Sims 3 Color & Graphics Issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been trying to install The Sims 3 for the last couple of days, and it hasn't been opening. Now that I've finally figured out what i've been doing wrong there's still a major problem. I've installed using playonlinux, and when i open (I use the launcher made by playonlinux, not the actual sims 3 launcher)The screen might turn white, but it always turns black before the green logo appears. The graphics are perfect and it seems as if everything is working. It goes through the entire startup "movie" with no problem. 

When the game begins to load it's as if someone's messed with the colors on the screen. All i see is the green loading bar, and some moving light blue text underneath. The rest of the screen is white, and it's way too bright. I can't read any text due to it's blocky, blobish form. After the game loads and what would be the start screen appears (it's also bright and blocky) a message box appears. I think it must be some kind of warning because when i click the left option underneath it disappears for a second and comes back. When i click the right option however, the game closes.

 I don't know how much help it will be, but i opened the game under playonlinux in the terminal, here's the output:

The last line continues until i click the button that turns off the game. I'm using ubuntu 10.04, and i have both 1.34 & 1.1.42 of wine (is that a problem?) installed. Thanks for any help you can give :) I've included a link to the same question I asked on the ubuntu forms, there are some links there. I really hope they help.
