Direct x for the sims 2

Alright - done. Here's what happened when I renamed the folder and rerun the game: - The same error occurred again - A new TS2 UC folder was generated But the only sub folder inside it is "logs" - And that folder does not contain a new config-log file at all..

Attached File s Thumbnail s. That 9. Try downloading it and install it. EDIT 3: It may also be cause you updated the drivers of your graphics adapter, but certain 9. I downloaded the installer and here's what it told me: "DirectX Setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. No installation is necessary.

I had to download it a few times before the game would stop giving me that message, even though I was up to date. Maybe try running the install for the game as Admin as well?

Also, Windowed mode, I guess could help? I put my game at windowed before launching it, but still got the same error. Either way, try both 'cause honestly you never know. October May I had this same problem and made it work by using the a program downloaded from the internet called the Graphic Rule Maker.

Make sure you have the newest version of Graphics Rule Maker. I think the latest version is 1.

Simsnetwork has it I think, but you can Google search for it. See if the newer version will work for you and edit the GraphicsRule. Please keep me updated and if it doesn't work, I'll try to figure out how to manually edit the file.

HI, I'm having the same problem, and tried to follow the steps you mentioned my graphics card does appear in the dropdown list but I cannot open the game at all. I used to be able to go to the Properties of the shortcut, then in the target line add a space then -w to the end to open a windowed mode, which was too small, but now it won't open anything at all and still comes up with the DirectX error message!

I also tried to follow the video by Classy Phoenix on YouTube both the old and the updated version , to edit the. Did you also try to edit the Video Cards. Also, did you apply the 4GB patch? You should be able to find that with a Google search. If the error persists, try launching the game in windowed mode.

Right-click on The Sims 2 shortcut on your desktop, open Properties. Find the Target line, and at the end of it press space once, and add "-w" without the quotation marks".

Save that and try launching the game. Nope I didn't try to edit the Video Cards file. I just applied the 4GB patch, still the same error message when I try to launch Yeah I tried the -w addition before, it used to work but the screen was tiny.

Please make sure you have a direct X9. The application will now terminate. I've scoured the internet for forums on this for weeks now and have come to no possible solutions.

I have updated drivers, cleaned up registry and I've reinstalled the game, tried 3 different copies of the game. I have also tried running the game in several different compatibility modes, minimized windows and running as administrator. I uninstalled my graphics drivers and reinstalled them via the most updated versions from hp's site instead of AMD. Adjusting hardware acceleration is not an option per the manufacturer of the graphics adapter.

I've even tried with great risk creating a system backup, uninstalling registry entries for directx11 and installing directx9. This did nothing so I did a system restore.
