Problem with Taxi

Post by vesselle »

i'm having a problem with my current bloodlines game.
i'm ready to leave santa monica, but when i get the map for the taxi-cab travel, the cursor flickers off and on very quickly when it hovers over my destination. because of this, i can't click it and leave.

the crash log indicates this:
"Write to location 21391000 caused an access violation."

i'm running the latest official patch. please don't tell me to install the unofficial patch as i couldn't run the game with it. it busted the game completely and i had to uninstall everything and start from scratch.

thanks for any advice you can give.

The visible cursor you see is just a visual representation of the system cursor, which is a pair of numbers that the operating system keeps track of.

Have you just tried putting the cursor over your destination and clicking regardless of how it looks? I think that will work.

Mine does odd things with the visible cursor sometimes, too (since I got my new graphic card), flickering included. I find that I can simply ignore it and it will go back to normal sooner or later. In the meantime, I just use whatever I can see to figure out what I'm going to hit when I click.
