Can't get into game even when bypassing launcher.

(1/2) > >>

InABox:
Suddenly my game won't let me get into it anymore.  I would get to the launcher, click on it and then nothing would happen.  I tried bypassing the launcher (by right clicking on desktop shortcut, selecting properties, and editing the target line to read ....Sims2EP7.exe) but still nothing happens when I click on my desktop shortcut.  Any suggestions?

Kazzandra:
Well, ever since Freetime, my game will start (you can see it try on Task Manager) and then fall out of memory due to a faulty groups.cache, so it seemed like nothing was happening. I have to clear it with every game start now.

jolrei:
Additionally, you seem to be running from disk.  You might try removing secuROM and then running from a no-cd crack.  (At worst, you will be saving wear and tear on your disks).  Do not use the launcher: it prompts the game to phone home, causing lag.

Other possible issues:  Have you downloaded any new hacks or CC?  Try loading with your Downloads folder out (take it out and put it somewhere else safe on your computer).

purplehaze:
I agree with Kazzandra. Since installing FT my groups.cache file often gets corrupted.  I have to delete it at least every 4 or 5 days. Never did it before.

Insanity Prelude:
So <i>that's</i> what the launcher does. (Uh... the launcher doesn't reinstall SecuROM in the process, right? if you're using a no-CD crack?)
