Who still plays this game
Why will I lose my mind for this game , nothing works in it I swear to god people would enjoy playing games from late 90s better than this garbage , whatever you think about in this game is just bad cause the main issue is the company it self , on god doesn’t make any sense I studied 6 years in uni and never got frustrated for anything other than this game . i want to know why ea is doing this dumb thing , if your player have a playstyle he will be better than the one without playstyle even though the stats for non playstyle player are way high . if I’m running against a defender that his pace doesn’t reach 80 and mine is 90+ he should only be close to me for a short distance not racing me the whole pitch and body me out of the game, I want to know fc devs where did they study in school cause last time I remember women in general are weaker than men and there is nothing wrong with that, but when pina bodies tomori or van de ven and shoots a shot like prime r9 even in sci-fi movies can’t happen. and scripts , I swear to god who ever invented scripts have a special place in hell , I would be beating someone 5-0 and no chance to comeback, some how my players are out of control and he wins, woooooow where is the skill in all this all I see is someone (me) is losing he’s mind for this nonsense. for the next year I think the only way to bring back the trust of the players is to fix the issues and make it free for the ones who bought this game cause I feel robbed at this moment
Battlefield 6 should have a solo co-op mode, as it was done with boots in 2042.
Battlefield 6 is very nice and has created a very different ambiance but as I mentioned in the title I definitely think that the solo co-op mode should come and be like in 2042 because the game is very fast paced and not everyone has the opportunity to play for hours. They may have work or they may not have the time, but when you enter the game after work you play for 1 or 2 hours but you constantly die. Naturally there is almost no opportunity to use or learn or improve yourself in weapon stages or other tank and plane stages. This is the issue; a solo co-op mode with bots like in 2042 should definitely come.There may be people who do not agree with me, but rest assured, there are many people who want this. After all, this is a game and we come here to have fun, so just like in 2042, anyone can play pvp or pve, and I think we have the right to do so.
He Could be Marrying His Sister ...
Sulsul everyone, I can ignore what my brain just realized, but just to make sure I can avoid the scenario in the title, I am here to ask. So ... I have a lesbian couple who adopted a child, her name is Tania. At the same time I am playing with 3 other families, so 4 in total: FAMILY 1: A couple with a child [Miwa]. The couple are both sims that I made FAMILY 2: A couple with a child. One sim I made, the other was an NCP, and they adopted Tania FAMILY 3: A couple with a child [Julian] . The couple are both sims that I made FAMILY 4: A couple with twins [Luta & Moyo]. One sim I made, the other is Orange Bailey-Moon. Now ... somehow, Orange's parents (Thorne and Octavia) died together suddenly, notebook style (I have no idea because i didn't play with the family), but, hear this, in the meantime, Octavia had sextuplets: YES, SEXTUPLETS ... 😩 ... So all of a sudden Orange was the big brother of 6 little ones, and though I was mildly annoyed ... eventually ... I managed to handle the situation and all was good, particularly when the sextuplets became young adults. Moving on, one of the sextuplets had a child [Hassan] and died at the same time, unbeknownst of me. One day Orange went to check on his family and there was this kid, and one of his brothers had died. The dead brother being the father of the kid, no mother in the kid's genealogy. I didn't think much of it at all, I was sad that i didn't notice Orange's brother dying ... but I moved on. As I previously wrote, all 4 families have children, and I have all the children interact, and they have included Hassan in the mix, so in total they are: Miwa, Julian, Luta, Moyo, Hassan and Tania. So far so good. As I am watching this new generation play, obviously I have been scheming and Tania and Hassan are endgame for me. So I went into the Bailey-Moon household because I really wanted to find a way to figure out who Hassan's mother is, with no avail ... BUT A TERRIFYING THOUGHT SURFACED. I realized that Hassan and Tania kinda look alike ....... 🙃....... what if they are biologically siblings???? I'D HATE THAT, FOR REAL FOR REAL. HENCE ... is there a way I can find out where Hassan came from????? Because he and Tania are truly my endgame [Miwa and Julian as well ... but I know where they came from obviously] Super long, I know, I apologies but yeah ... Thank you in advance, ToKi[SPAWN KILLING] NERF - EA RAGEBAIT
As flyer mains, nothing sucks (bias) more in this game - not the bloom, not the hit-reg, not the insane advantage controller players get (no camera roll, recoil) - nothing sucks as much as the fact that you can spawn kill vehicles in this game, its wretched, its rage-bait, why do you allow this. You can fly above jets and destroy them before they leave spawn, or in liberation peak, you can just fly in circles behind their spawn and literally instant kill them as soon as they come out, you can RPG your own teammates helicopter when the game starts, you can just time when the enemy aircraft spawns and go over and blow it all to hell as if they already don't have enough to worry about as flyer-mains. Is this just rage-bait? Is this what it's supposed to be like? Cause this is lameOfficially DONE with BF6 until further notice
This game has been nothing but a disappointment since after the first week of its release. The absolutely braindead idea to remove full xp with 64 bots in verified modes has completely destroyed my will to play the game. The fact that they still have not added this leads me to believe my days of playing this game are officially over. The community is so garbage and sweaty, playing any game for more than five minutes with real players raises my blood pressure to the point where I wanna throw my controller through a wall. Good to know that battlefield doesn’t value my business or care about me whatsoever therefore I don’t care about them. The maps are **bleep** and tiny. One of the LAZIEST battlefields I have ever played. I will never play this game again. Thanks devs now I have to find something else to play! But you never really cared in the first place did you? No. You diddnt. Message received.[CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 Failed to Launch Game
Overview Failed to launch game An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later. Please ONLY use this thread if your game actually fails to launch. If the game does open, no matter how briefly, and then crashes, and only then do you see the "failed to launch game" error, please create your own thread. Provide a dxdiag and a lastexception with your post. How to do so is covered in this reply: [START HERE] Crashing/Back to Map/Endless loading (Patch 117.221) | EA Forums - 12512130 This is currently something of a catch-all error, caused by a variety of issues. And the game may in fact start but crash immediately after launch. Trying to relaunch the game immediately after it's crashed can cause the error as well. While troubleshooting this issue, each time the game fails to load, make sure the EA App is closed (exit out of it; don't just X out the window), and open the Task Manager and end the EABackgroundServices entry in the background processes list. Alternately, restart your computer. Workarounds jump to: Remove mods jump to: Clean user folder jump to: Set exceptions in antivirus jump to: Change OneDrive settings jump to: Update graphics driver jump to: Uncommon causes jump to: New admin Windows account These workarounds are listed in order of how frequently they cause this issue. So to avoid wasting time on steps that are unlikely to help you, it would be best to try the suggestions in order. Before proceeding, please repair the game. If you've installed through the EA App, open the App library and click Sims 4 > Manage > Repair. For a Steam install, open your Steam library, right-click the Sims 4 tile, and select Properties > Installed files > Verify integrity of the game files. Remove mods The most common cause of this error is a broken mod, and the most efficient way to find out if that's your issue is to remove the entire Mods folder, and delete localthumbcache.package, in the same Sims 4 folder. This doesn't mean playing without mods—if it helps, you can test your mods and cc until you find the broken file or files, then restore the rest. If it doesn't help, move on to the next steps. While testing, use the new Mods folder the game created when you launched it without mods. Transfer individual files or subfolders rather than the entire Mods folder, and use the fresh Resource.cfg file rather than your old one as well. ↑ Clean user folder If removing only the Mods folder doesn't help, remove or rename (these have the same effect) the entire Sims 4 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts. If it copies instead of moving, or you get an error when trying to move it, stop here and see the OneDrive section below. Otherwise, when you launch the game, if it launches, a clean folder will spawn with no content. (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.) Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just see whether you can get far enough to start a new save and play in live mode for a bit. If this works, you can start moving your content from the old Sims 4 folder to the new one. Start by testing your mods and custom content, if you have any. Use the new Mods folder and Resource.cfg file the game creates rather than your old ones. Test your mods and cc in batches, or use the 50/50 method described here if you have a lot of files to sort through: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content#The_50.25_Method Once you're done with your Mods folder, you can transfer the contents of saves, Tray (saved households and builds), Screenshots and Recorded Videos if you care about those, and Options.ini if you don't want to redo all your in-game options. The rest can be discarded; the game will regenerate the files and folders as necessary. ↑ Set exceptions in your antivirus Your antivirus blocking the game from starting can cause this issue as well. Look for any recent actions involving Sims 4 or the EA App, and set exceptions/exclusions as necessary. The exceptions should be for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64, or the Bin folder they're in; set one for EADesktop.exe as well while you're there. If you use Memory Boost (still in beta and opt-in only), set an exception for TS4_x64_fpb.exe. This article has instructions for Windows Defender and a couple of common third-party programs: https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/10/add-exceptions-to-anti-virus-programs.html If your antivirus isn't covered, consult the publisher's online documentation for instructions. A search for "[antivirus name] set exception" will probably find a user manual. ↑ Change OneDrive settings If OneDrive is running on your computer, whether you use it or not, it can block Sims 4's access to Documents and cause this error. First, try pausing syncing. Right-click the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, or sometimes hidden in the Tray (^ icon), to see the option: If this helps, the underlying issue is OneDrive, and you may want or need to adjust your settings accordingly. You can choose which folders to sync, stop OneDrive from syncing your Sims 4 folder or all of Documents automatically, or get rid of OneDrive entirely. Please see this guide, specifically the "I don't want OneDrive to sync my files" and "I want to get rid of OneDrive" sections, for further help: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 saves/user content disappearing (PC) | EA Forums - 11838402 ↑ Update your graphics driver Some users have fixed this issue by updating an old graphics driver. If you know how to do this on your own, go right ahead. To find the current driver version and date, click Windows key-X, select the Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click the name of your GPU (the dedicated card, usually Nvidia/AMD, if your computer has two), and select Properties > Driver. If you update through the Device Manager, which has an Update button in the menu, you will probably get a slightly older driver than the most current one. This is fine for testing purposes, and this driver may still fix the issue; just understand that you won't necessarily be up-to-date, and you may be told you already have the current version when you do not. To get the most current version, go to the driver downloads page hosted by the manufacturer of your GPU. If you don't know how to do this, or you'd like help or confirmation before proceeding, or trying to install the driver you've downloaded throws an error, please reply to this thread. Include a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons. ↑ Uncommon causes These have been the underlying cause for a few uses but don't appear to be major contributors. Still, if any apply to you, try the suggestions. Disable Game Mode and Game Bar: Both of these settings are under Windows Settings > Gaming. DirectX 9 mode: Sims 4 now defaults to DirectX 11 mode on most computers. To force DX9 mode in the EA App, open the App game library, click Sims 4 > Manage > View properties, add -dx9 to the box, and save. If you play through Steam, open your library, right-click Sims 4, select Properties > General, and add -dx9 to the Launch Options box. Windows insider build: For certain other EA games, a couple of updates to the Windows beta build can trigger this error. I haven't seen this apply to Sims 4 yet, but if you're running the insider build, please see the accepted solution of this thread. Conflicting software: For other games (not Sims 4 as far as I've seen), MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner Statistics Server can trigger the error. You can close all unnecessary apps in the Task Manager; be sure to check the background processes list as well. ↑ New admin Windows account It's possible that the problem is caused by a setting or broken permissions in your main Windows account, and the fastest way to test this theory is to create a new account. It must have admin rights (not a standard user account), and it must be local, as in, not connected to your Microsoft account. The account name can only contain letters from the Roman alphabet and numbers, no special characters, accents, or anything else that isn't standard. To create a new account, open Windows Settings > Accounts > Family & other users, click "Add someone else to this PC" (under Other users, not Your family), click "I don't have this person's sign-in information," then "Add a user without a Microsoft account." Choose the username and password, answer some security questions, and you'll see the new account. Click it and select "Change account type" to make it an Administrator account if it's not already. It should say "Administrator - Local account" when you're done: Click ctrl-alt-delete, select Switch user, and sign into the new account. Then open the EA App (and Steam or the Epic launcher if applicable) and try to launch Sims 4. You shouldn't need to reinstall anything. Your saves and other user data won't be available, but that's fine for the purpose of this test. If Sims 4 works in the new account, it means the problem is contained to your old account. You can simply continue playing in the new account if you want. For any saves or other user data you'd like to transfer to the new account, sign into the old account again and copy the relevant files to C:\Users\Public. This folder is accessible from all user accounts; you can grab the files from there once you're in the new account. If you'd like help fixing your old account, please see below. ↑ If nothing else in this guide helps or applies to you, OR if Sims 4 only works the new admin Windows account but you'd like to play in your old account, try the other steps listed in this thread, which is for a distinct but sometimes related issue: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 Unable to Start, Already Running | EA Forums - 11818313 If those don't help either, please reply to this thread. Let me know whether the new Windows account worked. If it did not, please provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons. ↑
