Direct3D error: D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY!
Hi, I'm experiencing an issue that's made my game pretty much unplayable. It's started in the past day or so, after I updated Windows 10 (which actually fixed another issue I'd been having). I have Ultimate Collection. I have an AMD RADEON R9 M395 video card. I have attached the rest of my specs in an image (I hope that's okay). If this is relevant, I have used CFF explorer on my game.
After anywhere from 5 - 20 mins of playing, my game will crash with a message saying: 'Direct3D returned an error: D3DERRR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY! The application will now terminate.' (see attached) I've noticed it happens more frequently on community lots (sometimes as soon as I load it up), but not exclusively.
The first thing I did was remove my downloads folder, but it still happened. I've tested it on 3 three households within my hood, each with 2 sims, and it happened in every one. I ran it in compatibility mode for both Windows 7 & 8, still happened. I have recently repaired my game. I'm at a loss for what to do really. I've never seen this error before, and I never really experience crashing apart from in these last few days. I just want to play my game :(
If there's anything else you need to know let me know.
