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

Just bought this game today and I can't start it. I get the splash screen and the the screen go black and 2 seconds later it closes without any warnings or errors, then after like 10 seconds, the splash screen dissapears and origin pops back up.

Tried all available solutions I could google, but nothing helps....

Why are EA selling games that clearly dont work on modern day pc's AND offer no solutions that works??

I want my money back....

  • Alreeady tried this solution, and it does not help anything.

    (and maybe I've written in the wrong thread, because my OS is Win 10 Pro x64)

  • May have found a solution for at least Win 10 users that uses AMD graphic cards, (might work on win 8 too, but I dont know for sure)

    Fix Found for people with AMD graphics card. I searched and Searched and Searched for fixes just like yourselves and then came across this which worked for fixing my own problem with the Exception in the Exception Handler error. Go to This link :~ http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/RSAE-18.1.1-Alpha-Release-Notes.aspx

    Basically Most up to date drivers for AMD where the 17.12.1/17.12.2(Optional) Drivers. They made a mistake with thier driver release which prevented some DX9 games from playing on their drivers. They have Released an Alpha Version of 18.1.1 which worked Spectacularily for me. as i will quote the following from the page itself:~ "This early access driver is being provided for users who have had issues launching a small number of DirectX 9 based games."

    Found on the games steam forum.

    Worked for me

  • it will only work with certain amounts of memory. i had 18 gigabytes but games thought i had only 2 gigabytes. that is likely why it worked. i remove that chip because it caused issued with starcraft 2. i have no idea how to recreate those conditions but the problem is clearly memory related.
