Sims 4 Crashing on Startup - White Screen

★ Novice

Hi, I've been having issues with the sims 4 crashing instantly upon pressing play. It will usually pull up a white screen for a couple seconds and immediately close.
What I have attempted thus far:

Starting in windowed mode, starting without origin overlay, repairing/verifying game files, fresh install of origin client, origin cache has been cleared, running origin as admin, sims 4 cache has been cleared, fresh install of base game, and restarting computer.

My graphics drivers are up to date and all other drivers are up to date as far as I know. I do not have any mods or custom content installed. I have attached the DxDiag.

 

Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@zoestertoasterr Are you using Afterburner and/or Riva Tuner ?

They seem to have a conflict with Sims 4 currently. Try turning it off while you play

BTW, thanks for the thorough report and describing what you've tried. Wish everyone would make a report like that.

Good Luck

@crinrict It definitely is an issue with Afterburner and Riva tuner, I do use both! The game runs perfectly fine when they are turned off. Hopefully this gets fixed, thanks for the help! Standard smile

@zoestertoasterr Glad to hear you solved it. Not sure who needs to fix this. Probably needs to be a joint fix or something :D
