Command & Conquer Remastered - Crash
Ok, I've been playing Command & Conquer Remastered quite happily for a couple of months now.
Played it last night, however, when I went to play it today, I now get a Petroglyph Crash Report, which then sends a dump file.
I'm using the EA Desktop App.
From the EA Desktop app, I click Play, click OK for the "Hold up, this game needs permissions" message.
The window comes up for Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer Red Alert (which is what I always play).
I click Red Alert and then after a few seconds, the Petroglyph Crash Report window appears.
What I have tried:
- Restarting Windows 10
- Shutting down completely and then logging back in and going through the process
- Doing a Repair
- Doing a complete reinstall of Command & Conquer AND the EA Desktop app
- Checking firewall settings
- Logging in as another user with a new profile. Interestingly, this option causes an error, which EA says is at their end
- Setting compatibility mode
- Checking EventViewer (which suggests that ClientLauncherG.exe and ucrtbase.dll being the problem)
- With the above in mind, I ran a disk check, and also sfc /scannow - no difference
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the Microsoft VC++ apps
As I've mentioned, last night it was working fine.
I haven't installed anything, I haven't updated anything - it just stopped working.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
D
Unfortunately I am now in the middle of downloading the dame again and cannot test this out. A user in another forum has suggested this and some others have confirmed it will work, wish I hadn't uninstalled it now if this was an easy workaround.
"From the EA App click top left corner / Settings / Application tab / Disable In-game overlay and Notifications
I have a feeling it's the overlay that's deaded."
