Hey everyone!
First of, I have good news:
I saved my game folders "outside" the game (copies) and deleted the EA launch app and installed it again. And it worked! :) So I could finally start playing the bachelorette part.
BUT... here are the bad news:
An old even worse problem is back. After playing for like 15-20 minutes, my screen turns off, i.e. it goes black and acts as if the computer is turned off. But the computer is still on as it's roaring from loading the game :sweat_smile: I used to have this problem last year, found no similar problems online and just gave up. When I tried playing again months later, it seemed to have gone.
The problem here is, I guess it's my old computer who just struggles too much to run the game by now. I have lots of packs installed but stopped buying the new ones (the first one I didn't buy was the werewolf pack) in hope to still play the game. Maybe all the patches added to its struggle (no idea how all that works tho).
Why do I tell you this? The thing is, I tried to play the bachelorette chapters. I came as far as day 6 with replaying a lot several times because of the crashes. I used a little (super annoying) trick: saving every 5-10 minutes. Yesterday, the game crashed in this black monitor nightmare way while the game was saving.
And I have to admit that I just have to give up at this point. I love the game, I love the challenge, but it's more stressful than funny playing the game this way. :/ This problem forces me to put the whole challenge on hiatus (gosh, how dramatic does this sentence sound? :s ) and I'm afraid I might have to give up the whole game...
I'm really sorry, but I hope you can understand.
