Hello, yesterday I wanted to start playing the Sims 4 again after being busy for a few months. I just got the new Snowy Escape expansion pack and downloaded the latest patch. When trying to start the game I get this popup though:
Unable to start
Initialization error on startup
[135dec40:3fbbecd0:00000064:00000000]
I already tried everything I could find on the internet to try and fix it, but sadly nothing worked.
I tried:
- fully uninstalling Origin, using CCleaner, install it again
- clean boot
- uninstalling and installing the Sims again
- renaming the Sims 4 folder
- clearing Origin's cache
- making sure Origin and Sims 4 are on the same drive
- updating my drivers
- disabling windows defender
Most likely missed something on that list, but those are the most important things I tried.
