Re: TS4 PC Error 'DisplayName Field Missing From Registry' Since May 28th Patch
Hi,
I have been unable to launch the game for a couple days. Every attempt fails with the standard error: "Failed to Launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail".
I've gone through all standard troubleshooting:
- reinstalled both The Sims 4 and EA App (with cache/data cleared)
- reset the Sims 4 user folder
- removed all CC/mods
- restarted my PC
- updated Windows and GPU drivers
- disabled oerlays/firewall
- tried direct launch via .exe file as admin
- tested offline mode and advanced launch options
- moved/relinked the install folder
- went as far as manually edition registry entries (Displayname, Install Dir, GUID)
Despite all of this, the EA Apps log always shows:
"title=DisplayName feild missing from registry"
I confirmed Sims 4 entitlement IDS are missing from the registry. This points to an entitlement sync failure on EA's side, not a local PC issue.
Support chat has incorrectly marked my case as fixed and is brushing it under the rug. I still can't access my game, so it can't be fixed, can it?
I was hoping someone here could help.
Thanks
