Sims 3 Not working windows 11
Hi, i had this issue for a long time, since i updated my pc to windows 11, i can't play trough the EA app. If i press play in the EA app it goes to the launcher of sims 3, but when i press the play...
I did what the post said, but when i iniciate that p1 file with powershell it opens, but closes at the moment.
Anyway, i did what the post said and still nothing.
☹️
i put another dxdiag:
I also did what the post said only I used the Alderlake workaround. My computer setup is very similar to Shadyn's.
I was able to get the game to work several days ago then added BitDefender. I have tried running with exceptions on the executables and all of the EA folders (see attached image). I have zero custom content, I do have every expansion, etc. I have also tried shutting BitDefender off completely. I make sure I am logged out of the EA App and that it is not running, I have killed the EA background app before running TS3.
My launcher will come up, but is blank on the right side (see attached image). When I hit play, it shuts down to the EA App with the following message "The Sims 3 is already running Go ahead and start playing. It's a good one." (see attached image) Yes, if I could actually play it.
Attached is my dxdiag and gyazos of my launcher window, the error message, and my Bitdefender exceptions.
Btw I am using TS3 not TS3W and the funny thing is my old Alice: Madness Returns, It Takes Two, Sims 4 (with TONS of CC) work perfectly but Sims Medieval and Sims 3 do not work. I have not checked the Mass Effect series.
