I have EA Beta. I downloaded Command and Conquer Remastered edition. When I try to start the game on Xbox Game pass PC
or EA Beta app it gives me the same message.
"Hold up, you need permission.
This game requires administrator privileges to launch."
I click ok and give permission, it acts like its loading for a second and just stops. I tried restarting both xbox game pass and ea beta
and made sure they were closed in task manager and all that and reopening them and still no luck
When it asks for permission it references my temp folder.I was thinking it might be possible when it downloaded maybe it just put them in
the wrong directory? I have included a picture of what I'm talking about. I have an up to date computer with all updated drivers so there should be no reason why this is doing this. All other NON EA games are playing perfectly fine.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a similar issue with trying to launch pyre, every time it tells me to reinstall the game and every time I do the problem is still there.

Same here. CnC is not launching on either Xbox or Ea Desktop. Needs admin permission or something.

But then I ran in to a problem with ea not lunching no more so iam in the process of fixing that but I think we shud not have to go through all of these ea really need to step up and fix there programming

Same for me with Pyre. I tried running the game as an admin and the EA Desktop app as well, but nothing is working. The same thing as OP posted happens time after time.

They still didn't find fix this. I think it might have something to do on how game behave under Origins vs Desktop

Same situation, C&C just don't wanna launch.
Please EA solve this problem!

The more people talk about the issue the best chance we have that EA fix this bug.
