You probably didn't run DXSETUP.exe as administrator. Go to the full post

The game won't launch and it gives me an error saying exception in exception handler. I got the game via Origin's Ultimate Collection. It seems like a Windows error because when I reboot the pc it works until a major Windows update (about 175 updates). Did anyone else get an error like this? Any help would be great!!

Link is a bit broken. http://answers.ea.co...er/td-p/4460184


Jumping to the solution:
  • Download the DirectX Redistributables package from June 2010. Be sure to uncheck any other junk they want to add to it. It should be a file called "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe".
  • Run the downloaded file. It'll ask for a folder to unpack in. Make a new folder somewhere on your disk and unpack it there. It doesn't matter where you unpack it; it can be deleted afterwards anyway.
  • Go to the folder where you told it to extract.
  • Find "DXSETUP.exe", and run that to install the missing components.
  • After the installation finished, delete the folder you unpacked everything in.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have tried that solution before but it didn't work
