Re: The Sims™ Legacy Collection won't Launch - Crashes without error

Hello!

I wanted to submit my crash report for RTX 5090 crashing The Sims Legacy on start up. The Sims 2 Legacy seems unaffected.

There is no error message. Sims.exe runs for approx. one second then crashes without displaying anything.

The only change has been upgrading from a RTX 4090 to 5090 (and subsequent driver upgrade).

I also tried this out on a RTX 5090 Mobile and there was also this crash. From this and other reports (mentioning 5080s, etc.), along with unofficial guidance if you roll back to a certain driver date, it will work.

I have also tested this on machines where a secondary graphics chipset is available (i.e. CPU-based Intel UHD Graphics), and I still could not get it to run even when assigning it to use the integrated graphics in Windows.

Unfortunately, unless we roll back the drivers each time, we apparently cannot play. Which is sad when you come home from work and realize you can't play the game because the GPU you're working to pay for is causing it. :'(

Hopefully an easy fix, thanks for your attention.
