Graphics Glitching in Windows 7

visionviper · 27-10-2009, 06:24 PM

I am using a nVidia 8800GTX (191.07 drivers) and I have a graphics glitching problem.

Before the glitching

What I see #1

What I see #2

When I get into the elevator the game will slow down a whole bunch then freeze. I tried calling EA and I was told the only operating system the game is supported on 32-bit operating systems (I am using 64bit) so I am SOL unless I want to dual boot XP. The guy I was talking to was really nice (he said basically his hands were tied) and suggested coming onto the forums to see if anyone had a similar problem as me.

So, any suggestions for fixing this? I have tried running it in compatibility mode.

(NOTE: I know the stickied tech help says it won't work but I did have it working at one point, quite well actually. EA is too cheap to make a patch though to ensure compatibility)

Hiya

Unfortunately we are not able to see the images that you linked to. Could you possibly upload them to an imagehost and post them in the thread so that people can see what happens for you?

No problem. I edited the first post with the new links.
