Re: Cannot Launch Sims 4 CAS Demo

I've also run an sfc /scannow, just in case there were corrupt Windows dll's somewhere, it came up clean.

Figured it out, sorry to waste everyone's time.

I started trying to figure out what could possibly make my machine different from everyone else's. Software I have installed for work. The first thing that popped to mind after that realization, was in fact the culprit. Netmotion Mobility XE Client. It’s a secure VPN client. Apparently, even when it’s not running at all, it’s got hooks so deep in Windows networking stack it can break things… even when Origin is running offline.

Anyway, uninstalled that, now I can launch the CAS Demo, all is right with the world.

Thank you so much for helping crinrict and rumbutter. Since the problem seemed to be only me, I really should have thought of that sooner… I foolishly thought if it wasn’t running, it wasn’t the problem. Silly me.

Well, I'm glad you figured it out.

Enjoy the demo

Good Luck
