EA/Maxis has found the Nvidia problem!
vikitty:
Weird. I have Norton Protection Center and I've never had problems. o_O
unregister:
I have Norton, ATI Radeon x1300 video card. I have never turned Norton off during gameplay. I don't get crashes. If Norton were the problem, wouldn't everyone's game crash with Norton installed and working regardless of video card?
edit: The Norton is 2007, pc has 2gbs, I have all eps except Free Time, no stuff packs.
Sivany:
I have 1Gb RAM and a Radeon 9600 graphics card and I've just started getting blue screens since installing FT. The screen goes blue for anywhere between 30 seconds to five minutes but the game has never crashed so far, it always comes back. I have Norton installed, never even thought about turning it off since it's been there for so long and never caused problems. I think I'll try playing with it disabled and see if that stops the blue screen appearing, worth a try I suppose!
Sadly I can't afford to update anything on my computer right now, no matter how cheap it may be. Hopefully before Sims 3 comes out I'll be able to upgrade most of my computer because I doubt it would cope with the game at all and I certainly don't have the harddrive space for it.
morriganrant:
I had Norton on this pc, well up until a few eps ago anyway, it came with the system and I was waiting until the sub ran out. I have an ATi Radeon Xpress 200 card. I have never seen a blue screen from The Sims 2 or it's packs with that arrangement.
I don't see anywhere in that explanation of EAs, where they said that they re-installed Norton to test the configuration again, after they suddenly decided that it was the issue.
MistyBlue:
It's not JUST Norton, it's Norton in conjunction with nVidia and possibly system specs. Read and use logic dammit!
If you have an ATI card, this does not pertain to you...
