The Sims Medieval launch error. Installation verification failure
I just redeemed an old copy of The Sims Medieval on the EA app yesterday. I installed it through the app, but when launching the game, the main menu appears followed by an error message saying the installation verification has failed and that the installation is incomplete and so the game cannot be played. When the error is closed, the game shuts down. I've tried repairing the file numerous times, as well as clearing cache files and restarting the PC, but it's still not working. Any suggestions?
@EA_SolaireI am no longer getting the verification error after installing the game via my disks, and I can now use the EA app to launch the game after this [see seventh attempt 🙂 ]. In fact, yesterday I added 15 hours to my play time. 🙂 I think my game crashed once? But other than that it ran smooth as butter.[ NB for anyone else who reads this: I did have to edit my graphicsDB.sgr in the game/bin folder to have the game recognise the RAM to the 4GB limit for the 32-bit engine on 64-bit machines, just like you do for TS3. Easy google search to find out how (not sure what the rules are here for linking the how-tos here 🙂 ). This is not, however, relevant to to original error].
Having said that, I do still have the "purchase the game option" in the app as of this morning. I'll take a screenie and add it to this post in a sec. 🙂
ETA images. I also popped up an image showing P&N is installed, just in case it's needed. Also, apologies for the weirdo images. Paint resizing.Edited again to add: I checked just in case it's relevant, even the MEcubed Legendary Edition, purchased via Steam and installed via Steam, doesn't have that "purchase" option available.
