The Sims 3 - constantly freezing and crashing
Hey! I thought I´d ask help around here because I´m all out of ideas. So yesterday, I decided to reinstall my entire The Sims 3 collection, which includes eveything except Dragon Valley. After hours...

@puzzlezaddictMy Radeon Software looks nothing like that, and also that too is in Finnish so I have techincal difficulties for sure. 😃
I took screenshots for you. I don´t know if it makes any sense to you since it is in Finnish, but maybe it helps. To me it looks like it should work hella fine. I´ll start a new game and see if it works this time.
@Ronchelina I knew the software had changed, but I was hoping there was still a switchable graphics option. Apparently not though, despite the fact that AMD still has a guide to using it up on its site, with no date or notice that it only pertains to older drivers. The newest drivers leave it to the OS to assign the proper card for a given task.
I did however find this lovely thread on the AMD forums. Aside from the (very mild) ranting, there's a potentially useful post right at the end:

You probably missed my edit of my previous post (sorry, I got distracted and only came back later), but I said you'd know the game was using the correct GPU when this part of the deviceconfig:
Name (driver): AMD Radeon R6 Graphics
Name (database): AMD Radeon R6 Graphics [Found: 0, Matched: 0]
Vendor: ATI
Chipset: Vendor: 1002, Device: 9874, Board: 380717aa, Chipset: 00c5
lists your M385X rather than the R6 chip. It still won't be found or matched, but you can ignore that for now.
@puzzlezaddict After hours and hours of clicking around, I managed to get the game working! I believe it was that I changed the setting in Radion to "eSports", whatever that means. The game has been running smoothly now for a few hours. Thank you so much for your help!!🙌
