For two days now my Sims 4 game (base game plus Island Living) has failed to launch. I get a message "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later." I repaired the game but the same thing happened. As EA is telling me it's their fault what am I supposed to do?
AdamScott53 Please try playing in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs.
If you still can't play, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
A lot of us are having the same issue I’ve only been able to play it through steam I linked my EA account to my steam account and was able to download the Sims and all my packs that’s how I’ve been playing for the past two days
