@FiTaLipz Hey, are you playing the disc version of the game, on a modern version of Windows? If so i don't think this will work. 

As an alternative you can try redeeming the code for the game on Origin, and try to play the digital version instead.

Thanks, please let us know if this helps.

I'm buying this game 3 years ago and i'm play it on Window 10 it digital version not retail version

[EA_David]

Thanks for the extra info. Is it the Steam or Origin version? If you try running the game in Windows XP compatibility mode does this have any effect?

[FiTaLipz]

Mine is Origin version and i'm already try Windows XP compatibility mode but it still not working btw i have "AnalysisLog"  but i can't upload in here it said it unsupport 

[EA_David]

Can you try starting both Origin and the game as an administrator? What anti-virus software are you using?

Can you try temporarily disabling it and try to launch again?

Cheer. 

[FiTaLipz]

I'm not using any anti virus software and i'm try to run both game and origin as an administrator still not working same code 8016

maybe it have something to do with " securom "?

[EA_David]

Yep it's an old Securom error message, but it shouldn't be affecting the Origin version. Did you have a pre-Origin version installed in the past? 

Can you launch the ra3ep1.exe itself from within Windows, does that change anything? You can find this by searching for the content in your Origin Games folder. 

[FiTaLipz]

Sorry i don't understand what  you mean "pre-origin" btw i buy this game from "humble bundle" [if my memory serves me right] and register it on origin and i can play it with out problem in that time i'm still use Window 7

[EA_David]

Thanks for the extra info. The game was purchasable before Origin was available, and I wanted to be sure that there wasn't a chance that an older version was available. 

If you got the game in the Humble Bundle this won't be a factor. This is some useful info and can help stop from going down a certain path. 

Back onto trying to resolve this, can you try a Clean Boot next? https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Can I ask what motherboard you use? This issue can manifest on some boards that don't have their BIOS updated. 

If you need to gather system info you can do so using the dxdiag tool: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/
