[EAC] - "Launch error: The requested operation requires elevation". Can't launch game.

[Piel D'Miel]

I just came back after four days and I can't play Hell Let Loose.
I thought this was a EAC specific problem but no, other games that have EAC launch and play fine.
I need help.

Things i've tried:
-Verified game cache
-Uninstalled and installed game
-Restarted PC

Running the HLL exes did nothing, but running steam as admin did work. Thanks for the answer :)

Running Steam and HLL as administrator did not solve the problem for me. Anybody have any other suggestions?

I'm having the same issue. The following has been attempted :

Verified game files
Set Steam et al to run as admin
Uninstalled and reinstall of HLL - as admin
Uninstalled and reinstall of EAC - as admin
Changed admin permissions

I've made contact with EAC but yet to hear back - 3-14 days just to get a response to the intial contact is really not cool

EDIT I just experimented with running HLL-Win64-Shipping.exe as admin, it worked, was able to connect and play, thanks 尺乇ㄥ卂乂 we need to get this pinned

Tried it again several times, finally got it to work by running both as admin. I'd already tried that without success; don't know why it started working.
