I don't use a specific antivirus, Its been like two weeks since I built this thing so right now its just Windows Security. I don't really understand OneDrive but its not apparent in task manager if its active? I really never touch it so I don't really know what its doing for me. It says it contains 6GB of files when I right click it through my files.
@EspressoBean21 That could be the issue. If you don't have any particular use for OneDrive, try unlinking it:
Please keep in mind that this will likely remove the local copies of any files OneDrive has synced. They'll still be in cloud storage and accessible at onedrive.com, but you'll need to download them again if you want to use them. Given how this works, I strongly recommend making backup copies of any critical synced files before changing OneDrive's settings. You can see which folders OneDrive is syncing here:
If you want to keep using OneDrive overall, another option is to simply tell it not to sync the contents of Documents, as described in the link above. However, you may first need to pause syncing and/or cancel the current sync.
Normally this is enough, but occasionally a player will be unable to change OneDrive's settings at all other than unlinking it. Which approach you try first is up to you.
I unlinked my PC from OneDrive and nothing has changed
@EspressoBean21 As a test, 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 your existing EA account and won't need to reinstall the game, but your saves and other user data won't be available. That can be addressed later; for now, just let me know whether you can get far enough to load a new save.
Well, even on the test profile I still can't open the game. Instead of an error saying the game is already running, it just closes with no message or anything. That was happening with the 12th/13th gen error so I tried the same couple fixes but nothing changed. It just wont open and goes back to the launcher without a message or anything. (to be clear I get to the launcher, then instead of opening the game when I hit play it just opens EA)
