I took a deeper dive this morning, it looks like those files were from 2014-2015 and were not currently involved in my issue. I have Origin. I figured out why I was getting the error though, my firewall was blocking TS4 from accessing the files it needed to run without notifying me of doing so. Once I allowed the game to access where it needed to go, it worked again.
What did you do to get to this screen? Please tell me step by step. I’m lost.
Had this same issue after update in January 2025... it was my firewall keeping me from initializing! Added the TS4 bin folder to exceptions for the firewall and it worked. Thank you so much!
@CommanderStarcat That's great to hear. Would you mind posting a screenshot or two of what you changed, for other users who could benefit from a visual aid? I don't have this problem myself and don't know exactly what is required to fix it.
