Gameplay Error(s) I loaded The Sims 3 onto my laptop, I launch the game, and a runtime error message pops up. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Program: C:\program files\electronic arts\EADM\core.exe I can still "play" the game, but all the visual information is missing. For example in Create A Sim, all the menu's exist, but you can't see your character. Or if you just go straight to gameplay, only the menu's appear, but no 3-d environment (sims, town, houses, absolutely nothing). I believe my computer has all the requirements to play the game, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the runtime error that only pops up when I launch The Sims 3. Please Help....
Install this for the Visual C++ Runtime Error. It should correct it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...34-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en As for gameplay, could you post up your system specs? A dxdiag file would help a lot
Those drivers are 5 years old! Try installing this. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownlo...spx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.1&lang=English Also, update to SP3.
