Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection My Main Concern

Back in 2012, I purchased this game in subject line. Years after the purchased, I rarely got in touch with my EA account even the software update during the transition of newest EA App from old EA Origin. At first, I was able to play all versions of Command & Conquer collections that includes music soundtrack compilation until I recently discovered that the soundtrack is no longer in my library section and fortunately I still have all game versions. 

I contacted the support via chat and addressed my concern. Good news is the support agent can see the music content in his end but in my library's end is not visible so I was advised to do troubleshooting such as clearing cache but still no luck. I know most of you may not be a big deal for losing small content but I need a resolution to retireve what I legally purchased. I've seen this concern already addressed years ago in this forum but it needs to be resolved. Please advised.

  • @Sultadashin The whole Ultimate Collection bonus material item indeed doesn't show up on the EA app; I noticed that on my own account too. I heard there were licensing reasons involved, when it came to the music.

    I believe it's still somehow possible to download the old Origin client, so you could do that and and see if you can still access it through that.

    Hi again Nyerguards,

    Forgive for taking a while not replying back. I completely understand that could be either copyright or licensing reason but still doesn't make sense that we no longer have access to music legally. 

    Anyway, how am I able to download legacy Origin client in order to retain what I legally purchased? Any link site? 
    Thanks in advance.

    ##UPDATE##

    So I went to Uptodown site to download legacy platform...
    https://origin.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions#:~:text=Download%20previous%20versions%20of%20Origin,get%20the%20version%20you%20need.

    But here's a catch up. Although it was successfully downloaded Origin App, the issue is there was a pop-up window prompting to switch to EA App as new platform that I couldn't get rid of it and forcing me to switch to new version at some point. Thankfully there was another link to block this pop-up notification...

    After carefully following these procedures, I was able to retrieve bonus content that includes soundtracks. I really appreciate your tips! I should subscribe you if you have other channels.

    @Sultadashin heh, given how much of my life I've spent on C&C, my online presence is actually quite limited. I mostly just help people and make small tools to dig into sprites and other file formats of old games. Most of what I do is limited to just the first C&C, too.

    The sentiment is appreciated, but there's not much to subscribe to, except maybe a YouTube channel I only use to upload the occasional C&C1 experiment or rare video.
