TOOL: 3Booter, the Incooperative Game Kicker
Midori:
I'm getting a strange error when trying to use 3booter and FPS limiter to start TS3 on my laptop. The dos prompt will show up as usual, then I get the error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to end the application." I have a desktop that runs FPS limiter just fine, so what's going on with my lappy?
Laptop specs:
ASUS U31SD-XA1
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Core i3 2.1ghz
4GB RAM
nvidia geforce gt520M 1GB + Intel integrated (optimus)
Desktop specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
AMD Phenom II x4 Black 3.2ghz
4GB RAM
nvidia geforce 8600gt

It's Optimus. You can't disable it, so you can't use 3booter with fpslimiter.
However, since you do have an nVidia card, you can make TS3W.exe use your nVidia card (it defaults to integrated) and then in the settings change the Vertical Sync setting to force on. That'll force it to keep 60fps, which is a hell of a lot better than letting the game run as fast as it wants to. Sure it's double what the game uses, but I'd rather run it at 60fps over 100fps. I'd prefer 30, but Optimus gets in the way of that.
Midori:
Thank you, IAmTheRad. I had a sneaking suspicion it was optimus. I had been doing exactly what you said and I'll continue to do so. The nvidia card only runs TS3 at a maximum of about 70 fps anyway but I didn't want to take any chances.

FPS limiter does not appear to resolve overheating problems for me with Pets, no matter where I put it. (old instructions or new - to be clearer). Lot view is at between 45 - 70FPS, hood view isn between 100 - 130FPS.
Is anyone else having this issue?
PA:
If you press F10 after it loads, do the green numbers flicker in the corner?
I've not noticed any issue with it; it's in the same place I had it for Generations.
