PC Initialization error at start up - [135dec40:598068e4:00000078:37b26003]

Question

Initial patch on the 4th left my game crashing/closing without any error message before getting to main screen (initial loading screen did come up). I downloaded the hot fix patch through Origins and it still did the same. I downloaded and installed Eco this afternoon hoping that would fix everything and now when I try to initialize the game I don't get loading screen, I get this in an error box:

Unable to start:

Initialization error at start up.

@Temprah&nbsp; This is usually a permissions issue, as in, Origin or the game doesn't have the permissions necessary to write data.&nbsp; Try the suggestions here:

Start with the Controlled Folder Access settings and disabling or setting exceptions in any antivirus/firewall you have running.
