Initialization Error at Startup

Hi!

The Sims 4 has not been able to start for me since the most recent update. This error keeps popping up: Initialization Error at Startup [135dec40:984c6a38:00000077]. I have tried repairing the EA app, completely uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and restarted my laptop. I don't really know what else to do at this point lol

  • I have error 135dec40:29f00e76:00000084:18a1dd51 since the update.  Glad to see it isn't just me...

  • Tbk725  This error is typically antivirus-related, so please set exceptions in yours for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the entire Bin folder they're in.  Set an exception for EADesktop.exe as well.

    You may need to repair the game first.

    Hi!

    I believe my issue was that my EA/Sims 4 folder was saved in One Drive. I installed everything locally and the game is working now! Thank you for the suggestion though!
