Game Never Starts... AT ALL!
jjsmith:
checked that too. it's got more than enough. there's a guy over at mts that's having the same problem, only with less people to help.
Jenna:
What kind of video card do you have?
jjsmith:
Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
Jenna:
That might be your problem. The Intel G45/G43 Express is on the list of supported cards/chipsets for running the game, but it's still a chipset, and not guaranteed to run the game reliably -- let alone the additional Expansions and Stuff packs. TS3 is pretty resource and graphic intensive, and to run it even half-way reliably, you need a proper video card. Chipsets are designed more for multimedia applications and casual gaming.
Other issues I can think could be an overheating or power issue, due to a malfunctioning fan or power supply. I'd check into that as well. Other than that, make sure your video and sound drivers are up to date, and that you're playing with the original game executable; there's a number of nocd cracks/patches that are notoriously botched. The last issue, of course, can't be discussed here due to site rules and you'll receive no support for it -- so don't even mention it.
That's the only advice I can offer you at the moment.
