Default issue with not responding and restarting loop - windows 10
Hi guys I wondered if anyone had this issue. The game works great and it's beautiful I have a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX card. Earlier I had an issue where my game stopped responding and in windows 7 of course I could manually close it, but with 10 the task manager wouldn't work because I can only play the game in full screen and yes I do have the fixes. I had no choice but to restart my computer. Then it put me into a restart loop and I had to contact my computer support and they told me my best option would be to completely remove the game, which I told them was totally not an option. Does anyone else have this issue and if you do, how do you deal with it? The tech told me when I asked if shutting the system down would've been a better option, to just remove the game because it is "too old". I know you guys play it on 10, just as I do.

Update - everything worked fine for a while until the problem happened again this time I logged off and on and now I'm unable to play the game at all, even after restarting the computer. The game loads on the loading screen but then crashes before I even get to select a neighborhood.

Are you running the game with old XP compatibility and running it as an administrator? For some reason it makes the game mostly workable on Win10.
