Game crash prevention help
I recently got my game started up again on a brand new Windows 11 PC. I installed EA, all the necessary redistributable files as well as Direct X. DeviceConfig says my GPU was not "Found" but it IS "...

kwohld Are you able to play? The newest errors in your dxdiag (1a8 and 1b8) aren't always indications of a significant issue, although they can be.
If Sims 3 is still crashing, AND you've confirmed that your in-game framerates are still limited (use the cheat fps on to check), it would be interesting to see how the game ran on the iGPU, without the Nvidia GPU present at all. Are you comfortable removing it from your computer? If so, do that and of course reconnect the monitor to the motherboard. The idea is to test whether the problem is limited to the Nvidia card and everything that goes with it or is more global.
Ahhh alright, well I did just buy this graphics card, it cost $550, so I would hate to uninstall it. Would be a waste of money and I probably need it for other games. But I did do everything exactly as you said, and as Icarus etc have said on different forum so I am sure it will be fine. I was having all kinds of errors in my game before even after reinstalling EA and games over and over but I hadn't tried these other methods to get my game to work. So this was more of a preventative measure because I knew a crash would be imminent.
I just checked and the fps on cheat shows my fps is not going over 30 fps which is what I have it set at. Thank you so much for your help! Will report back here if any problems arise.
