Blue Screen of Doom
sonofajoiner:
Is this the same BSOD problem that started with OFB? Cos yer know, all I had to do to be able to play for more than 30 minutes at a time (and avoid all that delicious hard rebooting) was to fork out £70 for more memory (I believe that works out at about $5968 in American) whilst muttering darkly about evil tycoons and their champagne parties that I was probably funding. An extra gb of memory didn't actually fix anything, but it massively extended the amount of time the game would run for. I haven't had the problem since and I reckon I play for about 4-5 hours in one sitting.
I haven't really been following the BSOD saga since then as I assumed that Eaxis and Nvidia were still too busy, locked in heated squabble over whose responsibility it was, to actually fix the problem. And of course there are all those champagne parties they have to attend. So as with many things in life, the quick solution may be to assume that help is not forthcoming any time soon, and chuck good money after bad. Just a thought.

There is a known crasher bug with (pre-8) Nvidia cards and TS2.
Put the following in your userstartup.cheat file: Code:
boolprop useshaders false
The downside of this is, you will lose the fish in the aquaria and pools.
Another way to prevent the crashes is to play in windowed mode, but keep in mind this is more heavy on the system. Your specs show your system should be able to handle it, though.
I must now join your cult. After four days of nVidia and EA giving me crap, installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, running data tests, blaming me, checking my CPU, my memory, my drivers... this has stabilized the game enough to run one hour and counting with no crash.
Why didn't ANYONE but MATY have this info?
J. M. Pescado:
Probably because MATY is the "it's broken" center of the TS2 community? If it's broken, someone has probably mentioned it here?

Final release of the new driver is out now. I'd been using the beta driver with only minimal success, and I haven't had time to test the game with the new driver- hopefully they figured out a fix before they even knew there was a problem, if it makes any sense to be hopeful about that at all.

New driver didn't help me out at all; within seconds of a lot loading, I got the blue screen. >:(
