Plumbob Infinitely Loading
When I launch the game, I get to the plumbob like normal, and once there, will proceed to watch it spin for seemingly eternity. I have no custom content, and no DLC's installed, it is just the base S...
@puzzlezaddict Running in Windowed mode did not make a difference.
As for the Reliability stuff, I just want say that I have to sit and watch the pumbob spin, until I go to Task Manager and close it through there. Alt+F4 doesn't do anything, right clicking the task bar doesn't do anything, and pressing the close window button doesn't do anything. These errors I think relate to me closing through task manager, but I don't really know what I'm looking at, and wanted to give you context at least.
@Bananarolls The game is crashing. The game can not initialize for some reason and crashes into a loop and can not recover. When you run out of physical memory Windows will page blocks of memory out to virtual memory on your system device. Have you tried to free up space on the system device? Something in the game's initialization can't complete causing the game to crash. You might use event viewer to look for errors. This may give you a clue as to why the game is crashing. When you are "moving" the game from c to d are you uninstalling then installing the game through Origin settings? This game can not be copied - it has to be installed. It is a good idea to use a registry cleaner like ccleaner (there is a free version) before the install. Anything that is not directly created by the installer is subject to be left by the uninstaller. Another thing to check are settings in the Windows browser. You may not use it but the game uses the APIs to communicate. Is Edge up to date? Is Windows have any updates?
@Bananarolls Try reset Microsoft browser. Do you have Visual c++ 2013 redist. installed? I have both installed both 32bit and 64 bit. Somehow I think you need the 2013 version. You say it has been some time since the game was run. Is it possible you installed something since that may have broken the game? Did you uninstall anything since that maybe the game needs?The game should start Origin if Origin is not already running. Did you try to use symbolic link on any game files/folders? Is your game a Steam version? You could open task manager (ctrl, alt, del) then open startup. Disable anything you think is not necessary. Restart computer. Try game. It is a good idea the note what you change so you know what to turn back on. Try running game in safe mode - worth a try.
