Hi All, Cracked it, I think I have finally got the game to work, I've just had 90mins game play and the only interruptions was RL, (though now I've probably jinxed it lol) All I've done is turn my Wi-fi connection off and added the game to something called Dragon Gaming Center (its something that game with my laptop) and…

Thanks igazor If I can get a spare moment tomorrow I will try and play again and see what happens. Not sure if its of any significance but the TS3EP11 application icon is now showing as a sheet of paper?? Have a feeling this time round may be user error doh! Minimagic782 :blush:
-
If someone can offer a hint it is much appreciated, will go back to have a look at which programs/ processes could be interferring, or might restart in clean boot mode again and see if I have turned something off that I should havent PS the game was set to run as administrator not sure if that has caused a problem? Kind…

Well at least I'm getting a warning this time, got the classic "The Sims 3 Has stopped working " message after 40 minutes game play this afternoon, so we have eliminated the 20 mins in freeze up and forced re-start. This is the crash report if someone can help me translate, please note the game is set to run in…

Phew, I initially thought they all had niggles, bit of an update though, thanks to a helpful hint from @chesterbigbird, the freezing within the first 20mins and then able to play again after reload may now be a thing of the past, just got to do some more testing and elimination on my next day off. Sending virtual boxes of…

Well I'm just checking in, have been able to play for quite a while over the last few days, though only after an initial freeze up after 20mins, then I restarted the game (didn't need to fully restart laptop to shut game down), and managed to get at least 2 or 3 hours in. Have installed and used @igazor's suggestion of MC…

Thanks @igazor :)

Hi @igazor I've been on to the website and posted, I hope I've done it ok, will look into to downloading MC and trying that possibly tomorrow or at the weekend, thank you for your help. Kind Regards Minimagic782 :smiley:

Thanks igazor, will have a look into when I get home :)

Hi everyone, am on my phone so please excuses any errors, I've been playing in sunset valley, have got Errortrap reinstalled and have a saved error script thingy if anyone can translate for me if that can shed any further light. Will have a look at MC. I did try a vanilla game a while back and that worked, no freezes. The…

Hi All, Well just an update, FPS issue is now resolved thanks to @chesterbigbird, however the freezing bug still seems to be hanging around, tried to play today, got 15 mins game play, freeze, so had to force a restart, loaded up, about 5 to 10 mins game play then froze again and once again had to forcere-start as…

Hi Phoebebebe, Sorry to ask, do you need me to check with chesterbigbird, if so what would be the best way to get hold of them? Kind Regards Minimagic782 :smiley:
-
Hi Phoebe, Yep am in full screen when playing, nvidia panel set to vysync on and even set intel to 60, in game set to 60hz, but in game running at above so not sure if you can suggest anything else to try and get it lower?

Happy 16th Birthday Sims Cannot believe it's been so long, you have been my escape from real -life :smiley:

Well an update, I threw a bit of a strop with my game so uninstalled and reinstalled yesterday, with 3 less stuff packs and a lot less store cc, I then did all of the above steps, including adding my graphics card to the graphics rules, which means deviceconfig is now recognizing it. I tried to play this afternoon, it…
-
Well game update, it's been running for about an hour ish, and although we have had a few stutters, there has been no long term freezing. How do I put my old sims 3 folder back, will change the settings in my saved game and weed through my CC as there is stuff I'll probably never use, will see if I can do the graphics card…
-
I`m beginning to think my laptop is a bit of a conundrum, am currently letting it run a vanilla game, started it, saved and then exited and the restarted and so far we have lasted at least half an hour, so not sure what to do, would like some of my store CC. Will leave it running whilst I get the little one ready for bed
-
Ok have just had the warning pop up on main screen "Warning: Unrecognised Video card Your video card was not found in our database. Your graphics settings have been set as high as possible, but you may wish to reduce them if you are experiencing poor performance " Will go in and reduce them to low, have already pulled…

Hi Phoebebebe, Yep I only have store CC, I have overwatch and debugenabler installed, am in the process of trying the above so will let you know Minimagic782 (Ps sorry am on tablet so please ignore any typos)
-
Hi Igazor, I'm playing in full screen mode and in Sunset Valley, the game was a continued save game, from a new one I started on Saturday, will have a look at other details later as have got to go back to work
-
Hi Phobebebe13 I'm currently playing in Sunset Valley at the moment, will try and run a game with the cc and see how I go, may have a clear out and remove items I don't really use, its all from the store though. Have got half day tomorrow so maybe able to get on and have a look tomorrow.
-
Checked my downloads folder and I have 239 items, about 371mb (if I've worked it out ok?)
-
Hi Phobebebe13, Yep added it to the Control Panel, it is the ts3W.exe file? I have all EP's & Sp' installed and a bit of store CC. I think I have them set low / medium and the resolution is set to 1024 x 768 at 60hz, just trying to translate the options folder to see what I have them at, can post this if its any help?
-
I only have two mods installed nraas debugenabler and overwatch, I did have errortrap installed before I tried to play tonight, but uninstalled it in case there was conflict somewhere and this was causing the problem, but the game still seemed to freeze anyway, if anyone has any ideas what or where the problem may lie or…
