Flashing...
BeosBoxBoy:
Joefish - VMWare is not a perfect emulator in many regards - the difference here is that in the latest expansion packs a full implimentation of pixelshader 3.0 is used and this has no corresponding support on MacOS, even though you are "in Windows XP" with VMWare, your display is still limited by the powers of your MacOS and hardware. There are wide-spread complaints of video incompatibilities with the later EPs and Stuff Packs even on Windows systems; so this is not entirely surprising.
Make sure you have installed CEP in the Downloads folder associated with your game in VMWare, also make sure you have changed the video driver in the emulation to something besides the default Windows XP drivers.

My friend has a Windows and he has the same problem, it's definetly a graphic card problem. His game works fine up to Pets.
HugeLunatic:
So you are trying to run the game with OSX emulating windows XP?
Why? You should just run windows. And with a macbook your video card is limited. I don't think its even compatible with any ep's after NL, maybe Pets...

My fiancè runs a Macbook witheverything up to seasons, no problems. I have a 2 year old Powerbook G4 with 6GB of downloads, everything up to seasons, and I can play on the highest graphic settings. And we don't even have leopard, still good old Tiger.
Then, we have bought more RAM wich is the only thing you need to stop the flashing... Not that anyone listens to me, as usual.
