Can’t launch my game They Are Billions via EA App

YUP been a gamer since the 80's i can testify to that! theyd ont give a **bleep** about supporting ANY of their products...that said, check your system logs for a .net4 error when launching the game. That appears to be issue for me so hope that leads to fix!
