@es_lorax I have an AMD Ryzen 5600x w/ ASUS RTX 3050 oc. The first time I started the game I got the notice about the video card. I ignored it and I figured I'd get back to it later. I never changed anything and the game runs perfect. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I recommend restore the game settings where you get the message (you only get the message once) about the video card. If so inclined all you should have to do is add your card to the right place in the graphicscards.sgr file and it should point to the right place in the graphicsrules file. The settings resetting may be OneDrive. As Microsoft has made it harder to ignore OneDrive I recommend opening OneDrive settings and set OneDrive to ignore the user documents/Electronic Arts folder. That's where the game uses but OneDrive has moved the files to the user OneDrive folder to sync files. To change these setting you have to wait until OneDrive finishes what ever it is doing. Then check the option to keep files on this pc. Doing this does not upset any other programs and lets the game find the files where it expects them to be. Windows is redirecting calls to the user files and the game is doing a direct calls to the game files in the user documents folder bypassing Windows. hth

@roberta591I've had that issue with onedrive interfering with sims 3 in the past, I forgot to turn it off this time, so I'll make sure it's disabled!
My last resort was to just reset the graphicscards.sgr & graphicsrules.sgr files back to the originals, I thought it was worth asking here just in case there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, but thank you for your help!
