Sims Medieval won't launch on Windows 10
Hi.
My PC automatically updated to Windows 10, and ever since then I haven't been able to play the game. The disc version was originally installed. After I was updated to Windows 10, the game wouldn't even open to the launch screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Now the launch screen appears, but when I press play, nothing happens. I then downloaded the digital version from Origin and it still nothing happens.
I always wait about a minute for it to load because even when I had Windows 7 it would sometimes take a few seconds. But now the wait is always in vain. I also check the task manager when trying to launch it both ways, and it always says its running in the background, but otherwise its completely invisible.
I think its also important to note that I downloaded the free trial of Sims 4 off of Origin after downloaded the digital version of Sims Medieval. The Sims 4 trial worked like a charm.
So what do I do? Is the fact that I now have both the disc and digital versions downloaded furthering the problem? Or should it not matter because they are really one registered product? How can I get this game to work again?
Thanks
The digital version of the game should work without issues on Windows 10, but as you say, maybe having both the disc and digital version installed at the same time is causing issues.
Please, try this:
- Uninstall both the disc and downloaded versions of the game.
- Use Ccleaner to clean your registry like this article explains.
- Restart your computer
- Install the game again through Origin.
Let us know how it goes, good luck! 😉
