Feel free to give it a try, and then start up the game again. It was written for Sims 3, but this setting in particular:Ĭould be useful for you too. Have you also - at some point - changed your Vertical Sync option to "ON", in your graphics card control panel ? See the topic here: And now, in this second time, I finally can choose windowed mode and simply click apply without changing anything else.Īfter this the game works in windowed mode and the number of crashes seems to be lower, but I need to try it for a longer time. Then once the resolution has been properly changed to a lower one go back to graphics settings for a second time. Clicking windowed mode the graphics change didn't have any effect. That's where I had the problem most times. Then click to apply changes without click anything else. I have a 1366x768 screen and it worked in 1280x720. Set screen resolution to something with lower height and width. I managed to make it work following these steps: I 'allowed' your other comment, because it was more of a suggestion or insight, rather than a new problem.Īs soon as people start having issues of their own, though, we ask them to open new topics on their own (or sometimes we split the messages up), to make the threads easier to follow.Īll the crashes with Fullscreen remain but I found a way to switch back to windowed mode. But other than that, no worries about posting it elsewhere before. I'll need to think about other solutions to that issue too. I believed I had DirectX installed (or how I played all those games until now?) but does it mean I don't?Īlright, can you "undo" what you did (rename the file I mentioned before, back to what it originally was), and try the game again ? The only difference between both games folders is that Sims Castaway Stories also includes a "Localisation" file. I just did what you said in both games (Castaway and Life Stories) and look what I get. I wrote this in that thread because the problem when I tried to reach that village market, but I guess I had to wrote all in a thread since the beginning.

Forced to stay in full screen, I can't change settings and the game crashes when I go somewhere. I've gotta say that now I'm having the same problem in the Sims Life Stories as well. So is there any trick that can help me to get the windowed mode again?

Now I think my problem perhaps would be solved if I'm able to switch to Windows mode again, but I just don't know how to do so. But logically I'm following the game missions and I can't keep advancing if I don't reach the Village market. I've been able to play some hours in Full Screen and good graphics without any crash, since that Simian City issue to this Village Market issue. The game crashes when I'm about to reach the village market, so I'm stuck again. The second problem is just what the thread says. Because this reason my last gameplays have been quite short. My problem is that I'm not allowed to switch from a window to another WHILE the Sims is on. If I just close the game all apps work perfectly again. This problem only happens when I play the Sims Castaway. And I don't think I've got a problem with Windows or any other app. After clicking that windows key I'm stuck in a black screen that is only repaired when I go back to the Sims game. No matter what I try I cannot see any other app, I only see them in the windows bar. The windows key only works to show me the Windows bar and a black screen, but that's all. I did it with this Sims Castaway game the first days without any problem but now I cannot do it anymore. And all this without having to load the game from zero which is much slower. It allows allows me to visit my email or FB to see if someone messaged me. This allows my processor, graphics card, my fan and my eyes to rest a bit. Typically when I play games, even if full screen, I take little pauses clicking the Windows key. which to be honest visually looks better but it leads me to two problems: Yes, I can go to settings but doesn't matter what I do, whenever I click apply nothing changes. And the weirdest part is that the game doesn't allow me to change the graphic settings anymore. The game was in fullscreen again and with high quality graphics. And that day I played around one hour without any problem, but the game crashed suddenly for no known reason.Īfter the crash I re-opened the game and for some reason I don't know my graphic settings were reversed. But I solved the problem switching to the windowed mode, this allowed me to continue. The first time I had those crashes when I tried t visit the "Simian city" (not the village market). It's weird but I'm having the same (or nearly the same) problem again.
