I have a Radeon 9200SE. If the latest driver is 4.12, why can I search for version 4.5 on the 'Net and get hits?.... Interesting. I'll run with 4.12, but so far it still does not fix my texture anomalies. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knows the latest version of Catalyst from ATI that is out there. ATI's website says the most recent driver for Windows XP and a Radeon card is 4.12 Other websites and even the SIMS2 release notes mentions a Catalyst 4.5. Who is right... and where would I get the most recent driver if not from the manufacturers website???

I have been attempting to run SIM2 since Christmas. I have more than recommended system requirements, and I am still having problems. I have talked to both EA Games and ATI (Radeon) about my issues, but neither can offer a solution - very strange.... The best they can offer is "Download the latest drivers" - which I have done. With regards to the DirectX problems... I have found that if the acceleration speed on my graphics card is set too low (say, to BASIC, as what was recommended by EA Games) I get the DirectX error. If I incease the speed to "FULL" acceleration - the error goes away. The game need to use it, so the system must have it activated to work. If you get past that error, and actually get into the game, perhaps you can help me solve the problem I am having with missing textures and anomolous flashing lines everywhere. Thanks.

I am having the same problems... I am running Windows XP and I have a Radeon 9200 graphics card I have tried everything EA Games has suggested.. Up[censored] graphics, deleting non-core processes, reducing my graphics card acceleration. I have tried everything the ATI folks have suggested... Up[censored] DirectX, overriding my refresh rate to 60 HZ (Apparently Windows XP has a limitation), reducing my resolution Nothing seems to work. Any more ideas?
