Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection - Stopped Working

★★★ Newbie

Hi all,

    I've been playing C&C Generals and Zero Hour (RA and RA2 also) for a few months. The other day, Windows 8 updates and now I can't get it to start. The Origin program opens, slowly, and the selection pop-up screen comes up, but when you click on C&C Generals, or Zero Hour, one of two things happens. Either that screen closes and nothing else happens, or nothing happens at all. It did start once but my speakers quit working until I closed to program. Since then I haven't been able to get it to work at all. I've tried deleting the Origin cache files and that seems to allow the software to believe that it can start the game, but then...nothing happens.

Machine: Toshiba Qosmio X75, Intel i-7 3630, NVidia GeForce GTX670, Latest update of Windows 8.

 

Any help out there?

Given the fact Answer HQ is not meant as an EA support forum but as a "users helping each other" forum, what you've been doing 'all evening' was completely useless.

Well since Origin bug reporter doesn't work I'm kind of out of ideas.

I believe it was mentioned that you can open the game's options in Origin and disable the fact it uses Origin for running the game. You could try that.
