Re: DirectX 11 Technical Issues and Feedback Thread

Hello ! I've tested Direct x11 on my game and I noticed that my graphic card was at 100%. With Direct x9 I'm turning around 40 up to 75% if I use reshade. But without reshade, on Direct x11, it was already at 100%. I think you have to optimise the game because my graphic card is a GeForce RTX 3060. it's new. So I think a game like this should be able to run on it without damaging it.

Except for that technical feedback, for what I've seen the sims were more responsive, faster to react.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? Svenska
    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.107.151.1020 DX11
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them except the Cozy Bistro kit and Riviera Retret kit
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play with Direct x 11 activated.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The game stops responding and after a few seconds it craches.
    What do you expect to see? No freezing of my actions an no craching
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. When i use direct x 11 the game craches.

    The game keeps craching even after the latest emergency update. It happens randomly when I click things in game and the game stops answering. Sometimes it craches and sometimes it snaps out of the lag and I can keep playing. I have just noticed that the craches happen much more freqrently when I use directX11. Without it craches happen once a year. With it, it happens every time I play almost every day.

    @LirraFlirra I merged your post with the DX11 feedback thread. Please post all issues with DX11 in here.

    Do make sure to also test without mods/cc
