game not launching

hey ive seen other people experiencing the same issue and i just wanted to contribute to it hoping sims and ea fix this soon if theres a lot of us reporting the same issue being:

game failed to launch because “an error occurred on our end pls try again later” girl i wanna try now so fix it pls💔

ive tried without mods, repairing the game, clearing ea cache, restarting my pc, removing recent cc files, running ea as an admin and nothing works so pls update the game or sth idk how you guys plan on fixing it but i would greatly appreciate it because it helped me cure my scrolling addictions thanks💋

  • I was having the same problem for a few days now I actually have not a work around.. if you have steam link your steam account to your EA account and download the Sims through steam I’ve been able to play it that way. I’ve also gotten a weird rejection saying that my video card is not recognized, but no changes have been made and it was recognizing it before so EA please Halp !!

  • Astien12​  If you haven't already, please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.

    If that doesn't or didn't help, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
