administrator privileges
Mass effect will not run as it says I need administrator privileges. I am the only user and as such have administrator privileges. I have tried running the app (via right click) with administrator privileges but the same thing occurs. If I click 'ok' after being told I need administrator privileges, I'm asked if it's ok to change windows. I select yes. Then a cmd window opens and closes after a short delay and I'm back to the main EA Desktop page.
I am about to try Dragon Age Inquisition and see what happens.
I am accessing EA Desktop via Microsoft Gamepass. Why don't you just let the games run via the gamepass app. Microsoft have a much better idea on how to launch games than you do.
I just tried a new idea. I went to the ea launcher location and set it to compatibility with administrator privilege's.
Then I tried it again. It actually opened but then once it opened it ran into the error that you see attached.
I hear the person saying: this will install red alert and it crashes.
Update: It worked!!! 🙂 I have played 4 missions. WOOT!!!
So, the above set of operations seemed to fix it.
Setting "Ealauncher" in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop or where you have the EA desktop to Administrator authentication in compatibility.
