@SummerSloane First, please update your computer's graphics driver. You can find the newest version offered by Dell for your laptop here:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/inspiron-15-5570-laptop/drivers
It's listed as "Intel UHD Graphics Driver" and dated August 31, 2021, which makes it a bit old but newer than your current one, and critically, newer than Windows 11. Restart your computer after installing and before doing anything else.
Please also tell OneDrive not to sync the contents of Documents:
You may first need to pause syncing or cancel the current sync:
Once you've done this, restart your computer again and try to play. Just to be thorough, name your first save "test" or something similarly simple, and if that works, you can try a name in the format you typically use.
hello, I'm having the error code 16 with saving also I have tried everything ..
here is my dx -file..
@mrgothicfinn Did you try disabling OneDrive, as described in the post immediately above yours?
If that doesn't or didn't help, please create a new admin Windows account and try playing in that. Make it a local account, as in, don't sign into Microsoft, and don't sync with any other services you normally use. You'll be able to sign into Origin (if you play through Origin) and shouldn't need to redownload the game, but your saves and other user content won't be available. That can be addressed later; for now, just start a new save and let me know whether you get another Error 16.
Hi, sorry this was from so long ago, but one drive is finally disabled. However? I’m still getting error 16s even when I have a new family.
@SummerSloane As a test, please try playing in a new admin Windows account: I'd like to know whether this is an issue with your current account's Documents folder or something else. Make it a local account, as in, don't sign into Microsoft, and don't sync with any other services you normally use. You'll be able to sign into Origin and shouldn't need to redownload anything. Let me know whether you still get the error.
