Graphics Jump after minimizing sims game
PiperK1980:
I used to be able to Alt+Tab all the time until recently when it started to 'screen out' on me. If I run in windowed mode, it's fine. I can just start up the game and it does it, not Alt+Tab involved. I'll try to reinstall.
ETA: I have a 7300 too! Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE 256MB.
Cinamun:
lmao @ kamikaze mama!!
@Piper, I have the 7300 thats not the LE though, forget which one lol. I have 256MB also.
I'm thinking that an uninstall/reinstall of the drivers could possibly help too.
I've never played in windowed mode before, I should probably try it out.
I was also thinking did you recently upgrade to DirectX10 from DirectX9?
Im asking because I could alt/tab to my desktop all the time with no issues using DirectX 9.0
PiperK1980:
My computer came with DirectX10. I did the reinstall of drivers and it still happened. I'm going to reinstall the game and see if it does it after that. I'm not going to Alt+Tab. I don't do it that often and if I really need to, I'll run in windowed mode.
*Update* I did a clean reinstall with no cc and alt+tab'ed several times and nothing happened. It could be an 'over time' thing with our video card unless someone else with a different card is in our boat.
Cinamun:
Well I just got my new PC and it came with DirectX 10 and with it I got a new graphics card. Also tons of CC lol, I think its probably the DirectX 10 because my old PC with DirectX 9 never gave me issue when I would alt/tab. I'm glad you got the problem fixed. I'm working on running in windowed mode when I really need to have access to my desktop and that should fix it for me.
PiperK1980:
I alt+tabbed for a while last night and when I went back to the game, it did it again. I do believe it's a graphics card issue. I am going to test the monitor though. The one I'm using is a friend's (his comp is busted) and it only goes up to 60 for refresh rate. What was your's set at Cinamun?
*Update*
I switched monitors and it was fine, no 'screens'. My specs were 1152x864 and a refresh rate of 75. I switched monitors again and changed the 'problem' monitor to the same specs and so far no problems.
