The Sims Medieval not launching
I bought the Sims Medieval two days ago. While the game and the P&N DLC seem to install fine, neither will launch. I don't get a screen, error, or anything. I get the spinning loading icon, and then Origin pops back up.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game five times. I've tried launching it with and without P&N installed. I've repaired the files and tried launching them. I've tried running it in compatibility mode and as an administrator. I deleted the cache files in Origin and on my PC. I cannot seem to get this game to launch no matter what I do. The most luck I've had was to go into the Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > Sims Medieval > Game > Bin, and then tried launching the game and the launcher from there. The launcher gave me an error saying "Unable to start. Please reinstall the Sims Medieval base game." I'm wondering if there's a setting on my computer that's blocking this, but I can't think of what. I'm on Windows 10.
After some more digging I found that both Sims Medieval and The Sims 3 won’t run on your PC if you have a 12th gen or newer CPU.
In order to fix this issue you need to install power shell by windows. You will need to run a code before launching the sims medieval:
echo "Launch Sims Medieval..."
do{
$TSM = Get-Process TSM, SMLauncher, SimsMedievalLauncher -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}until($TSM)
$Affinity=$TSM.ProcessorAffinity
$TSM.ProcessorAffinity=1
Start-Sleep -s 5
$TSM.ProcessorAffinity=$AffinityAfter entering this code your game should run normally. To my understanding you need to run it before each launch. But it works!!
i got this code from @Plasma_Ball1The original code for the sims 3 is by @Miaa245 which can be found on this forum:
