Re: TS3.exe file doesn't work?

Sims Medieval seems to have issue on Windows 8. Not sure that it runs. You might wanna check the medieval forum for that.

--------------

  • Is your game updated to 1.67 ? 
  • Do you use digital downloads or dvd version or a mix ?
  • When did you buy the base game ? Before or after september 2012 ?
  • Do you have any other oddities on your computer ?
  • What security software are you using ?

  • -Yes the game is running on 1.67 but wont open before or after I patched it

    -I use a digital copy of TS3 and a dvd copy of TSM(ill check the TSM forum if this isnt  the same issue/resolution)

    -Yes I believe i bought both before Sept 2012 actually, I bought Sims3 just before pets, and TSM right after?

    -The only major odditiy is my graphics driver is cutsom because low and behold AMD can't write utilty drivers for anything so Sager wrote me a hybrid one for the processor etc

    -Bit diffender, Spybot both freeware, other than that i run my own security analysis via cmd etc.

    BitDefender has a known conflict on Windows 8.

    Try turning that off.

  • Nope, same issue with TS3, although you did just improve my ping on League of Legends so thanks XD

    Could you uninstall it completely for testing purposes ? There were people before that said it only worked if they uninstalled it.

    Great to hear. If you want to put bitDefender back, you may need to turn off something special. Need to find out what that was, someone had that posted before.

    If you're fine without, all good.

    Could you please accept a solution so people know that this is solved and what the solution was.

    Thank you
