I ALREADY CLEARED MY ORIGIN CACHE AND UNINSTALLED ORIGIN!!!
i know that will be the number one thing to "solve" the issue. i already did that.
So, the problem:
I was having issues with Spore on Steam launching so i decided i would try Origin again (i dont use it for Spore bc of past issues, and FYI the registered copy i own on Origin is NOT the Steam copy, its a whole separate purchase and reg code!). So i installed Spore on Origin along with C&C, but while installing the base game Origin was running super slow and eventually it looked stuck. the C&C download ended due to an error. This is when i cleared my cache for Origin and while it is running better after restart, i now just cannot install C&C at all! the download button does nothing when clicked. Additionally, i decided i would just start over and uninstall Spore too but it also wont work! i click uninstall and nothing happens. I decided to launch the game, and even that doesnt work. i uninstalled the Origin client completely but nothing changed.
I feel like every time i try to play this game something stops me lol. I am still going to work on getting the Steam one to play but i was hoping Origin would be more reliable (even tho i refused to use it in the past because it wasnt. hoped things changed) so please help me find a solution.
