Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

<< < (79/110) > >>

Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Something has to be scoring lower on the laptop for a reason.  Sims 2 gave me an A+ with this computer, while Sims 3 was scored a little lower.

Edit:  And here's that balding sim thing I was talking about.  Tried forcing anti-aliasing, and while I got beautiful graphics otherwise, I still got these goddamn balding sims, so I had to turn it back to application-controlled. 



After having such beautiful graphics on Sims 2, the jagged edges are killing me.

TashaYarrr:
Zaphod, I'm gonna crank up AA on my card and see if I can replicate your results.

MEANWHILE...

I'm not sure if this has been happening all along in my game and is just now getting to me, or if it's newish behavior: there is horrific stuttering/jerking when I rotate or pan the camera. I've tried quite a combo of low/high settings and it's still happening. Could someone with somewhere in the realm of an NVIDIA 8800 or 9600 let me know how it is on their system? Just hold down the rotate key (either pushing the menu button or using <> keys) and tell me if this occurs smoothly. Zoom should be about normal household-play level.

Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Ah, thanks. 

Also, after installing the Razor + patch version, I'm still getting random crashing to desktop.  Is anyone else without overheating issues getting this error, too?  I'll wait for an answer here before I try switching drivers.

TashaYarrr:
I've had no CTDs, just some system freezes that never recurred after I uninstalled RLD.

I can't remember (it's been a whole week or so since I was in this thread much, and I'm old), but I think crash-to-desktop was happening more commonly with ATI users?

Meanwhile, one of the following improved my camera-movement stutter significantly:

--restarting PC
--disabling Kaspersky
--deleting cache files

Scientific method rules.


Zaphod Beeblebrox:
For fuck's sake, I resorted to ATI after the Nvidia bug bullshit, and now ATI has a problem with the game.  Excuse me while I go beat my head against the wall.
