The graphics rules is set up correctly for you as far as I can see.

Oh by the way - do you have the game running as admin and what compatibility have you set it to?

the graphic rules maker fixed it

So the whole problem was that my grpahic card was not in the database so it didn't get hardware acceleration but with this tool i added it and fixed everything

@joluke - Glad to hear that it fixed it for you. Generally the graphics card on the database doesn't affect things.

Hi Kiri,

Thank you so much for your dedication. I followed your instructions about this being a directX problem and went to EA Help. I confirmed that all DirectX features for my video card were enabled, but I still can't run the game.

I gess the problem should be elsewhere only I am clueless on how to identity or solve it.

You are priceless. Thank you.

@celebkiriedhel
i think i finally fixed it! i downloaded the graphic rules maker thing that leefish posted and now my coastline in my town looks better and more smooth.

thank you sososo much for your time. i really appreciate all the help since i would be without a paddle without the tutorial. c: i think it's all set up and good for me now, so i'll be off! thanks again.

You are a really nice guy for helping people out, but no matter what I do the game doesn't want to work... tried this setting that are "the best" but it's the same as before, I have to exit at the loading screen because it doesn't go anywhere. Why am I cursed...

@Vel!x Did you try the Graphics Rules program linked? If you did and it still doesn't work then really it is outside the scope of this thread.
