★★★ Newbie

What do you expect to see? the loading screen, anything to start up.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. downloaded Seasons

i'm completely baffled at this.

 

earlier today i bought and installed seasons, and messed around for about half an hour to make a new family before heading off to work for the evening. i came back and tried to start the game, and it went into a dark screen like usual before it begins loading. the screen stays dark for several seconds--up to about ten or fifteen--before flashing back to the desktop, discord, or whatever is behind the window. it's not like the game has just crashed and origin re-expands. if i right-click the game icon in my task bar, it will tell me "application not responding" and i have to force-quit the game. i don't have any CC or mods installed, have already attempted repairing the game, restarting my laptop, clearing the cache, everything, but nothing has worked. i've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, to no avail.

Can you please disable Origin in-game and see if that makes a difference? Would also be good to know your set up. Please can you provide more information about your Mac.
