Hello everybody,
Ok, I've been messing around with the .sgr files, graphics drivers and compatibility mode but i can't get the game to run properly. I'm on Windows 10 and my graphics card is a NVidia Geforce GT 540M (notebook), also the CPU can handle graphics as well (Intel HD Graphics 3000).
So, the problems:
1 - The game does not want to run on the NVidia card (although the GPU activity shows the game is using it and I think the game is using it's DLL as shown in the config-log, but despite all that, when I right click the Sims2EP9.exe it shows the graphical default is Intel, no matter how many times I try to change it)
[The DLL thing is confusing as it's seems to be using NVidia's driver but the "Vendor" and "Name" are still Intel... and I've already updated the drivers, the problem persists]
2 - Speaking of right clicking, I can't make the game run in compatibility mode from "Properties" -> "Compatibility" tab (it's missing), so i have to use the troubleshooter and I don't think it's working or it's not making any noticeable difference
3 - And more problematic, is that even if I run the game without the GPU the game will either: run with the texture problem, OR; run but after I load a neighborhood run with a black screen, OR; as it's happening now, run with no texture problem but with locked low resolution. The last two cases accompanied by stuttering and freezing my PC (in sometimes I even need to do a hard reset),
[I understand that the freezing problem might be hardware as I've encountered it before and have to underclock things to keep the system from overheating, but I can run heavier games without freezing that way, it doesn't seem to be working on TS2].
Anyway, sorry for the text wall, but I figure it's more helpful than giving pieces of information from time to time.
Hope someone can help, and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
