Does EA Do Any Updates To Fix The Sims 2 Legacy?

No matter what I do, even in a completely vanilla game, meaning no mods, The Sims 2 Legacy, since I got it last year, crashes. Supposedly it had some patches done to fix things, at least the first few months of its release, but, it is still happening, it hasn't stopped. And I want to know if EA is actually even bothering with this game, even though they released it, as being updated to work with newer PC's and made us have to buy it again, to get these updates, have they bothered to keep up on it at all, or have they just abandoned it, even with people still buying the legacy one. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, hoping that maybe there was some new update to fix what is making it crash out of the blue, but, it makes no difference at all. 

So I want to know if I'm wasting my time even coming here to try and get EA to fix this game that I paid for again, or if I should just uninstall it and never install it again. 

Now I know EA doesn't even interact with us on here, no one who makes The Sims does, so I figure I am wasting my time, just as I do when I report problems with TS4. I mean TS3 also still crashes, even though they were supposed to have updated some stuff with it too, which did make it able to work on my newer PC, since before it wouldn't play at all, but it too crashes, so not that big a deal. 

But since TS2 Legacy is like a new game, it being released last year, I would think they would be supporting it at least, along with The Sims 1, which oddly enough, I haven't had any problems with. 

So again, I want to know if they are still supporting Legacy, and if not, well, that tells me that I wasted my money last year buying it, and it shows just how bad EA is.

  • claramj​  The most recent TS2 patch was about 18 months ago, and there's no indication that anyone at EA is working on the game now.  (And since we're on the subject, Sims 3's only update in over a decade was to make it run properly on certain Intel processors where the game wouldn't otherwise start at all.  There haven't been any in-game changes since 2014.)

    Having said that, it doesn't appear that other players have crashing issues anywhere near what you're describing.  Is there any pattern to the crashing?  Do you get any errors?  Feel free to post a dxdiag as well, and I'll look it over.
