Re: Unable to start: Origin is currently not running

Yes, I did it. I have seen that webpage before. 

First, I was trying to find solution by myself and I tried everything I found on the internet.

I forgot mention few things I tried, because i did too many things. Disable Origin in Game was one of first things I did.

And I checked again. This is still disabled.

Entire windows security is disabled. I checked again. 

This is very strange, one day I was playing Sims 4 without issue, then I didn't install or change anything in my PC, I was only browsing internet, reading emails, playing other games. No change in my PC. After 2 days this happend

I forgot, one more thing. There was windows update, but I used recovery point, I moved my windows back to time before that update.

yes, I did.

I think I tried everything what is on the internet about this issue.

I need something new. 

sometimes, but not when I play games. Only for 18+ staff :D :D

I have only basic NAT, no extra firewall settings on my router. Actually only default settings.

😢

I hope some Origin update will fix it

One more thing (sorry if I missed it)

Is your game and Origin installed on the same drive ?

Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

You can attach the txt file to your post directly.

Maybe there's something in there that leads us to the right track.

yes, both on same SSD and partition.

Both are set to ENG.

Yes and even 3 screens isn't enough for me :D

But I did it, tried to set only one screen.

Windows is up-to-date now, I did update of my NVIDIA drivers and Sims 4 is still not running, same error dialog.

I did all solutions and I keep them, so my antivirus and firewall is always disabled, always running game and origin as Admin, always is both Origin and Game set to ENG, ... etc

This is too crazy, game was running few days ago.  What the hell happend? I can't believe this is so hard to solve.

@m666jaros Me neither. Really weird.

Might be extreme measure but have you tried uninstalling your 3rd party antivirus instead of disabling ? Just to try if it makes a difference.

First I have to find license key, I will try later.

YES, YES ... I had auto sync for time and region was set manualy, but correctly. When I changed both to automatic it WORKS!!!!!! Game is running now!!!!!!!!!

😃

thank you 

So great to hear

Goes off to add that to the blog post

@TeenWolf1412 It's best if you start your own thread

@m666jaros So glad to hear that! Happy Simming!

@m666jaros Just a quick question. What do you mean by region ? The time zone slider or something else ?

(mine is in German so I want to make sure I get the right thing)

@crinrict 

Yes, time zone. I have UTC +01:00. 

It's still same, it didn't change it, only set to automatic.

@m666jaros Great thanks.

@TeenWolf1412  No problem. It's just easier, especially since this was just solved and yours sounds a bit different.
