I have Xbox game pass and the EA app so I downloaded the C&C Remastered Ultimate Collection, and I can download and play any of the other games from there with no issues except Generals. When I try and download and play it, I get a message that it needs admin approval which I hit Ok to which then a pop occurs of the game wanting to make changes to my hard drive which I allow, from there it will act like it wants to load but then crashes with a Direct X error which makes no sense cause I have the latest DirectX and none of the other games throw that and then after I cancel that error though it says the game crashed and needs to Repair itself.  Im not sure what it is about this game that is giving so many issues and I would love to play it for Nostalgia as well as there are some really cool MODS out here for it as well. Ive tried researching and reading up on this and can't find any solutions so I really hope you all can

  • @cheestwheat5199 Are you able to start C&C 3 as well? I'm facing the same problem with Generals.
    For C&C 3, the game wont start at all, and there are no warnings or pop-up's.

    I am beyond that, when the program does come up, I and get into a prior save but it doesn't obey the mouse.

  • i encountered this error myself and over the course of a couple of days the only thing I found that worked was Downloads: GenPatcher - Legionnaire Generals. It basically patches the game for you. This is after I asked EA for help and did numerous other things. (I don't think EA cares, I didn't pay the customer service micro transaction)
