Sims 1 crashes on launch

[Fierce-Deity-Link]

Whenever I try using DDrawCompat to launch the game, it crashes about a second after the load music starts playing. I've used another basic laptop however that runs the game with this wrapper without issues.

My main computer (that crashes with DDrawCompat)-

• Windows 10
• Intel i7-8700K CPU
• 64 GB RAM DDR4 2666 MHz
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080

The laptop that can run Sims 1 and the wrapper without issues:

• Windows 10
• AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
• 6 GB RAM
• (Integrated graphics)

Is there something I have to adjust on my end for it to work? Or is this a hardware incompatibility?

If you have g-sync enabled, try turning it off. If that works, you can make an application profile for it in NVIDIA control panel, there is no need to turn it off globally.

Looks like that got it working ok now, thanks for the help.
