Simulation stops while scrolling...

[edwardwindsor 0]

Basically,

When I scroll or zoom in or out the simulation comes to a halt.

Can I fix this?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to fix this.  I also think this is not a bug, but is done to lower the amount of processing done by the computer.  Usually crashes occur when moving around in big cities to quickly.  I may be wrong, but this is what I've learned from playing for a few years.

Nope ur exactly right.. scroll and zoom lock simulation..it is worse the less horsepower ur pc has but still happens even for very good machines .. expecially if your city gets large-ish..

if ur running ATI gfx card i do know this is a driver issue with ATI cards and the game. i doubt this is the problem but it is documented in your readme for SC4. i doubt thats the problem, and is due to lower powerful machines, it happens.

Welcome to the conversation.

Even if you had a THz processor, it couldn't handle all the work to continue the simulation and scroll the GUI at the same time.  Suspending the simulator is what I would do if I had to handle this, because it makes sense to pause while changing the view.
