Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars - NOT LAUNCHING WINDOWS 8 x64

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

Hello

 

Just bought the CnC collection yesterday, and every game works but one of my favorites, CnC TW 3.

 

It simply will not launch, whether I tried using a crack, launching it from the exe, or any other possible way in compatibility mode (Ran as administrator and have UAC off) it simply wont start up the launcher nor the game. Other games, such as Generals launches perfectly with showing the options of which game I choose to play.

 

I have also reinstalled this game in the default origin spot and chose a new slot, and then another slot on another hard drive. It will not launch.

 

Any help will be great! Thank you in advance!

 

Also, fixed the launcher not showing up using the Launcher fixes on the forums found AT (http://www.commandandconquer.com/for...ate-collectionbut the games still do not start up.

I have this same problem. I discussed about it with chat support with no luck. Support escalated problem to a specialized team.

Yeah but why uninstall it? What does that achieve in relation to the game working? could you offer more of an explanation to us noobs?

At a guess, there was a corrupted existing install. Removing and reinstalling can help ensure everything's as it should be.

Same problem here. The launcher brings up a login dialog box, which then tells me it can't connect to the EA servers. What a load of crap. I just want to play the game OFFLINE. I made sure EA Origins was in OFFLINE Mode, and it made no difference. No wonder EA was voted worst comapny in the world two years in a row.

I am aware that the game sometimes cant connect if using some form of hamachi network. what i had to do is open up the processes menu and close hamachi manually, but also check the system tray to make sure its not open still. then after it is closed you can try and log in online. the first loggin attempt wont work but the second should. hope this helps hamachi users.

1. I've tried to run in compatibility mode with Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

2. I've tried to Run as Administrator.

3. I've tried to run with "Disable Origin in Game for this game" option.

 

Do you have any fresh solution for Windows 10? I've got the following message:

 

"This application is not compatible with the installed operating system.

Please, update Windows 98SE, WIndows 2000 or later system."

 

What can I do to run!?
