I have a new gaming laptop that came with DirectX 12. The Sims 4 doesn't play well on it. After 30 minutes or so, the game will lock up my entire system. I cannot alt+tab to the desktop or ctrl+alt+delete to the task manager to force the game to stop. I have to force the system to shut down. All progress is lost. My older laptop had DirectX 11 and I could play for hours without a problem. Is there a correlation? The Sims 4 requires DirectX 9.0c or a compatible version. I have read on some sites that DirectX 12 isn't backwards compatible. I don't know if this is true. I've attached my dxdiag. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
