No NVidia help files, Seasons won't run. What is going on?
ZiggyDoodle:
There was a recent sticky over at Sheepsville noting that nVidia has acknowledged it has a major problem - but EA doesn't yet know if nVidia will do a driver update or if the fix will come through a patch. They are waiting on nVidia.
Lots of people are waiting on nVidia...

And not just Simmers. I think Nvidia may have done itself more harm than good in rushing out those DX10 cards.

It's been going on for a long time....a very long time.
Something really funky happened to my computer when I was using one of the more recent versions of nvidia's driver.
My computer would start whirring really loudly and would systematically crash after doing so.
I had a feeling it was the nvidia driver since it was the only thing I had recently installed (at the time). And sure enough, I unistalled it and used my computer for about 4 days with no sign of the problem. Now, with the newest driver, things have been going better....but it still isn't perfect by any means. At least no more whirring or constant crashing. But the Sims does periodically lock up.
Ever since I installed seasons, I'm unable to run any resolution higher than 800x600! It's total @$%^ because my system is 2.8ghz and I have a very fast video card....I have no idea if it's related to nVidia's issue, but I did read on another forum that someone with a geForce was having the same problem.
I had to alter the graphicrules.sgr as well as the user settings (.xml file). But the biggest annoyance in having to manually do this is that there is no way to change the resolution while playing. So, I'm stuck with one resolution unless I want to quit the game and alter the files all over again.
Sigh. ???
