blue screen
Niliav:
Do you mean lower the hardware acceleration or what? I'm not really understanding what you mean by lowering the settings.
Rayea:
might sound daft, but have you tried going back to an earlier vid driver?
my machine is still using the defalt drivers that came shipped in the box, and i dont get the blue screens *touch wood*
that also seems to be a problem with a few games....i often remind folks on GuildWars Guru that the FX cards have a know glitch on that game and to go back to the 7. or 8. nvidia drivers....
by lowering the settings, they mean going into the settings part of the game and setting the sim detail to mid or low, the graphical detail to mid/low.
turn off the shadows and reflections.
set item detail to mid/low
save it and try the game now....not as pretty, but if it lets you play :)
after that, you can always pop each one up till your happy and the games happy...
up untill OfB and FFP, i always had the shadows and reflections turned off...maybe they upped my machines abilites with the two new packs lol.
Niliav:
Oh...well I play too many other games to be rolling drivers up and down so I won't bother until it is fixed. Tried the game on lower settings but it bugged me to no end. Guess I'll just keep waiting. :)

Silly question but is Maxis aware of the blue screen, have been to the site many times looking for an answer and have even ask the question, but as yet haven't received an answer, do you think they know how big a problem it is, and the other question is Nvidia aware that there is conflict with there video cards and the sims 2 OFB, if not how do we go about informing the right people, because if they don't know there is a problem how can they fix it
Rayea:
i duuno about a conflick with Nvidia cards, but if you read the Read Me, theres more known issues with the ATI cards listed than with the Nvidia...
and i think its more of a tech line not telling the head office type.
i had a problem with my copy of Black and WHite2 a couple of months ago.
i bought it, i installed it and it would never start up.
i phoned the tech line and they said....check the graphics drivers...
did that, still no game...
they said update your windows XP to SP2...did that, again, no game...
even tried patching the game each time...STILL no game....
know what it was? My damn DvD drive was too OLD >.
