It includes the loading screens, Neighborhood Selection, Menus, Character building, everything etc.... What I've Done: I have tried first off to revert back to older graphics drivers but none worked that were archived for the geforce fx 5200.... I have also tried patching the Sims 2 with the patcher hoping that maybe they had fixed the problem... Ive also read a gazillion forum postings on the problem but have found no solution... Help:dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead:
We had a similar issue (maybe?) when we upgraded an older computer in our household to an FX 5200 videocard -- in some of the games everything would go RED when we would log into a newer generation game. We tried various drivers with no luck. We had to go into cmos/bios and lower the AGP setting down to 2X (it was at 4X) and after that the card ran ok and the games played fine.
Thank you brash, unfortunately in my case it didn't fix the problem but it worked for one of my other games haha.... so thanks!
