Title: Launcher Crashing?? Post by: KiwiPriss on 2009 August 10, 23:30:29 Ok, a week or so ago the launcher started crashing every time I open it, as in, it opens, then when I click the big PLAY button the button stays "depressed" looking and the whole thing crashes. When this happened the first time it was just after I patched to 1.4 so I reinstalled the game and didn't install that patch but now it's doing it again GAH! Halp??

Then starting the game would be like asking youself to calculate pi, whilst making pie, and traveling to Australia to serve said pie within two seconds.

There is certain malware that runs in the backgrounds of computer and is huge, which cause other programs to slow down.

EDIT: I did a complete scan and nothing came up. Hmmm? Title: Re: Launcher Crashing?? Post by: Mire Krisma on 2009 August 13, 05:19:34 I recommend just using the .exe, and skipping the whole Launcher BS.
Look at C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3.exe to skip the Lawn Chair. |
