Workaround: C&C Remastered - Failed to launch, start as administrator
Here is a work around if your C&C Remsastered won't launch on PC using EA Desktop (including xbox gold pass or regular EA desktop).
If the game fails to launch, prompting to launch in administrator mode then does nothing:
Option 1:
- Sign out of EA desktop.
- Open task manager and end the following tasks:
- EABackgroundService.exe
- EADesktop.exe
- EAGEP.exe
- EALocalHostSvc.exe
- Open EA Desktop and sign back in.
Option 2:
Sign out of EA desktop.
Open notepad, copy and paste this:
taskkill /IM EABackgroundService.exe /F
taskkill /IM EADesktop.exe /F
taskkill /IM EAGEP.exe /F
taskkill /IM EALocalHostSvc.exe /F
Save to your desktop as .bat with any filename you want, example I use "ea task end.bat"
Right click -> run as administrator. This will kill the tasks automatically without you having to go one by one.
The game will now open.
incase someone comes upon this thread, go into Properties of your Game in the EA-App and add -NOSPLASHPRELOAD
Idk what it does i have it from a Steamfix for this game and it also works in the EA-App. I can start the game finally now.
