Ever since steam updated my Sims 4 installation yesterday I have been unable to load the game, and instead get the above error message. I have tried to follow all the things other people have done, including doing a clean windows install on my laptop, with nothing else on it at all, and just reinstalled steam and then Sims and the EA app, and still the same result. I tried raising a ticket in the EA app, but nobody ever responded to it 😠
This is the same thing for me. As soon as I did the update it can no longer launch. My "controlled folder access" is off - that has no effect. I cannot launch in offline mode either. Updated all my drivers, my OS etc. Cleared EA Cache. Repaired Game. Nothing. I see this was an issue a few years ago so what's the current resolution? I tried the old instructions and that did not work either.
Hi, m8. After few days of battling this problem, I finally managed to get Battlefield 2042 to launch properly by following Steeve_BF second solution... Which is to perform a clean installation of an older Nvidia Game Ready Driver 577.0... (If you have an Nvidia Graphics Card) So, to anyone facing a similar issue with Battlefield 2042 for example, I strongly recommend that you give this a go... NVIDIA PLEASE... ;'( XD
