I have had this problem twice. I play offline all the time to avoid this mess, but at some point, I thought I had to update to get my game to run again. Didn't work. I took out EVERY SINGLE MOD/CC and went through every individual folder I have in relation to this game to see if there were conflicts or curruptions. NONE. I cleared the cache on EA, I repaired the game itself, I restarted the EA app, and ran recovery. Geniusly, what do I do now? I got lucky once and could play it again, but it's to the point I spend more time trying to fix the game than actually playing, and that's not fair.
I went over this entire forum too... [READ FIRST] Troubleshooting your Game | EA Forums - 11572035. Like, this is dead irritating, please tell me something...
If you are a Mac player, and I am assuming you are because you have posted in the Mac forum, please see the opening post in this troubleshooting thread I have moved your post to. If those instructions don't help you please provide all the info requested.
