NOTE: This is mainly for NVIDIA users. Sorry :/
So, I think all of us simmers with modern hardware have sat in front of our screens having the time of our lives to only be greeted with this disgusting thing:
Pure evil, right? How about this?
I think we’ve all sat in front of our screens day and night hunting for fixes, in which some work, some don’t. Some do for three days, some just… prevent the application from starting at all.
Some of us have even gone as far as to buy completely new computers with older operating systems like Windows 7, Windows XP. Some of us have bought new hardware and still, nothing has changed. People are wasting their money, time and sanity to fix this issue when in fact… there is a reliable, quick and definite fix.
Thanks to @episims and their EXTREMELY helpful guide, I managed to fix the flashing and crashing in my game and have managed to exceed my old CC limit of 3GB. But the one thing in their guide that I want to focus on here is this:
This line isn’t here, you have to manually add it in yourself. Navigate to it by hitting CTRL + F and type some of the sentences that appear here.
Now, I’m not entirely sure what it does but it did indeed prevents these errors from occurring. One of the huge issues with TS2 is that cards with huge amounts of VRAM like the NVIDIA RTX 2080 (8GB Video Memory) consistently have issues with the game and the crashing and flashing is bound to be worse.
However, that is not the case now. Crazysim, the one who created the DXVK guide and has helped tremendously in the community to fix the issue, tested this fix on their 2080 and the game ran perfectly - no issues. So, to those with awesome ass hardware and wanna play the game with no issue - HERE YOU GO!
Before bringing this to the attention of others on Discord and Tumblr, I managed to help my small circle of simblr friends with this fix and they all said that their issues are now solved, which is incredible! I myself have gone out of my way spending money on new computers and hardware just for this game to run and now that there is finally a good, definite fix genuinely warms my heart.
The last thing I want to say is don’t use the graphics rules maker after applying that fix as the GRM will revert it and wipe that line out (causing the errors to happen again).
If you made it to the bottom of this guide, wow, I can’t believe you stuck around that long. Good luck with the fix, let me know how you all get on and finally thank you @episims for bringing that one line to our attention! :D
