Unable to Launch the Sims 4

Hello,

I purchased the game around 8:30 last nite and it is currently noon, so I hope to find an answer before I must request refund due the semi-shady coding that qualifies a failed launch as a game played and the 24 hour refund policy on played games. Anyways so I have a fairly common issue where I run the game and the mouse will show loading activity with the blue circle but then after a few seconds it stops.

-I have turned off my antivirus

-checked firewall permissions and tested with firewall off

-updated my graphics card drivers

-checked my C++ for updates

-Uninstalled and Reinstalled both origin and the Sims 4

-I have gone to properties of origin and the Sims 4 to make sure they both always run as administrator

There is no sign that the game is opening other than the blue circle spinning for a few moments, origin minimizing and then flashing on the toolbar, and an activationui process visible for a millisecond in the task manager. Here is my dxdiag and I hope that I can get this solved in time! Thanks for your time.

    There's a number of threads open with this issue, different things have worked for different people, for otheres, nothing has resolved the problem. I am still stuck waiting for a solution after four days of trying various things. You just need to look around this forum and try the various fixes suggested.

  • Yeah I tried everything i've ever read on here and nothing seems to help. Its unfortunate but at worst I can request refund and buy down the line when things get updated so I'm not to worried.

    I had the same problem. Tried every fix listed. The only thing that worked was re-installing Windows 8 Pro. The first thing I tried was The Sims 4 and it worked first try.

    An extreme measure for a game that should work on any system on the first try without re-installing but if you are past the 24 hour refund period its worth a try.

    If you've had it longer than 24 hours they wont refund it. The 7 day policy is for unplayed games only. The second you tried to launch The Sims 4 even once, that started your 24 hours, even if it didn't actually do anything. Origin still detected the attempted launch and that's that.
