Re: Administrator privileges prompted in an administrator account

@Lucia_Stardust Didn't work, still asking for admin privileges and then saying that there was a problem on EA's end.

  • @RenoVegaThe other common issue is that it seems you need to log in to Windows with an actual Administrator account and NOT a standard user. The game launch seems to fail with that same error when the app tries to obtain elevated privileges on a standard user account.

    Unfortunately none of these solutions have worked for me, but gave me hope for a second so I do appreciate that. It's been 2 years and I still can't play a game I bought over a decade ago. I can't even submit an EA support chat as a required dropdown to list the system we're having the issue on doesn't work. I responded to my 10th email ticket about this issue, and all they're asking for at this point after uninstalling everything multiple times is my email address and if I have access to the email I'm replying to them on. The incompetence and neglect is unreal. Who's ready for a class action lawsuit??? Please message me. Let's do it. After numerous posts and support tickets over the years going nowhere I'm so done. 

  • I've been trying to get this exact same problem fixed for MONTHS with NO success, and I've had enough -- I'm in on the class-action lawsuit!  Which lawyer do you have in mind?
