sims 4 game not working/not even opening, many different issues listed below:

firstly, i had an issue where it said 'failed to launch game An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later'. then, when i deleted and redownloaded the game i got a new error initialization error at start up:

i've already tried repairing the game, restarting my device, running in administrator mode, clearing cache with app recovery, what else can i do? the issue has been around for a few days now

    After updating The Sims 4, it suddenly stopped launching. If anyone else is having this problem, please reply.

    kindafunnyloser​  This error is most commonly related to permissions.  So if you use a third-party antivirus, please set exceptions in it for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the entire Bin folder they're in.  Set an exception for EADesktop.exe as well.

    You may need to repair the game again.

    If that doesn't help, please see the first post of this master thread for a different but related error:
