Graphics using Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

[IanEddison]

I have installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on my RS604 and after 30 mmins play when the game graphics are getting complex the graphics become totally garbled with patterns etc.

On closing and returning to Windows XP desktop the graphics breaks up in some places, particularly when you move a window with the mouse.

I've downloaded latest Sony Graphics drivers and ROller Coatser patch but the problem still occurs.

re-booting solves the problems until I use the game again.

Any thoughts from anyone?

Try the graphics drivers from the OEM site - they should work OK with your desktop machine. Keep a copy of the Sony drivers in case you need to go back to them.

I have installed the latest drivers and the problem is the same. It now happens with other programs that have demanding graphics.

I am beginning to suspect a hardware problem.

It sounds like it might be heat related. Make sure all of the fans (inside & outside) are running and give them a blast with an air duster.

What airblaster would you recomend Rob?

Well, Kee-Lo I think compressed air should be fine. I recommend Lindy Electronics on Amazon.co.uk - I bought mine for £7.75 and used it on my VAIO and PlayStation 2. The dust it removed is incredible. Both run VERY quierly now...

Try THIS

EDIT: Oops I mean "quietly" not "quierly"
