You might not need this, or you might want a different resolution once you get in the game, so you can play with these settings to see what works best for you.ДЇor now, the most important thing is setting the game to use software rendering, and the CPU count set to 1 will hopefully reduce crashing as your city grows bigger. You need to set this to a resolution that your monitor supports.

Click Save on the window, then try launching SC4 againД®xplanation of the switches:В -d oft sets the game to use software rendering В -intro:off turns off the intro video (which I guess looks really weird and stretchy) В -CPUCount:1 sets the game to only use one CPU (I know - it seems a shame to waste all your other processing power, but SC4 doesn't know what to do with the other cores) -f sets display to full screen mode В -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 allows you to set the game to render to a custom resolution of 1920x1080.

After you paste the command line switches, you'll need to remove the space & quotes before it will work (or just type the switches in directly).

IMPORTANT EDIT - for some reason, I can't stop the first switch changing into an emoji, so I added a space between the : and soft and enclosed it in quotation marks.

'-d: soft' -intro:off -CPUCount:1 -f -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32.

In the Command Line Arguments box, copy and paste the following (just the text, no additional spaces, quotation marks or bullet points).

Click on the Advanced Launch Options tab.

Uncheck the box for Enable Origin In Game.

First, in Origin, right-click SimCity 4 and choose Game Properties.

So - let's see if we can get it to launch.

It's actually remarkable to me that after almost 20 years, this SimCity 4 is still able to be played and enjoyed and still has a pretty large fan base. The main thing we're trying to do is configure things to work on a modern computer. There are also a few command line switches we can add in the Origin interface, to help this old game run. In addition to trying all the compatibility settings on the exe, try disabling Origin in-game. You've done a lot of troubleshooting, I'm sorry it hasn't fixed it but at least it eliminates a few things. Hi I moved your post to the Other SimCity Games forum, since it's about SimCity 4.
