Re: DirectX 11 Technical Issues and Feedback Thread
I posted this in the dx11 thread but it was deleted as spam for some reason.
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every Time
What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020.DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, Get To Work, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Cottage Living, Horse Ranch, Island Living, Outdoor Retreat, Dine Out, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Realm of Magic, Dream Home Decorator, Cool Kitchen, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Backyard, Vintage Glamour, Toddler, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Moschino, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Country Kitchen, Blooming Rooms, Decor to the Max, Everyday Clutter, Castle Estate, Cozy Bistro
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Install custom wallpapers, eg the 'Tiny Twavellers' walls by Felixandre and HeyHarrie, the 'Chateau' set by Felixandre, some by Pierisim and Simplisticsims4.
What happens when the bug occurs? Walls appear as normal in the catalogue, but do not work in game. The walls are replaced by brightly coloured walls with question marks on them, see attached images. A good half of my custom wallpapers no longer work. It appears to be mostly (but not exclusively) ones created relatively recently.
What do you expect to see? Wallpapers working as normal!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? mainly walls, floors and objects. Some bug fixes from way back, some custom items ie Plasticbox's pottery, custom Cottage Living animals, Nanuke's balalaika, Ravasheen's compost, Jane Simsten's spinning wheel.
I have issues loading lots with DirectX 11. One lot in particular with lots of objects refuses to load outright. Another does load but some of my custom wallpapers no longer work, eg the 'Tiny Twavellers' set from Felixandre and HeyHarrie. This is a shame because I use them a lot! Otherwise I do see an improvement in framerate and performance, but I also cannot alt-tab out of the game any more. Custom floors, terrain paints and items seem to work normally, even ones by the same creators of the bugged walls. Until these issues are fixed I'll have to go back to DX9 unfortunately.
