Sims 3: When playing, Graphic card "stops working" after the new update, windows 7
After the new patch some day ago, my sims 3 keeps chrashing. First is was after playing several hours, now it's as soon as the game is loaded. The screen gets black, seems to try to adjust and then ...
Some computers with below minimum requirements may play the game but how well and for how long remains to be seen. Intel graphics chips are not gamers choice. Intel tends to provide stable video drivers and are NOT made for hard graphical gaming. The Intel graphics chip has come a long way but still is more multi media then gaming. If your chip is Intel then you have to go to Intel site. But if your computer is a laptop I recommend starting at the manufacturer's web site as laptop may have unique drivers. Drivers from the chip manufacturer are call reference driver and may not support all the laptop was made to do. Welcome to the whorld of computer gaming.
