C&C Kanes Wrath won't Launch after Win10


Best Answer ShieldAxer, 01 August 2015 - 01:10 PM

SOLUTION:

 

Somehow I solved it myself. After hours of thinking I came to an option I didnt do before: Uninstall the C&C Online Launcher, and THEN download a fresh copy of both games. And there I go: It works now. I don't know why, but both games now start perfectly via steam. I didnt test the launcher yet, but I will later.

 

So if you have the same problem as me: Uninstall the Launcher, Uninstall the Games, and then do a fresh reinstall.

Im sorry that the text is highlighted in black, but I just copied it from my post in the Steam forums. Someone suggested to post my problem here because of the active community.

 

 

I installed the windows 10 upgrade on my PC, and to this point everything was fine. But then I wanted to play a round of CnC, and the game wont launch.

When I start it via Steam, you just see the starting screen, and after about 20seconds it vanishes with the icon in my icon bar. I also look via task manager if the program starts, but at no point it uses any CPU. It just wont launch.

When I start it via .exe (while Im logged in in steam), the game starts, goes to a black screen, and then sends me back to desktop with the message "FATAL ERROR: exception in exception handler". I also googled that:
My tries to fix this: I reinstalled a DirectX pack from June 2010 like it was recommended in this thread: http://answers.ea.co...er/td-p/4460184

I also reinstalled the game several times. But it wont work.

Then I made the following recognation: Kane's Wrath didnt work yesterday evening. But Tiberium wars did! Then I redownloaded both games today. And now the same error occurs for Tiberium Wars. 

I just know what my biggest fault was: Installing this piece of sh*t what comes with the name "Windumb 10"! I just hope you guys have an idea how to get my game to work. My google skills reached their limit. And the reason I bought it on steam was, I wanted to play without big efforts.

For the people who will ask for my specs (I will post them if necessary): Command & Conquer 3 + Kanes Wrath worked fine till the upgrade to windows 10. I also updated my drivers for my graphics card and my Intel Chipset. 

 

What I want to add:

-I use the Steam Version for both games. 

-I get the error when I want to start the Game via .exe or via C&C Online Launcher. When I start it via Steam, it online shows the loading screen and then vanishes.

-I use the new Windows 10.

-My Error Log File:

Upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 today.  The game runs fine for me. Only the C&C Online launcher does not work anymore.

When I run the game without the Launcher I am getting the "Could not connect to backend server " message like most of us get.

 

 

*SOLVED :  Run the C&C online launcher with " Run as administrator" and the game launches via the launcher and I could get on the server.

While I am not able to offer you any helpful advice about it at this stage, I can tell you that plenty of people have C&C3 running successfully on Windows 10.
