@maria1993m Please try the steps listed in this article. Even though this error has a few different causes, it's still the place to start.

If those steps don't help, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

And let me know what antivirus program you run.

@maria1993m Origin is still a 32-bit app in Windows; there are quite a few people who still have a 32-bit version of Windows and would be disappointed to not be able to play their games. So no, that's not an issue.
When you say you've tried to reinstall Origin and "nothing," do you mean that Origin doesn't install, or that reinstalling it doesn't help?

Could you try the suggestions there.
Also:
- What language are you playing in ?
- Could you check if there's newer graphics drivers for your card. Hi,
thanks for the reply
I'm playing on the english(US) version.
Also I have onboard graphics on my laptop, the drivers for this are up-to-date.
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@bopo244 Did you try if the suggestions in the linked thread help ?
- @crinrict Yep, I've tried it all - even uninstall/reinstall of both sims and origin, it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? ☹️ Thank you for your continued help
