    Hey all,

    We're locking this thread and starting up a new one here as we've released a patch that impacts how DirectX 11 and The Sims 4 function together.

    Please use the thread linked above going forward.

    Thanks!

First I think the DirectX 11 causes my game to crach. It allways happen eventually when I have the directX 11 activated. Without it, it never happens. And the game is really slow before it happens and it can happen on any interaction I do with my sims but mostly when I use social interactions. The game just stops answering and then it craches. And another thing. It doesn't let me go to my desktop during full screen gameplay with the windows button like i'm used to. I can still se the windows UI but the game screen covers everyting else so if my game for example gets stuck and I wanna use ctrl+alt+delete and close the game, it doesn't work cus the window that is supposed to pop up doesn't. I just see the UI.
