Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: imdvine on October 28, 2008, 10:41:59 pm I just bought Sims2 double deluxe and installed it but I cant get it to go above 800x600 screen res. I checked the requirements on the box and my system exceeds them I have updated my driver through nvidia and windows updates and it still wont budge. I even followed the insructions at maxis. The games seems to work fine but my monitor requires that I run at 1680x1050 for a sharp picture. Does anyone know of a fix for this. otherwise it's going back to walmart:blob6:
Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: Squinge on October 28, 2008, 11:01:49 pm If you run it at 1680x1050 the game will run slow. I run mine at 1024x768 even though I can set it higher.
Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: imdvine on October 29, 2008, 06:00:17 am the problem is that I don't have any choices 800x600 is the only option on the list.

Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: Angeleyez87 on October 29, 2008, 11:02:19 am I had the same problem . Do you any EPs installed ? if so, download a patch and it should be fixed .
Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: imdvine on October 29, 2008, 06:07:35 pm No ep's other than the ones in the package. Should I download the individual patches as if they were separate packs?I.E. Sims2patches+Nightlifepatch
+Celebrationstuff Tried that downloads say i'm already up to date Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: Tenshii~Akari on October 29, 2008, 07:39:47 pm I don't know if this is exactly the same thing EA told you, but have you tried this method (http://www.modthesims2.com/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Cannot_Raise_Resolution) out? :angel:
Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: imdvine on October 29, 2008, 08:04:11 pm this is what I got from ea but I'll try it again maybe I did it wrong
Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: EKozski on October 29, 2008, 08:25:23 pm Doesn't the game automatically configure itself to your computer specs?
My resolution is at 1024x768. I can take it alot higher if I wanted to, but I left well enough alone. Title: Sims2DoubleTroubleDeluxe Post by: imdvine on October 30, 2008, 03:41:53 am I thought that it would. I had sims2 installed and it worked fine, I think it ran at 1040x900 or somthing like that, but this double deluxe pack doesn't go over 600x800 and I can't figure out why. I've tried everything that I can think of but nothing helps. I think I will Have to return it and keep playing with my original game. It's A real bummer but maybe I'll get bon voyage I think my sims would like a swin in the ocean.
Thanks for all your help everyone and if anyone does figure this one out, please post the solution so the next guy can find it. |
