☹️

@scottygreer Have you tried running it under an administrator account (Not just run as administrator in your normal account)?

Yep, I'm also having the same issue. I can not even click the tiles in the EA App for command and conquer but I can for other games. Love how EA just disables by best games with the cross from Origin to EA app and then don't do anything about it regardless of how many complaints they have on the game.

Hi @juliusfernaldo @nickylax @scottygreer

Can you try running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7 as @d0nt0m66 mentioned?

Hi guys, thanks for attempting to help. Unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work. It has ''run this program in compatibility mode for windows 7'' greyed out, but it is ticked so I believe it has always been doing that. That being said, it is now saying ''missing file ''ssleay32.dll''?'
