Re: Game crashing or not loading especially after updating? Post here.

I don't know if I got the March 17th update, since I didn't play my game yesterday or have it plugged in (my game is on a USB drive), but today after the March 18th update installed I couldn't properly run my game (glitching, wouldn't load save). First, I had trouble just launching the EA app. I had to force quit twice before it opened properly instead of stalling & showing "offline" (I am not offline). I've had this problem before, usually some of my most basic mods (MCCC, Better Exceptions, etc.) help the game run on my computer. So, I turned mods back on & suddenly my game won't open at all. I don't have any heavy script mods atm, so it's mainly custom content for CAS and Build/Buy. The game won't even get as far as the loading screen as of right now. 

So, I tried to repair the game. Everything downloaded quickly & normally, except for Get Famous. For some reason, Get Famous would have an error while repairing. After multiple attempts to repair the pack, I tried to uninstall Get Famous altogether. And yet, game still won't load. 

No idea what to do or what the consensus is on the March 18th update, but AORN I'm stuck unable to open the game at all, and I still have no idea what happened to Get Famous.  TBH, I'm scared to keep messing with my game. Is it just me???

    ATM, no. It will open but still crashes later on or refuses to load. I can get to the Main Menu w Get Famous uninstalled & mods off. But, that's about it. Was working perfectly fine Mar 16 (last time I played)

    Already tried these fixes with no success, unfortunately. Mods or no mods I still have the same issue. Even without Get Famous installed. Yes, I'm on Mac, no clue if that affects anything here. Especially since my EA App was crashing initially. 

  • afenih​  Please remove your Mods folder and try to play again.

    As for GF, you can try clearing the EA App's cache and repairing again.

    I'd be interested to know whether you can play without GF installed properly though.

    By the way, does your computer run Windows or macOS?  I ask because you mentioned force quitting, which is a Mac term even if Windows users say it as well.
