Hi Kiri,
I like to think that I'm not stupid, and that I can figure out most computer related issues myself. However, when I'm totally honest, I'm losing the war with technology. It's changing faster than I can keep up with.
So recently, one of my Radeon HD 6870 cards took the bullet, and I was in need of something new. I got me an ASUS GTX 1050Ti, this time. (nVidia GPU, of course). You can imagine how the game went all kinds of crazy with that.
A quick look at the FAQs in this section, though, taught me how from this --config-log.txt section:
... I could make this line for Video Cards.sgr:
... and add it to the nVidia section of that file. Now all I needed was a good Graphics Rules.sgr. After downloading the basic "Graphics Rules - NVIDIA" from your page, I found that the highest available resolution seemed to be 1600x1200 (my system allows 1920x1200), and that I couldn't set Shadows to "High" without getting black boxes under all my sims. However, after simply changing:
into:
... both those problems seem to be solved. Apparently, a Texture Fix version was not required.
So, just some very well-written FAQs and a single file download were all that I needed to help myself and get TS2 running correctly again.
Thank you for the great work that you've done here!
If MOAR things were made this simple on-line, then we probably wouldn't appreciate how special it is what you've done here. So maybe we shouldn't wish for that.![Smile]( "Smile")
Thanks again!
