Not getting past "Preparing game" window
Been looking into this a few days now for my wife. Since the newest update, game won't launch at all. There are no mods, only official DLC. Things I have tried:
- Force -dx9
- Clean driver install
- Deleted temp game files
- Moved Sims 4 folder to desktop, attempted to run (tried all three .exe)
- Attempted compatibility mode to win 8 and 'run as admin' (tried all three .exe)
- Game repair
- Uninstall game, delete all related files and folders, restarted and reinstalled.
- Reinstalled EA app, clear EA cache
- Checked for windows updates
- Attempted a summoning circle and sacrificed energy drinks
- Messed around with settings in Nvidia control panel specifically for sims 4
Game was running fine before this update with over 1k hours of gameplay. What's next? Tried to read the crash log files but I see those are worthless to me.
After reinstall I don't even have a config file to use now.
