Video Card not Recognized
I've been playing sims since the release date with no issues but after the 01/07/2016 patch my game became incredibly laggy and slow. I deleted all mods, all downloads from the gallery, and then pro...
Sounds like the game might run on your chip instead of your AMD card.
I don't really know how to make sure that it runs on the card for AMD but you'll need to add the ts4_64.exe to make sure the 64 bit version uses the card too.
I figured out how to add the Sims4.exe file to my AMD graphics card.
However, now there's the Sims4.exe and Sims464.exe (something along those lines)
I added both to my list and changed the settings to maximum performance.
The game still continues to lag and freeze, on medium settings, but only in live mode.
Create a sim and world management runs perfectly, but not live mode any longer.
I looked up the compilation of graphics cards that the game can run on and mine is on the list for pretty good performance.
I still can't quite figure out what changed and how to get the game to run like it used to.
What settings are you playing on right now ? Did you try play around with those ?
Also, can you try a fresh save for testing purposes to see if it's save game related ?
I have played on High, Med, and Low.
I'm not sure what you mean by a fresh save.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled. Deleted all save files, started a new game. Several times.
did you get rid of your complete user folder or just the saves ?
