I have bought the sim3 game and the late night version. Recently, I encountered the lagging and crashing problem whenever I played the late night version. When playing the game, the computer always hang up and stops functioning, it will stays on the same screen and I cant press anything, but the sound in still on. This problem happens every few minutes. It is very annoying, please help me to solve it. Thank you very mcuh.
Hello,
Okay. I think you may have to download drivers through the Fujitsu website, which is a bit harder.
After you click the link, go Notebook > S series > SH572 > Windows 7 64-bit, then download the Video driver. Feel free to update any other drivers you feel necessary, but definitely the Video driver.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody
Hello,
Are you playing at low settings? If so, it would seem that your graphics chip can no longer handle The Sims 3 with the added patches and EPs added - this tends to happen due to inefficiencies in the way the game is coded, which means systems start to struggle more.
One last thing you can try is closing programs in Task Manager that are not needed before playing (just don't close Windows processes!), such as Java and Adobe updaters, or closing down browser windows.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody
