I created a BU and installed the update, I even dumped all my (updated) mods back into my mods folder after I learned that this patch was pretty safe, not really introducing any significant issues. Twas worth the risk.
I run the game on Ryzen 7 supported by a beefy GPU, so I've had zero problems with DX11 so far. I also play on Ultra and the loading times are considerably shorter, graphics are sharper with a huge improvement in framerate. Hooray.
I'm quite satisfied with how the game runs for me right now and I'm looking forward to future improvements in performance!
My game has been running pretty well, of late. I have a new gaming laptop (lots of RAM) and I delete certain files before I play each gaming session. I'm pleased as punch, given my experience with my former gaming rig that died, and left me to play on a regular laptop, which also crashed and burned. Thankfully, the patch hasn't hurt my game, as in the past.
Not going to lie I read your name as SimmerBakery29 and started craving pie
My game is running the same as it always did. About 6 months ago I noticed a much longer start up time, that hasn't changed. Lag has not been an issue. I did notice after a recent party I had several guest sims who refused to leave. I can't interact with them. They are just sort of standing there. One guys in his underwear which is a little strange. It was a costume party.
It's worse.
At first my game wouldn't default to the DX11 version. My game recognised my Nvidia grafics card (mentioned in config.log) but still default DX9. After searching on the forums I found a fix by changing the global settings of my grafics card. So finally DX11, only to find out that I am not able to use alt+tab in the DX11 version. That feels rather crippling. I need to be able to switch to my browser every now and then. On top of that the times to load the game haven't improved. I don't play on ultra, so the grafics aren't my priority.
So back to DX9.
I have not noticed any difference in the performance. I also have played it on ultra settings since I have a gaming PC that well exceeds the minimum required spec for the game. I still have many of the same bugs that make me feel the game is frustrating to play, so the update really did nothing to fix it for me.
My game is running like it always runs..Smooth. Make sure everything you put in your game is up to date but that's not always the solution. You just got to stay on top of your game, keep it clean and make sure everything in your game is ready for updates.
My game didn't automatically update to DX11. But my computer is capable of it, so I updated it manually. My lot loaded so much faster! I was amazed.
I only went into the game to give Cassandra her new earrings from the event, so I don't know if the game will run smoother once uploaded or not. But I will try it this afternoon. I have high hopes based on the loading time.
My script mods are happy, that's all I care about. 🙂
So far, I haven’t experienced any lag. And it seems to be loading faster, but it has only been a few days, and I haven’t experienced blizzards since the DX 11 update. I’ve been heading my influencer sim over to Copperdale to make clothes at thrift tea though, but no behind the counter NPC to serve food or bubble tea, I’m not sure why……
I feel like I should add that I don’t use CC or mods, but, I definitely haven’t experienced any lag since the update.
