The Sims 1 Legacy not launching at all

Hello,

i tried several ways to fix the issue. i start the game, the EA launcher tells me it is preparing everything and after the EA window is gone nothing happens. 

I already tried:

  • ininstalling all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables and installed the latest.
  • starting the game in compability mode for win xp 
  • starting the game as admin
  • changing my GPU from my 5080 to the oboard amd one

I created a report with ID d66421b8-92ef-4bf1-a8e1-42974b4fd4e3

also added to this ticket is my dxdiag.

thanks a lot for helping in advance!

  • found a solution for me that worked. i refunded the game in the EA store and bought it on steam. for whatever reason the steam version immediately worked without any problem. hope that helped.

  • Just noticed i have the same problem with the sims 2 legacy..
