Hi, thanks for reading this post.
I have installed the Origin Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and I'm having issues getting the game to even start.
The Problem:
I have added my graphics card (GeForce GT 710) to both Video Cards.SGR (CSConfig&Config folders), and tried running the game as an admin, and in windowed mode (-w).
I notice that I get two different error messages depending on whether I run in windowed mode, or full screen mode.
When I run Sims2EP9 in windowed mode, I receive an error "Direct3D returned an error: D3DERR_DEVICELOST! The application will now terminate.". I have tried searching the error message but I can't find the error specific to the Sims 2.
When I run Sims2EP9 in full screen mode, I receive the "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system!". Obviously I'm a little confused because I've added the graphics card to the SGR files.
I will also attach the config-log, and dxdiag.
Thank you in advance, and if you have any questions I would be happy to answer.
