Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour Crash(and burn)
Saturday, August 30, 2025 8/30/25 4:49:09 PM Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour. I have repaired and repaired and repaired, but I keep getting the same error after the "splash" screen. [DirectX Error] "Please make sure you have DirectX 8.1 or Higher installed. Also verify that your video card meets the Min. requirements."... I have checked: I have DirectX 12 installed, and have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Also: Please excuse my flagrant attempt to get my issue noticed a third time, because I have issued a "Report" twice now for this issue. This is not the first time I have had problems with Command & Conquer games, so please forgive my hesitation in believing they will address this problem quickly. Thank you "EA" for looking at it again this 3rd time (Because of this third, if not direct, request for this problem to be solved) Report code: f5b62003-b0d7-4efc-a98e-c208336631e2 Report code: 79e508d8-c362-4657-8cd5-8d6dba4404e7
Command and Conquer Rivals: Game progress loss
Hello guys! I really need your help! I reinstalled the app Command and Conquer Rivals, but my main account (#MpGgPpr3) is not popping out during the initial set up, only the second one is showing up (where my name is Mr.X). My main account was linked to [edit: email address removed]. I am 100% sure! Could you help me to recover it? Or give me email of EA branch who could help me with it? Thank you.
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. 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.
No online features - EA account is restricted
Hi, everyone. Everytime that I try to go online in Command and Conquer Remastered, I receive this message saying that my EA account is restricted from accessing any online features, as seen in the attachment. Already went through all EA Support procedures given by EA Help staff, with no luck until now. From 24 games in my EA library, this is the only one that is blocking me from playing online. No account bans (ever!), Windows 11 PC completely updated , as the drivers, no issues with my EA account regarding any other game, game uninstalled/reinstalled, as well the EA App. Any further help? Any suggestion would be appreciated.Can't purchase the ultimate collection from steam
I've attached my correspondence with steam. Basically, I can't purchase the game because it keeps failing to go through. In the end, steam points a finger at the publisher (after not helping at all or answering my questions), and claims that the issue is with EA. Is this true?
Red Alert 3 Bug and Version Problem
I bought the The Ultimate Collection to get RA3 from Origin, and my little brother just simply bought the RA3 himself from Origin too, we play together without any problem, but some recent update make things change. Now my RA3 become version1.13 automatically, even uninstall and install it again won't change anything, and with this my RA3's little loading page never display normally. Each time after I install the RA3 and first time open it, a window asking me to log into my EA account, even I had already open the EA APP and keep it log in, it's annoying but not big deal. And the worst is, since my RA3 become version 1.13, I could never play with my little brother again, the reason is that my little brother's RA3 is still version 1.12, and it even working without any problem and could play with others through it's version is not the latest. I'm really love RA3 and the time playing with my little brother, but I just can't solve the problem even I try my hardest, please, somebody help me.
