I bought Simcity Societies for $10 the other day, which I was pleased about as it came with a free copy of Simcity 3000, of which I had lost my original copy a few years ago.
Anyway, apart from the fact that Societies makes my Geforce 9800GTX+ struggle on moderately high settings, it is incredibly unstable from a graphics standpoint.
For example, randomly after anything between 30 seconds to 10 minutes the game will freeze for a few seconds, and then resume normal gameplay but with corrupted texture colours.
Does anyone else experience this?
I am able to fix the corruption by alt-tabbing out and back in, but obviously it's an issue with the game and I would like to know if there is a solution. I've checked out the forums for the game but they were no help.
No, there is nothing wrong with my graphics card and I have tried different versions of the Forceware, running XP 32bit. The card is not overheating and I don't experience any graphical anomalies in any other games that I play.
