ACCESS_VIOLATION in d3d9.dll (Steam)
Hi, the game is constantly crashing when I'm playing (Windows 10 64 Bit). The log says: App path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe type: ACCESS_VIOLATION...

@VincentVanVegan I believe what the "someone" on the Steam forums is saying is that after installing (or reinstalling) DirectX 9, there may be a leftover alias in TS3's program files pointing to the old version, or to nowhere.
To be honest, though, I'm not sure exactly which alias needs to be replaced. This is what my DirectX folder looks like inside the program files:
Does it look the same for you, both in terms of the files present and their sizes? My best guess would be that running DXSETUP should repair the issue. Other than that, I have to admit I'm not quite wrapping my head around this issue; maybe it's the late hour. Perhaps @roberta591 will be able to give you better guidance, or I can ask around in a few hours.
