Try these steps: 🙂
The game never worked
- Start Origin and the game as administrator
 - Use ccleaner to clean your registry.
 - Delete the Origin cache files.
 - Check your hardware, esp. chkdsk, to make sure your hard drive doesn't have any issues
 - Make sure your antivirus software/firewall are not blocking the connection. It's not always enough to create an exception especially if the program has already blicked the game. Check your firewall/antivirus software's manaul on how to proceed. Comodo Firewall seems to be notorious for blocking. Add the following programs to your exception list: authorizationUI, TS4.exe, Origin.exe
 - Start the game in windowed mode. If the game runs, lower all settings and put it back to full-screen mode.
 - Eliminate issues with Origin
 - Deactivate Origin ingame
 - Reinstall Origin and the game and make sure they are on the same drive, preferably c:
 - Repair the game through Origin
 - Clean Boot your PC
 - Play in offline mode
 - Make sure that you don't have programs that have a known conflict with Origin
 - Update your graphics drivers.
 - VPNs can lead to potential conflicts with the game
 - Make sure your computer fulfills the requirements of the game.
 - Make sure your Windows is updated
 - Make sure the game is updated (Right-click on the Game in Origin and choose Search for Updates).
 - Network Troubleshooting:
