My computer was being lame and BSOD'd a lot for no real reason. I had tested every single piece of hardware and handed it over to my boyfriend who maintains testing at WD (Which knowing him, explains a lot, really) and everything was normal so I just wrote it off as random bad driver/stupid corruption and reformatted the drive. That isn't my problem. My problem is I'm getting that stupid black loading screen with the funky animation.
I googled a bit and found the EA BBS thread were mass amounts of fanbois were bitching about it when WA came out and the official EA solution appeared to be don't use anything from MTS, nuke it with Revo and reinstall. Did that, didn't work.
This combined with my previous episode of rotini baby while TS3 was working perfectly, I'm wondering if it's not the game and my HDD is just majorly fucked and screwing with things. I'm inclined to think it's the game or something my game affects though since other than aforementioned BSOD'ing, I've had no problems outside of sims related activities. I'm also content with it being my fault, but from what I can tell from the BBS it's something to do with registry errors and patches.
I have all ep/sp + patches and my rig is above recommended specs. No cc at the moment.
