DisplayName field missing from registry

I keep getting a pop up when I go to launch the sims 4 game. It asks me to login, which I do, then I go to click play again. Then it pops up again, I have restarted the app, I have logged out of the app and back in, I repaired the game. I can't think of anything else to do, has anyone had this issues before?

  • xXAlthaiaXx4eve  Please uninstall the EA App with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine), using the Intensive scanning method.  Restart your computer, reinstall the App, close it, and run it as an admin: right-click the desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."  Then try to launch Sims 4 from within the App game library, not from its shortcut.

    The "DisplayName field missing from registry" part of the error just means that the error message couldn't find the name of the game to include in the message itself.  That's useful information, sure, but the interesting part is the rest of the message.
