I was reinstalling it on a new system and yes it was the identical code. Hi - I'm not the original poster, but I'm having the same issue.Bought The Sims Medieval Deluxe with Special Edition and Pirates and Nobles yesterday. Installed both through Origin at the same time, received the error 'Unable to Start Game- Service Initialization failed (0x039e8474)'Uninstalled, tried installing Special Edition on its own, then received a similar error (0x0175dcbb). Here's a screenshot:I've tried opening directly from the Applications folder, deleting all my.package files, reinstalling again - nothing.Short of asking for a refund, what else can I possibly do? I've attached my Mac's specs for more reference. Hello-I have just purchased Sims Medieval on my Mac (mid-2014 13-inch) and my game won't launch.
The Sims Medieval is an epic new game from the makers of The Sims. It combines the life simulation of The Sims, takes it to a dramatic new setting, and adds features that change the way. Sims Medieval receives a Mac update Published on November 16, 2016 by BluebellFlora Good news for anyone who still wants to play Sims Medieval on their Mac, EA have released a patch which gets rid of the Launcher – woohoo!
Attached are the screenshots of the messages I got when I downloaded the game and tried to play it. I have also downloaded the additional Pirates and Nobles content.I've tried to repair the game with the pack, which has not worked.
I have tried uninstalling and installing ONLY the base game, which has not worked. I have tried to repair only the base game, and it looks like the game is about to start up with the loading screen until the service initialization error pops up again.I'm not sure what other external service I'm supposed to play the game on, either. Anywhere I've looked it all says that the game should be opened via Origin.There have been other posts that there is not a solution to this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck?Thank you. I was reinstalling it on a new system and yes it was the identical code.
