Re: The Sims Medieval not launching

@a123lol321a are you running on a Gen 12 Intel Processor? If you are not and are simply running the game on Windows 11, you should not need Powershell to run the game.

    Yes, it's Gen 12 Intel Processor and I'm on Windows 10.

    None of the solutions in the thread worked for me so far

    i found one when the person talks about fixing it via powershell or via task manager and setting affinity

    unfortunately neither worked

    i guess i'll just have to put the sims medieval to rest

  • Okay, so I have something that might work for you. I have this same issue on my Dell G16 with both the Sims 3 and Sims Medieval. The setting affinity in task manager worked for me until I had to migrate from Origin to EA, then neither worked. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked for Sims 3, but not medieval. It didn't bring up a launcher for me to be able to go in to task manager, and the powershell option outlined here didn't work.

    What I tried instead was to go into task manager and details, and set the affinity to cpu/processor 1 for the actual EA app prior to clicking play on Sims Medieval. IT WORKED. So follow the task manager process you've found in other threads, but do it with the ea app. Hope this helps!!!

    Just wanted to say thanks for this work around.  It worked perfectly for me, without having to use powershell or the script.

    Thanks again!!

  • Might have to try this because yeah the script does not work if you are using the EA app which I am. I Haven't been able to use Origin in for about 2 yrs.
