Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars - NOT LAUNCHING WINDOWS 8 x64

I have this same problem. I discussed about it with chat support with no luck. Support escalated problem to a specialized team.

Yah, just saw your forum. Let me know what they say!

Yeah but why uninstall it? What does that achieve in relation to the game working? could you offer more of an explanation to us noobs?

At a guess, there was a corrupted existing install. Removing and reinstalling can help ensure everything's as it should be.

Im wondering if c&c 3 is stil available on line because i cant log in. E A and origin is no help as usual.  if the new general support is set up as stupitly as tw3 i wont be bothering with it. I have unninstalled my old game i bought on disk that used to work bought a new game from orgin that used to work unninstalled it reinstalled it, still wont let me log into multiplayer wtf you doing ea. last good thing youve don is tw3 why are you fing it up?

Same problem here. The launcher brings up a login dialog box, which then tells me it can't connect to the EA servers. What a load of crap. I just want to play the game OFFLINE. I made sure EA Origins was in OFFLINE Mode, and it made no difference. No wonder EA was voted worst comapny in the world two years in a row.

I am aware that the game sometimes cant connect if using some form of hamachi network. what i had to do is open up the processes menu and close hamachi manually, but also check the system tray to make sure its not open still. then after it is closed you can try and log in online. the first loggin attempt wont work but the second should. hope this helps hamachi users.

1. I've tried to run in compatibility mode with Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

2. I've tried to Run as Administrator.

3. I've tried to run with "Disable Origin in Game for this game" option.

Do you have any fresh solution for Windows 10? I've got the following message:

"This application is not compatible with the installed operating system.

Please, update Windows 98SE, WIndows 2000 or later system."

What can I do to run!?

I recently got a new computer with Windows 10 on it - CC3 would not run due to "Fatal Error".  Ended up it was a driver issue and I installed a backdated driver from 6/11/14 which resolved the issue.  Yes, I say again, it resolved the issue.  I played the game for several days, only to have the computer automatically update the driver and cause the same error.  So I rolled back the driver again and had no trouble playing again until today.  Now I get a new bogus error that you described:

"This application is not compatible with the installed operating system.

Please, update Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or later system."

Like I said, I had this game running for a couple weeks, so this is bogus - what did the system change that now causes this to not work?  Anyone know?
