Hi @Retsushi, 

It sounds like the Windows User Access Control kicked in and needed your permission in order to launch or install the game.

Probably, but since I use Windows as an administrator, why is that?

If I click YES, CMD.exe want to modify a file in my C User  Appdata Temp and file JUN85AC.tmp.bat

After that the game start

@Retsushi 

This happens every time you're launching the game?

Only happen with this game. All others work as expected

Got it, thanks! When you have the chance can you submit this as a Bug Report over at the EA Desktop board?

I think I already did when I encoutererd it.

Will do it again.

Also I think case 78239853 have been opened. I had help from Twitter, but it didn't work in the end.

I have EA Beta. I downloaded Command and Conquer Remastered edition. When I try to start the game on Xbox Game pass PC

or EA Beta app it gives me the same message.

"Hold up, you need permission.

This game requires administrator privileges to launch."

I click ok and give permission, it acts like its loading for a second and just stops. I tried restarting both xbox game pass and ea beta

and made sure they were closed in task manager and all that and reopening them and still no luck 

When it asks for permission it references my temp folder.I was thinking it might be possible when it downloaded maybe it just put them in

the wrong directory? I have included a picture of what I'm talking about. I have an up to date computer with all updated drivers so there should be no reason why this is doing this. All other NON EA games are playing perfectly fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.
