Nox stopped working/can't launch

[Lynos200]

Hello folks

I've been playing this game for a few days now without any significant issues. Last night when I tried to launch it ,it failed, saying that "synch with cloud was not complete" or something of the sort.

I tried a few more times, including restrating both my windows 10 and the Origin client, but nothing helped.

I did "Repair" but was informed that files could not be installed and it gave me an error number (don't remember what it was, sadly).

I then uninstalled Origin and re-installed it on a different drive.

I copied Nox to the same drive.

I downloaded Origin again

I downloaded Nox again successfully.

Game still won't launch. The "play" box is actually greyed out. I can't even click it.

Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

Thanks!

I know this is a bit necroing a thread but I managed to get the Nox working sometime earlier with the help of NoxSolution and actually unticking all the compatibility settings: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Can-t-launch-Nox/m-p/6220463#M265315

Hello

Ok, I did the same thing. Signed out of Origin, restarted my computer, signed in again...

Game still won't launch.

When I click it it just acts as if it's doing something, but then I'm thrown back into Origin.

At least it's letting me click it this time...

Okay so, right click and Repair the game and retry again.

If it still will not run, check the following link for info on running the Compatibility Troubleshooter as that can help with running older games on newer operating systems:

Hi 

I can certainly do that, but as I mentioned in my original post I already tried repairing (did it twice, actually) and it didn't help at all. I'll try it a third time but I'm very skeptic.

As for compatibilty mode, the game worked just fine until yesterday. I already logged 9 hours on it. So I'm not sure if that's the issue. The whole thing began when it tried to synch with the cloud and something went wrong in the process. Ever since then it's not working. Any other ideas why that might be?

Should I disable cloud synch from now on? Seems to be more trouble then it's worth.

Thanks.

Sorry for suggesting a repair again. Maybe try disabling cloud saves to see if that gets it going.

[Lynos200]

I tried to repair and got this for the third time: "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again in a few moments. Error: 327684:1"

Disabling cloud saves did not help either. It's not doing the synching thing, but it's still not launching.

Are you on a Mac running Windows 10?

[Lynos200]

No, I'm on a PC. I am running Windows 10, yes.

While I try something here on my machine can you go to the games' settings, game properties and deselect Origin in game and retry.

I will follow up again here in a short time.
