Missing games "Command and Conquer The Ultimate Collection – PC Origin"
There are 17 games in the Amazon download and I only see 9 games in EA. I don't see Command And Conquer 1, or 2, or Tiberian Sun for example. I attached a screenshot of the games that show up in EA. Please help me and thank you!
Why does the app force me to pay to play games I have paid for?
I hate EA. They killed off the second hand game market, got kids hooked into gambling, and now want me to pay for a subscription to acces the games I already bought? Are they legit or are they some sort of organised crime syndicate? I really hate EA, I only play games I bought way back from them. I will never again buy anything from EA! I also other game front ends, and they always give me access, to my games, that I paid for. So it appears either a scam, or misleading sales tactics. Either is "bad". Choose any other word to replace bad that will emphasis that it is really bad.
C&C Generals 2
Did you know EA had C&C Generals 2 ready for over 10 years now? I was in a closed beta testing group for this game, and I loved the game so much! It was the best RTS, imagine GLA in homemade copters. SO many generals to choose from. I played it everyday with my friend. The game was pay-per general model, but it was VERY good, more units then generals 1. I dont understand why they dident release it. The game was finished, EA just needed to put it out there, and it would earn alot of money. Still to this day im thinking about the game, even though it was over 10 years ago. If you guys dont believe its true, just check my screenshot. Would you buy C&C Generals 2 today? Even if it had payed battlepass or pay-per-general? The game is finished so they could release the game if they wanted. Show EA that it would be cool and write your comments on what you think.
Offline play.
When I purchased the cnc games I was Not informed internet access was mandatory to play any of these games campaigns, skirmish requires no internet online or other features that don’t require online access. This is EA security measures stopping these old games working correctly but they can just blame uses pc and keep the money well those with no connection to internet no longer have access to games they paid for. Most of these cnc games do not require internet connection. Iv followed ever path to try get original cnc working with zero success. Tiberian war/firestorm doesn’t work. Ut add a patch and it does st& , generals/zero hour require online access to start. Should have kept all my cd versions at least then I could call them my games All these downloads are not uses games even if you paid full price EA APP own them and we pay for that.!!!EA, please bring "Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection" to GOG.
Hello EA, I realize you're going through some serious business changes (or preparing to), but I wanted to bring this up sooner than later. EA hasn't released any "new" old games on GOG in probably 8 or more years, and I think many GOG users would like to see that change. "Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection" has over 85,000 votes on the GOG Dreamlist. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/command-conquer-the-ultimate-collection I realize that's not a billion dollar deal, but I wouldn't call it an "unworthy" revenue stream either. (There are a lot more EA games people want other than this, but I figured it might help to post a specific series (at least for now).) I have also suggested other GOG users politely post here to show support. To the moderator: please do your best to ensure this "bubbles up" the chain of command, as best you can. I do recognize there's only so much you can do. Thank you.
Command and Conquer: The Ultimate Collection on GOG
This message is for Electronic Arts - whoever it may concern. Please release Command and Conquer: The Ultimate Collection on GOG. I know many people who would purchase the games again, without DRM. You absolutely will make money by giving the players and community this option. I understand that piracy is an issue, but game preservation is highly important.
C&C games - "Failed to launch game" error
Greetings, EA support told me to post here as they have no fix currently for this issue nor any other troubleshooting steps to try. (Case #207569798). Also, via the "EA error reporter" (within the EA app) I submitted a report which has the report ID: "b5282740-5a98-41a4-aa8e-f605b90ce194". I'm using Windows 10 Home (22H2 OS Build 19045.5737), fully updated, and EA app v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c). On a local user Windows session, C&C3, C&C4 Tiberium Twilight and C&C Red Alert 3 will launch via EA app (ran as admin), but not: 1) C&C and The Covert Operations; 2) C&C Generals and Zero Hour; 3) C&C Red Alert; 4) C&C Red Alert 2; 5) C&C Renegade and; 6) C&C Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. Those six C&C games will all produce the error in the EA app: "Failed to launch game. An error occurred on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." when attempted to be launched (as described above). These nine C&C games will launch without any problem from the EA app on the admin session. Launching straight C&C95.exe from C&C and The Covert Operation install folder on local user session, with or without admin rights, will run the game just fine in both cases, but the EA app can't launch it! EA support confirmed games should run when launched from EA app on non-admin Windows session. sfc /scannow and dism /online cleanup-image /scanhealth scans have been run. EA app cache was reset. EA app was reinstalled (CCleaner + manually deleted EA related folders in ...\AppData\local, locallow and roaming). All Microsoft Visual C++ versions are up-to-date and were repaired. Graphic driver is up-to-date. Booting with all non-Windows services disabled didn't allow games to boot. Games were repaired. Games were reinstalled (CCleaner + del local, locallow, roaming...). Both the games and EA app directories have all permissions on the local user Windows session (right-click folder > Properties > Security tab > Advanced > Permissions). Creating a new local user account on the PC and launching these six C&C games via the EA app (ran as admin) also produces the error. Fully disabling UAC on admin session sets the UAC on local user Windows session to level 3 ("Always notify me (and do not dim my desktop) when:"). Games received new entitlement. EA support said the "Failed to launch game" issue would be caused when "something in the player PC conflicts with EA app" and "services" could also be the cause. If so, what "services" needs to be running for C&C and The Covert Operations to launch? EDIT (~April 23rd 2025): I hypothesized that some of EA app's processes which are running on the admin session would not be running on the local user session and further tested which processes are running on both sessions when launching C&C and The Covert Operations and identified some differences. Of note, on local user session, launching C&C and The Covert Operations from the EA app (ran as admin) have EABackgroundService.exe launching EAGEP.exe, but that latter process fails to launch EADesktop.exe*32 as sub-process (while it succeeds on admin session) and then EAGEP.exe simply shuts down a few seconds after being launched. (Please see picture below). Also on local user session, when the EA app is running, it is missing one EACefSubProcess.exe (also see the picture below). It seems to me that the issue could lie with the EA app and not the games themselves (since the games launch fine on the admin session). EDIT (June 1st 2025): I updated the EA app today, from version v13.437.0.5950 (94974-56e58c512c) to v13.477.0.5990 (96992-a9584648e1), but the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: a110da93-add5-4572-99fd-fdba9ccd474a. EDIT (July 27th 2025): I updated the EA app again today. It's now version 13.515.0.6028 (99438-3b801146c1) and the issue still persists. I submitted a new EA app error report with the ID: 945927f8-124a-4656-8c81-c9b78a771516. EDIT (October 3rd 2025): I updated the EA app again today to version 13.566.0.6079 (102087-8ff6ble0658) and the issue is still present. I submitted another EA app report with the ID: 44963cd9-efea-45ed-99f3-44eb63da1b54. No website admin posting in 6 months since OP... EDIT (October 24th 2025): Updated EA app to 13.579.0.6092 (102627-703106f7ff). Issue is still present... Report ID: d74ac476-9c30-461d-87d7-e9118fd6a7a0. Any help to get those games running on non-admin Windows session via the EA app will be much appreciated! Mike [CM Edit - Adding information from OP's separate solution thread] C&C4 - General system error - FIXED When launching C&C4 Tiberium Twilight via the EA app on local user session with EA app ran as admin, the game asks to enter the EA account login credentials. Entering the EA account credentials in the C&C4 login screen and trying to login gives the error message "General system error". (Please see the picture below). On an admin session, launching C&C4 via the EA app and entering the credentials succeeded and the game was able to launch properly. Afterwards on local user session, launching the EA app as admin and from it launching C&C4 had the process of login succeed this time. My intuition tells me that the admin session wrote the files associated with the login process and then the local user session could use them.
