Service initialization failed oxo175d824

This is practically grasping at straws and is probably no help, but do you get any different results by playing the game (or trying to) on a more standard monitor if you have one available rather than the HDMI hookup to a TV?

no have always played it on this one, played it on this rig as well last played it Nov 2016, been playing Sims 4 now cant play that either.

@igazor

They also has a thread going in TS4. Their monitor current mode is not set to native mode. Their monitor is 720p. They have a 980 card which should be using a 1080p monitor not 720p. I paged chester since I don't know if the monitor could be the problem or windows 10

I want to thank you all for your help I can now play sims 4 and sims 3 I went back to the previous windows 10 build, (it updated a couple days ago) and that has done it so something in the new update was causing me to have the problem.

Glad to hear it!

I would never recommend skipping operating system updates in general, but if I have to read any more of these and how they are adversely affecting users, I may be forced to write a scathing letter to Microsoft. They really do not want that to happen. And if they ignore it, I may even have to write a second one. >:) :p

I know why do they always have to break things with updates. Thanks again for your help

Well once again windows 10 has updated itself and I can not play Sims3 again same error code.

@Eveebella please see your thread in the sims 4. Guru Nick posted to you. He wants you to take pictures of the errors your getting so if needed he can contact MS or find a fix.

Ok I will look at that one
