CAW not loading for me at all

How long did you wait before restarting?

It always says that until it opens fully. You know how TS3 takes a long time to open? So does TS3 CAW the first time (makes a lot of files). Try right clicking on the desktop exe and choose to - Run as administrator.

I got it back months ago now (I can’t remember quite how). Someone mentioned on one of these posts it was the anti-virus, so I looked deeper, and I saw the ea files were on a list of blocked programs, so I fiddled with it, unblocked them and got it all back! ??

A long time, I even opened task manager, and saw the program wasn’t even running.

I tried, still won’t work..months later. I’ve given up simming!

I'm so sorry you couldn't get it to work. :(

Thats sad! It works for me and i reinstalled it recently, too. I used to have to "run as administrator" to get it to open. Maybe uninstall and reinstall? Deos your game work otherwise?

I have the same problem. just installed the CAW for version 1.69 and after the loading screen it just stopped. waited for a while but nothing seems to happen
