[FIXED] Starting through NVIDIA Geforce Experience ask for activation

@Wolffang1307 Could you try what happens if you add the ts4.exe from the BIn_LE folder instead of the 64 bit one ?

The game should still run in 64 bit as Origin determines what version runs.

Could you also post a screenshot of the error as well as attach a file called config.log found in your doc folder.

Sorry for the late response @crinrict , I will be glad to give this a shot.

@crinrictI have attepmented you steps and i get the same error.
 
  I have attached screen shots of nvidia control panel settings, where I changed the settings. Also I have attached pic's where I tried to load the game from nvidia geforce experince. I hope this helps you help me 🙂

Thank you for your help,

It only allows me to attach 3 files at a time so here are the rest.

I am sorry for all the pics but I want to make sure everything is good. This is the last pic lol

@Wolffang1307 There was another thread on this game activation and it's a curious issue.

I was able to duplicate it that I can't actually start it through the experience. I have however no issues launching the game on the card (I don't have a chip though).

So, if you start the game through Origin, are you sure the game isn't using the card ? The config file says it's using the Nvidia card so as long as you don't use the Nvidia experience, you should be fine.

@crinrictYou might be right. The game runs fine when I go through origin and the game is running on ultra setting but it does lag a little during game play and build mode.

Thank you for your help.

Due to other reasons- I'm trying to test Geforce Experience with my Sims game. But whenever I try to launch Sims 4 via the Geforce option-it says I should 'active" the already actived  Sims base game  and despite having the code- (which for some reason is really long-the code is in the spoiler)   the code from Game properties in Origin Library mode

after typing in the code- it says "code not valid". and I tried every which way.  and it also doesn't help that the activation thing says I need to have spaces some places.  I even tried copying the code   from the (legal) Premium  copy of the game I got way back in 2014 

the code from the (legal) copy of the game with spaces

i only ever had legal copies of the game..and its annoying I can't test what I need with Geforce when Origin is making me active the already actived game.    The code is 20 letters so that might be causing a problem?

Hi @Madamelee - I've merged your post with the thread on this issue. It appears to be an open issue with some people who try to launch TS4 with GeForce Experience. 

This appears to be a bug with GeForce Experience right now. You should never be prompted to "activate" your game regardless of how you launch it, and trying to enter a code will just result in errors anyway. I believe you can still use GFE to optimize the settings in the game - just click the "Optimize" button. You just can't launch through GFE.

The only workaround right now, if you have this error, is to launch TS4 from Origin and not to use GFE to launch it. Wish I had better news for you.
