Hi @ZeeGee
Not only did I do the form filling I got in touch directly with Nvidia customer services to explain what the apparent issue was and how it had ruined my game not to mention the hours/days/weeks/months I had spent trying to fix my digital game over and over in one way or another..They told me they will look into it and get back to me but I wont hold my breath I have a case number so I will leave it a little while and if they have not got back in touch within 2 weeks I will be getting back in touch with them :)
I consider myself to be reasonably techie minded but I need time without other distractions to reinstall my S3 digital game through Origin then work my way through all those steps to see if I can fix my game and to be honest if i do that and it does not work I think it will send me into madness the amount of times I have tried to fix my game issue lol I will keep you updated as I go..
Hi @GraceyManor
Heck that must have you so frustrated and me explaining I know how it feels is not going to help any. I did once have a card issue way back around 2012 when I just started to have desktop PC's built so i could play sims 3 with less issues however with me it was a sims graphical error (as always for some reason) and when the card got changed my issue went away. Is it possible (perish the thought) you could be unlucky enough to have 2 bad graphics cards in a row? I can only go by my own experience of changing and updating Nvidia graphic cards 3 times since 2012 after the one bad card experience and all my issues appear to have been since I updated to windows 10 from 7 which only got worse with each upgrade for whatever reason. I can play 3 fine on disc on a separate win 7 hard drive installed in my same desktop build which I do not allow to connect to the internet so if I can play okay on 7 it appears my issue with the game could be with 10 or something that touches the internet somehow. (which I have been unable to resolve to date) or otherwise i would expect it to effect my win 7 game? Could you follow the same instructions for Nvidia graphic cards as @ZeeGee outlines in the above post as that could provide you with a process of elimination although I am not sure what brand of graphics card you are currently using? If it's not Nvidia I would say your only choice is to try and resolve the issue with Windows 10. I sincerely hope you mange to get it fixed as it's awful when we spend our available time constantly trying to fix the game rather than being able to enjoy just playing it :)
