Sims 3 white lines
I’ve been playing sims 3 on my new laptop! It’s nvidia GeForce gtx 1650 but in the game, my furniture has white lines that flicker and those lines can be seen on clothes as well. I don’t know what to...
@SunflowerSimmies It's certainly possible that the issue is the cable, at least in your case. It could in theory be the type of connection, but since so many people use DisplayPort, it seems unlikely that something about DP itself is the cause. Regardless, your desktop graphics card has an HDMI port, so you could try using the HDMI cable with the desktop.
While you're experimenting, it's also worth setting your monitor to run at different refresh rates, e.g. not just the 165 Hz that you were using when you ran the dxdiag. It might be annoying to have to play at 60 or 72 Hz, but please at least see whether it makes a difference. I think I suggested this before, but it's worth testing again in combination with the max power setting and the HDMI cable.
I have an HDMI cable and the issue still occurs.
I just bought a new cable because my game was causing my monitor to go on an doff upon loading for some reason.
Bought a brand new cable and that issue is fixed, but the white lines are still there and are showing up in my screenshots.☹️
(they came back after awhile, so unfortunately that fix didn't work long)
@graceymanors Did you happen to install a new GPU driver, or maybe update Windows, around the time the white lines came back? You can check the Reliability Monitor for updates: it will show the date and time of each update going back 30 days.
