Command and Conquer will not launch

So I have installed Command and Comquer Generals Zero Hour through Origin and whenever I launch the game it will not work. What occurs is that after I click play a screen pops up to let me select between the generals game or the zero hour version of it. I can click on either but noting will occur any further. I just get stuck at that screen. Please help.

  • For me I was able to get it to work by clicking on the Origin Client program and on the top left of the screen there is a subtitle that says "Origin" . Left click on that, and then a menu drops down where you will need to left click on the tab which says "Application Settings" then left click on tab that says "Origin in Game".  Make sure that the box is "Unchecked" where it says "Enable Origin in Game".  then try and restart your game. It might work for you as it did for me.  Hopefully this works for you.

    LoL.... I had this box unchecked already since a long time ago, and I'm still experiencing the issue!!!!! None of the Generals is working.

    I'm on Windows 8.1 64 bit. C&C the Ultimate Collection (FYI C&C Tiberium Wars is working, both vanilla and expansion).

    My Generals used to work before, but somehow now I can't play it


    The boxes on the individual games are the other way around, though. Those are to disable Origin In Game, so if you do it per-game, you need to check it.

    I suggest you check out the sticky thread on how to run the older games on Win8. It gives a few more possible solutions.
