Yeah after putting many hours into the game using that renaming workaround, the game just stopped working again for no apparent reason. I'll look for those drivers.


Have you had the chance to check if there an update for your driver?
If so, is it working now?

 

Here are some advices: Finding Devices and Updating Drivers

Going to try downloading it via origin now.  Hopefully I will get it done before I leave again on Monday.  I'm also downloading the graphics card update to see if that works.


If ever you can, please post a comment on this and let us know how it goes - Thanks.

Turns out after not playing the game for awhile and renaming the application again it started working perfectly again for me. Did this way work for anyone else? Just curious.

Thank you bradcq. I am happy to hear that and indeed if some players could also post their feedback on this, that would be very helpful.

In the meantime I will list below the workarounds mentioned in this thread that could help in resolving this issue:

 

  1. Updating OS Windows (e.g. Service Pack 1) - by roguetwo
  2. Downloading the game via Origin - By bradcq
  3. Updating video card drivers -  By th3f15t

There is an update for my drivers available, but it won't install correctly so I had to roll back to my previous version.

Just wanted to update I tried this out finally.  Turns out the fix was that newest graphics card update NVIDIA pushed out.  The game works fine now.
