I have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin, I have scanned the laptop for malware etc. there was nothing, I have clearer cache files and tried to repair the game - none of these have worked so far.Has anyone else had this happen since the update? Or has anyone solved this? Thanks.
It also seems to reinstall the game every time I click back into Origin as it isn’t playable straight away it says verifying game files and goes through each as if it is reinstalling or updating each time I go back into Origin after exiting.

It seems to be a mod stopping the start up, the game worked fine when I removed the entire mod file. Does anyone know of any current mods that are corrupted / out of date so I can try these first before I have to go through the 2000+ I have 😫
@Chloeeb93 You can try this list of broken mods:
But if that doesn't help, you'll need to test your mods yourself. The 50/50 method can make the process much more efficient:

Thank you, I have looked through and taken out ones that are listed as not working etc. there still seems to be something stopping the launch, I’m assuming CC or a mod not listed in the forum. Unless you know of any mod/cc conflicts?
