I have updated my game, the hot fix of March 18th, and my game still doesn't launch with cc installed. I still get the message "Failed to launch game" when cc is installed.
Ideas
AI gave me a fix and it worked. Delete the mods folder and the stuff like the cache, accountdb, like if you had LE's and deleted everthing. Delete resource cfg. Then go to EA APP Manage> View Properties> in the Advanced Launch Options type -dxn. This forces directx 9. AI says the problem is with DX 11. I did it and it worked. I can play my game with my cc now. Oh and repair your game.
I don't believe all these steps are necessary. Sure, I've repaired the game several times since Wednesday and created a new mod folder with a new cfg. Today I tried a more persistent approach, since the error seems to appear randomly. On the 15th attempt, my game loaded, including all custom content and mods! It might be relevant that I'm only in offline mode now, as I don't want to be caught off guard by another hotfix. Perhaps I'm just getting lucky, since I only have 55GB of custom content. The fact remains: 50/50 methods are a waste of time. My custom content/mods were up to date on March 17th, no creator reported anything as broken, and they're still working.
