Hello,

The NVIDIA Geforce G210, NVIDIA Geforce 210, or simply the NVIDIA 210 (it has many names depending on what naming scheme is used, so the 210 is the same as the G210 - @crinrict ) is a graphics card that is many years old now, and is probably on the borderline of the minimum requirements, so is likely the source of the problem.

A recent patch has seemed to reveal which graphics cards/chips are too weak or borderline for running the game, and causing the simmers with this underpowered hardware to suddenly experience problems. I believe there may be a newer graphics driver available, so you can try that, however there isn't much you can do it seems.

I'm sorry for this inconvenience,

Cody

Anyway Thanks a lot again Cody. I wish you a merry Christmas🙂
