    Hi all,

    Can you let me know which launcher you're currently playing through- Steam, Epic or EA app, as well as provide a DxDiag and a vulkaninfo report please?

    For the vulkaninfo, click Windows key-R, enter vulkaninfo in the run box, and wait for the scan to finish (the scroll bar should stop moving).  Click anywhere in the window and click ctrl-A to highlight all the text.  Click ctrl-C to copy.  Open Notepad and ctrl-V to paste.  Save the file as vulkaninfo [your username] , upload it to a third-party filesharing site, and send a private message to me with the link.

    Please also try uninstalling the "OpenCL™, OpenGL®, and Vulkan® Compatibility Pack" if you have this currently installed to your PC. 

    Thank you!

    Playing through EA app, Dxdiag attached. I have the vulkan error. I do not have the thing that I've seen other people are removing to get it to work so I don't know where to go from here. Any new updates coming?

    EA_SolaireDespite the fact I'm not having the error linked to the Vulkan device anymore, The Sims Legacy Edition won't lunch after the update.

    Here's my data:

    I think that's the minimum because it can do vulkan, but it does not run the most recent version to my understanding. I think it's a major disservice to the gamers to not include the vulkan requirement in the system reqs, let alone what version.
