Why won't Sim City launch?
Everytime I try to launch Sim City 2014 version, I get a message that the problem is on your end. When will this be resolved?

Same Issue here:
SimCity (2013) Complete Edition
Warning Message: This game requires permissions
This game requires administrative privileges. Do you want to grant access and launch the game?
OK
Error Message: Failed to launch game
An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.
OK
Already tried all the troubleshooting steps including:
- Rebooting and Restarting app
- Repairing Game files
- Updating Drivers and Windows
- Uninstalling and reinstalling game
- Clearing EA App Cache
- Uninstalling and reinstalling EA App
- Clearing registry and reinstalling both
Nothing works. If I recall correctly, some of the older games required EA Origin in order to activate so clearly some of these older games have not been properly updated to support the new EA App without Origin running in the background. I even tried installing on a different PC and the issue persisted.
laurarose1991's Solution did not work for me. It resolved the "This game requires permissions" but did not resolve the "Failed to launch game" dialog.
