SimCity (2013) will not start due to EA side.
(My game is in Japanese, so the translation of the message may not be correct)

OS: Windows 11 Professional
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
GPU: GeForce RTX3060 12GB
Memory: 64GB

When I start the game, the following dialog appears.


This game requires permissions

This game requires administrative privileges. Do you want to grant access and launch the game?


(Japanese Message)

このゲームには権限が必要です

このゲームには管理者権限が必要です。アクセスを許可してゲームを起動しますか?


After I select OK, the following dialog appears.


Failed to launch game

An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.


(Japanese Message)

ゲームを起動できませんでした

弊社側でエラーが発生したため、起動できませんでした。しばらくしてから、もう一度お試しください。


The UAC prompt does not appear.


Is this temporary?
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
