Never had this issue. I've updated my game to 1.77.146.1030 and like usual, repaired the game right after. Now the game exe won't run at all, even if I try to run it straight from task manager. It's my birthday and I'd really like to play, but I also don't feel like aimlessly browsing through hundreds of pages on the internet to find clues on how to fix this. ☹️
So, can anyone please help me?
Windows comes with Windows Defender so you do have antivirus. Did you follow the instructions in the linked thread to add exceptions there?
ofc i did! if i start legacy edition of the game, it boots.
You have several errors with Windows Store. I suggest you try troubleshooting that. Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
This may be a problem with Origins cache. See if it helps to clear the cache. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
Heya, I only have windows defender but I checked earlier that post about exceptions to that ransomware part but I don't even have it active so it shouldn't be that. I'm still thinking it's Origin's fault, it doesn't look normal that it's spamming that process I mentioned. I've also deleted my cache files following crinrict's website instructions, even moved out options.ini from my Sims 4 folder.
I'm starting to feel like pirating the game just to able to play it because my legal version is not launching. 😞
I can see that your graphics driver is pretty old. Please visit Nvidia.com to update it.
You have a lot of crashes with Origin. This is likely a problem with Origins cache. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/
The process you wondered about is a program by QT Corporation that are used to view web content in several different programs including Origin.
Try doing a factory reset as described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
