Re: TS4 PC Error 'DisplayName Field Missing From Registry' Since May 28th Patch

@millieslayed143  Please disable the antivirus, temporarily of course, and (try to) repair Sims 4.  As long as you don't do anything else at the same time, your computer should be safe.

    @millieslayed143  Did you disable or uninstall Comodo entirely, then repair again?  Sometimes these antivirus apps can be stubborn, and the only way to make sure yours isn't the problem is to get rid of it.  You can reinstall it later if this doesn't help.

  • I am having this same issue after updating the Sims 4 today. Here is my error report: b53d8fea-8f36-4969-abaf-3b318100fffa

  • Hey, a few days ago I tried to launch Sims 4. I got a pop up saying DisplayName field missing from registry. I canceled it to do it later but I can't launch the game since then. I've cleared cache, put the EA app in my exceptions folder on the Microsoft Defender, updated my drivers and everything else suggested on the posts. Everytime I go to launch the game, a few seconds pass and EA launcher shows up again as if I never clicked to start the game. My report ID is 11a8e9df-095c-4a7c-b545-c350a179d7be. Thank you
