When I have no internet access, I can open Origin (i.e. open Sims 3 and Origin opens) and sign in though it says I am currently offline. Origin opens, saying that I'm offline and further content is online. It does not show the covers of my games, but if I hover over each I can see which is Sims. I open that and the launcher opens. When I press play, my cursor spins for a moment. Then nothing. Sims never opens.
Sometimes it does this when I am online as well, though not recently. I have to relaunch a few times before it catches, as if my alternator is bad! Sometimes it seems like (when online) that the game isn't going to start, but it eventually does. But when I'm offline it never starts.
Again, I have a decent graphics card that has no problems with other games.
I tried to go into Sims without having connection to the Internet and when I clicked the sims icon, origin didn't pen up add usual what I got instead was a message that windows could not locate an update file of some sort. I rebooted and it then started up just fine but coincidentally my Internet connection had come back by then too. So idk which thing was directly the cause.
