Hi all I have installed sims legacy on my windows 11 computer and it’s a gaming computer. It installed ok when I went to run the program it’s said error and shows this message  

The game was unable to find a suitable Vulkan device on this machine. Please update your graphic card drivers and try again. More help: https://go.ea.com/sims-legacy

can anyone advise me on what to do in the simplest term please

    It’s not working for me either. I just bought The Sims 1 via the EA app; I wanted to play the old-school version again. Now I keep getting the error message. I’ve attached the dxdiag.

  • X-Samm91-X​  Your laptop's graphics chip is below the minimum requirement for Sims 1 Legacy because it can't run the vesion of Vulkan that the game uses.  There's no way around this, short of buying a new machine, so your only option here is to get a refund.
