@j0celynj0nes38 Thanks! Hoping it helps you 🙂 Origin has been horribly buggy since the latest patch and causing an increase in issues. There does seem to be a link between some people’s games and Origin being the problem but no common factor yet. Doesn’t seem to matter what model Mac, version of macOS, DLC installed, it’s affecting people randomly.
It’s important to discount the usual Mod related issues which make up the biggest proportion of “game will not open after patch” issues by testing a new clean TS4 folder. Creating a new Mac user account helps eliminate corrupted Library/Preference/Cache etc. files, maybe antivirus or other software that overrides certain OS behaviour could have corrupted the User account. Then there’s the possibility the game install is corrupted during the patching process so an uninstall and reinstall may help.
If all else fails a complete uninstall of the game and Origin, including trashing all the Origin hidden files and folders, may kick it back into working.
Finally, and this has worked for some in the past but is a last resort, reinstall the OS. This fixes broken links and corrupted files. It also prompts the user to allow permissions again for various apps and OS behaviour which they may have skipped over previously and couldn’t fix in System Preferences/Settings.
You could open Console and see if anything interesting is happening when Origin is trying to launch the game. It may flag a process that cannot run or a command that cannot complete.
