Can't start It Takes Two
I bought this game on Steam, and now I can't open it. Every single time I press play, I get a notification that "Origin has encountered a serious problem and must close". This happens each time I try to start it. I have never successfully opened this game before, so I don't have any experience in what the game should look like. Here are the things that I have done to fix the problem with no solution:
-Start from Origin
-Start from EA games launcher
-Reinstall Steam
-Reinstall Origin
-Reinstall EA games launcher
-Reinstall It Takes Two
-Verify game on Steam
-Repair on Origin
-Repair on EA games launcher
-Run Steam as Administrator
-Run Origin as Administrator
-Run EA games launcher as Administrator
-Completely delete any origin related files and let Steam reinstall it through attempting to play It Takes Two
-Update NVIDIA drivers
-Update computer drivers through device manager
-Turned off Norton antivirus and Windows Defender
-Update DirectX
-Cleared cache on Steam
-Cleared cache on Origin
-Cleared cache on EA games launcher
-Restarted computer (performed this step after each of the aforementioned steps)
I just want to be able to play this game. I can't even refund it since I've spent about 6 hours trying to get this to work and steam counts that towards the 2 hour limit. I feel like I've done everything short of wiping my computer completely and starting from scratch. My computer can run the game, as it easily surpasses the game's recommended specs. I can't think of anything else to do and I'm pretty frustrated at this point. I didn't even know that this game required origin to play, since I bought it through steam, so it really sucks that origin is the one that is preventing me from playing.
I am referring to the EA games beta launcher. I know that it was in beta, but I figured that somehow it might work if steam or origin wasn’t working.
I got it fixed though, although I don’t really understand how it works. I have to run both steam and origin in compatibility mode (not running as administrator for some reason as that brings the problem back). I guess I have to run my apps like this until I finish the game and then change it back. Hopefully some future update will fix this.
