sim tv not displaying
Invisigoth:
I have no files in that directory, although I do have folders. One is called Broadcast, which has an empty folder for each channel, for commercials, and tv_weather_summer (and the other 3 seasons of course), and one labeled "static". The other folder is Games which also has empty folders in it. If you go into C:\Program Files\EA Games\Any EP that added tv stations or games\TSData\Res\Movies you will find folders with files inside of them.

:-\ Have you tried playing any video files lately ? Try playing some avis and mpegs if not and see if they play ok . The default videos in the game have the .MOVIE extension although I'm wondering if they're avi based seeing as they are the types of custom videos that the game plays . If your avis don't play correctly it could be a damaged codec possibly ? :-\
Jade:
Yes, I've ruled out any normal codec being corrupt, I can play avi files with no problem. I have tried without custom content, with no luck. All tv's base game or custom and all computers don't display any moving pictures, just a black square. I too have vista, but I did have tv's working fine under vista when I first installed (90% sure about that anyway).
ZephyrZodiac:
I just had a look in the Movies folder for my (Seasons) game. Both folders (Broadcast and Games) are there, but they are not exactly empty, as there are a number of empty folders in each one. I can't exactly see a reason for them being there, but there they are, and maybe they need to be there for tv and computer screens to work properly.
Jade:
I should have been more clear in my original post I think :)
I do have plenty of empty folders inside both broadcast and games (in my documents folder), all the ones that would be expected. The same file structure is in place in the installed files (on C: drive), with the .movie files present, which would seem to rule out any install errors.
Are the .movie files supposed to be playable outside of the game?
