Rakeeya Your dxdiag shows a few video driver timeouts, so please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the driver, as described here:
zettaira Are you getting BlueScreens, or shutdowns of the computer, when you're playing Sims 1? The BSODs are definitely happening; the question is whether they're related to the game.
ajufaifa Is the problem the EA App or Sims 1? Either way, please describe exactly what's happening.
TaylorSchipman Please update the driver for your graphics chip. You can get the newest driver here:
Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Restart afterwards and before trying to play. If you still get the Vulkan error, please post in the current master thread:
Sims 1 Legacy Still not opening despite 2/6 update | EA Forums - 11872708
and provide the info requested in the accepted solution on page one.
I get no error message. No blue screens. The game freezes, and then crashes to desktop. It acts as if I have alt+F4 it.
puzzlezaddictNo, I'm not going to do a clean install of my driver. My driver is fine. It has served me well. I've got 200 games on Steam and 199 of them work. Let's have a guess which one doesn't, shall we?
As I've said, someone else pointed out their game crashes if they have vox enabled. It's upvoted 4 times so we're clearly not the only ones with the issue. My game does not crash if I don't have vox enabled, I've played for hours yesterday without a single crash.
And what I linked is not even the only mention of it. It's mentioned once again on your own forums, on Steam community by Gizin, BardCirice, Et Bilu (Portugese) and Pepo informing others what's worked for him with 4 people responding, clearly having the same issue and fix work for them.
I'd rather you acknowledge the issue.
