NVidia screws ups, why updating drivers is a bad idea ...
tizerist:
Yesterday I rolled back my 8800 GTX drivers to 160.92 just for TS3 so funny to see this thread.
I suspect that the CAS black-screen glitch may come back now, but if it helps with CTD's i'll take it. I suppose. :P
Will keep updated.

I use an old driver too. Just trying to install a driver more recent than 1.78 makes the PC freeze.

190.62 drivers (October 5, 2009 release), GeForce 9600 GT (of course since drivers are entire ranges its going to affect more that just the 9000 family) and The Sims 3 (I did mentioned I re-installed it).
191.07 (WHQL, also October 5th 2009 according to my download list in firefox), GeForce 9500 GT on Vista 64-bit with no such problems.

Oh FFS, that's why Sims 3 suddenly stopped working! I hadn't played for a while and when I tried yesterday I was just getting 3 seconds of a black screen and then getting kicked back to my desktop.
I'd jumped on the lasest drivers when they came out because the 190 series drivers were being funky with Fallout 3 and I'd been waiting for those issues to be fixed. So these latest drivers are working perfectly with Fallout but fucking up Sims 3. Typical huh. Will have to decide whether to wait for the next drivers and hope they play nice with both or roll right back to 184 or 187 series drivers.
Well at least finding this out has meant I don't have to reinstall Sims 3, which I was on the verge of doing.
I have a 9800GTX+ and windows xp 32 bit for reference.

I updated the drivers on my nvidia 9600gt and it killed the sims. I almost posted on the bug thread but got smart and rolled it back and poof. Nvidia has fucked up its updates before, no?
