    hi, know this is a bit old but, but i had same porblem as you.

    i got it working by right clicking on the game in origin libary on hitting: 'Game properties' and then mark:' Disable origin in game for this game'

    On windows 8.1    i have only tried Red Alert 2 so far <3


    When exactly did you disable origin? Before you down loaded the game or after?

    Um... obviously that only applies to the Origin version of the game, from the Ultimate Collection pack.

    Mine wont work either except when I click run it says log in as administrator so I do, then it doesn't even start up. None of the patches work, any help?
