Ever since I downloaded the latest patch, my game won't launch. The launcher comes up fine, but then when I try to actually launch the game, a solid black screen comes up with white around the edges. Also, the Sims' rotating loading cursor is there. But that's about it. No matter how long I wait, the game won't start and it says it's not responding. Once I sat there for twenty minutes straight on that screen and still nothing happened. I'm on Windows XP if that helps. Please help me!
