Unable to Start Game
« on: March 17, 2013, 06:27:19 PM »
So now I don't know what to do.. My game just suddenly gave me a message that said "unable to start game; service initialization failed (0x0175d824)". I can't get on. This just happened in the last ten minutes and I'm a bit peeved, since I don't want to lose any of my saves :( please help!

First to try: reboot the computer.

If that doesn't help, try renaming your Documents\The Sims 3 folder so the game will create a new one. Try if it will start with a factory-default one.

I actually just got it back. For some odd reason, it started like there was nothing wrong.. Huh... It is running a tad slower, but I don't mind really. Thanks for the info though. I may need it sometime in the future ;)
