Flagging my own gameplay issues, Sims 1 launches but after roughly 1 sim day or 5 mins of gameplay, on my laptop which is new and only has these legacy releases installed lags and then crashes forcing me to open task manager and end task.
wondering if anyone else has just this issue? Hopefully this will be addressed in another patch.
Sims 2 works just fine, had 1 crash after making a first family but they got saved in the bin but that’s it.
adding to this that the update has broken my sims 2 game, directX error code when trying to enter any household.
ASweetLullaby For the Sims 1 issue, please let me know whether there's any pattern to the crashing other than the time elapsed. For example, are you playing in a specific area or doing something in-game that you weren't at other times?
Please also provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
Please report the Sims 2 issue in that forum, preferably in an existing thread started after the patch. Here's one you can use:
The Sims 2 Legacy Direct3D Error | EA Forums - 11865572
A dxdiag would be helpful there too, as would a screenshot of the error.
