Re: 1.50 crashes

Did you remove your CC ? Did you try lowering the graphic settings to see if that makes a difference ? I'm unsure about your chip cause I have no idea how good newer chips with > 500 MB of dedicated memory actually are. It's still a chip that gets a lot of pressure.

I'll be checking with some more tech savy people and get back to you.

    CC = Custom Content

    You might have a good processor and enough RAM but only a graphic chip and not a card (unless you have another one in there). They are lower in performance then cards.

    Try the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/ to make sure you have no 3rd party content in the game and see if it then stops crashing. If not, try lowering the graphic options.

    Are you willing to try a third party tool ?

    There's a tool called the crash log analyzer (just google). It can give you some indication what's wrong and maybe point us in the right direction.

    Never seen anything like that. Are you bypassing the launcher ?

    Seems the game still does not recognizes your other card.

    Should I post this at MTS or do you want to do it ? Ford should be able to assist you better.

    Try if it also crashes when you bypass the launcher and start the file ts3w.exe

    Then I'm sorry, I really don't know what else to try.

    Maybe someone else has an idea for you.

    I posted in the comments of the tool, last page.

    Ford was rather unsure as well. Maybe you could post yourself. It's easier then going back and forth.
