I am having this problem. Running 64-bit Windows 8.1. What happens is I install the game normallyand run launcher.

This is when I get the error message that Cannot connect to EA Download Manager. After thouroughly scouring the internet for solutions, All i keep seeing is 'manually patch' So I do this. Sims 3 works. BUT every time i start the launcher it still says cannot connect to the download manager. I cannot run expansions (of which i own every single one) without updating the game. The manual patch allows me to at least install the expansion packs, BUT when I do, i have a different situation altogether.

Softnyx Game Launcher Cannot Connect To Auto Download Server 2016. Softnyx Game Launcher Cannot Connect To Auto Download Server List. Download Game Java 240x320 Nokia 6300. Keep in mind.

I run the Sims 3 Launcher. It still says cannot connect to download manager, but since I have manually patched, I know that i shouldn't need to. I hit the play button, launcher goes away, mouse icon goes to 'loading' Everything stops and it is no longer running.

If I run sims 3 without expansions after manual patch, the base game works fine. BUT i didnt pay for every single expansion pack to use the base game only. I have tried -RUnning as administrator -Changing the Data Execution Prevention Settings (this program must run with DEP enabled, you cannot turn it off) -Uninstalling/reinstalling numerous times -Adding exceptions to firewall -Running in compatibility mode for windows xp sp3 -and probably 4 other things that i can't think of at the moment. This is identical to my problem. I am on windows 8.1 and after installing the superpatch and then installing my expansions (ambitions, generations) the game won't load.

I've tried restarting and removing the cache files, but nothing. Baldur`S Gate Shadowkeeper Download. I did manage to get ambitions working fine by using incremental patches (installing them one by one). It was time-consuming but at least it worked. Unfortunately I can't find links to incremental patches past the ambitions expansion so there's no way to patch it up to compatibility with generations. So now I'm stuck.
