Spike glitch
Hello I have changed my graphics settings to be medium (I usually play low). I played for about an hour or so and everything was fine. Now I have this weird spike at the center of the screen. It happens on the lot I'm playing on when I zoom in and out but if I scroll off the lot its gone. Included in my pics is also my options levels. I have windows 10 operating system and then I think I have 64 bit lenovo yoga 9 but its also a hand me down and used computer. Does this effect anything? I have cc but all of the cc is downloaded from the sims3 exchange so its not like I've downloaded from another site. I specifically avoid mods because I dont want my game to glitch and not know how to start working back.
Spycoo16 You're back just in time for this forum's reopening, which happened about 13 hours ago. So this is the perfect time to show up again.
The driver for your graphics chip is known to not play nicely with Sims 4 in DirectX 9 mode (but is fine in DX11 mode), and Sims 3 uses DX9 as well. The newest driver from Intel doesn't have this issue, so please try installing it:
Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
As a side note, high graphics settings should be fine as long as your laptop is able to cool itself properly. I've heard from others on this iGPU who have no problem on high or high-ultra settings, although you may need to turn down the in-game resolution a bit. Any 16:10 aspect ratio would be fine.
