Update: Contacted EA Support in regards to this issue and told them my work around and I got the same “copy and paste” email as above blaming it on resources the guy didn’t obviously read my email properly. So Im going to modify the Info.plist myself and if it works I will upload the modified Info.plist somewhere so when you hit the RA3 icon it will execute CNCRA3-launcher instead of RA3.exe thus loading the game instead of getting errors

I am having the sam4 issue on a current 24" oMac with ATI graphics and 10.5.7. I was having the same failure to launch but magocally launching from within the package, as suggested above, works. It's crazy to me that EA puts out something this fickle.;

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok open up the disk off of your desktop and launch the aplication from the folder from the CD not your hard drive. Once you do this you will see the star with a 3 in the middle but in gray once that is open just wait and the game works. YESSSSSSSSS finally i can play it

I’m not sure what exactly I did, but I updated to OS X 10.5.7 last night, and RA3 started working again. I’m not sure if it was the update as I have directly launched it in weeks.

Nice, CNCRA3-launcher worked!

When I contacted EA, they gave me the same form letter with the resources, which I told them doesn’t work. Then they told me I don’t meet min reqs. I asked the which ones I don’t meet, which they replied to “Run Software Update and repair disk permissions”.

At least there is a work around which EA gets their act together.

Please do post the plist when you get it working.
