Just purchased command and conquer ultimate collection. does not launch.

Very disappointed in EA. for taking money for faulty products. then offering fixes that do not work. have tried them all. the problem according to windows is a missing file "ssleay32.dll".

How hard could it possibly be for EA to patch this?

  • @Elioborza The collection contains a lot of games, spanning quite some different generations of computers, meaning they all have their own specific bugs and quirks. So, exactly which one(s) are you having that issue with?
  • Generals / zero hour/ red alert yurys . the app tells me the was a problem on EA's end try again later.

    I have tried all recommended fixes i.e. uninstall reinstall, repair option in app however problem persists.

  • I was successfully playing C&C and The Covert Operations until yesterday on a W11 Home laptop.

    Opened the EA App today and it wouldn't let me play without applying an update. Now I get an error on game launch as follows:

    Error:

    The instruction at 66df70c4 referenced memory at 00000008

    The memory could not be written.

    Click on OK to terminate the application.

    The EA App then tries to repair the game, then it tries to launch again and then fails with the same error just a different code.

    Any help appreciated.

  • IF ZEro hour is not loading ? then there is simple fix.

    in my case

    I installed Steam collection and so i had to find my Steam files and delete 

    it was found here  >>> in my Steam files..

    D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Generals - Zero Hour

    find the file for Zero hour and Generals folders and delete >>>>    dgbhelp.dll  . 

    that works,
