The Sims 2 Ultimate won't launch on EA App
Ever since I was forced to switch to the EA App on March 1st I haven't been able to get The Sims 2 Ultimate Edition to launch. It starts to launch then errors with a message that says "Your game failed to launch. An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later." I've been getting the same error every time I try since having to switch. I have run a repair several times, have checked that Graphics Rules Maker is set right, and have installed the 4GB patch, all remedies I've seen mentioned as helping others. Can someone please help me with what else to try?
So I have finally managed to get The Sims 2 Ultimate working after trying the compatibility check fix mentioned in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-The-Sims-Games/Sims-2-Not-Launching-EA-Play/td-p/12358137 . Running the Troubleshoot Compatibility from the desktop icon and setting it to use Windows Vista service pack 2 settings has gotten it to where I can launch the game finally. Still have to test if old game files will work, but the load issue is fixed now at least it seems.
