So, as usual, I updated my game (Nov 13 update) after opening Origin and getting that update notification.
Before the update, I had edge scrolling set on "low" and had no problem whatsoever. I play for hours without any issues. I've had TS4 on this laptop for over two years now, and I've never had this problem before.
Anyway, immediately after the update, I ran the game as usual and the moment I loaded a household and moved around, the lower bit of my screen started flickering and had that awful black stripey glitchy thing on screen. It scared the crap out of me, so I checked by opening another app, and switching to my desktop, and the screen was fine. It was the game.
I consulted previous questions here, and one user suggested I lower the edge scrolling. The only option lower than "low" was to turn it off completely. I started the game again, and true enough the glitchy thing was gone. BUT, the graphics look awful. :/
I tried creating a completely new game (new game folder and all, no CC's and mods) but the same thing happens.
I'm playing on a Mid-2015 Macbook Pro (Retina). I know, Macs aren't exactly the best gadgets for playing video games on, but the odd bit is that I never really had an issue with my game until now.
Did the update cause the glitch, or is it something I might have done?
Help out a noob, please?
Thank you!
- 6 years ago@duchessofnowhere Omg the same is happening to me. One day before the university update I was playing on very-high graphics settings and my game was running smoothly. I don’t know what it could be because I play other games but the flickering just happens with the sims 4 ☹️
