Crashes way to much!

[un1 41]

I need a lot of help! All of my settings are on low and I'm working on turtle speed. I load SimCity 4  after the game crashes for the seventh time IN A ROW! I only get to play for 5 seconds and then the game turns of again! HELP!

If you have custom objects, or mods, or anything, the problem might be with the dependencies, if not...check if your computer mets the minimum requirements for the game.

Actualy the city it always stops on is one of my very rare cities, it doesn't have any custom buildings. (Legend Inlet, 68,000, mostly water, part of Atlantis CMA) Also my computer is up to requirements! I don't understand?

well then I don't either...

Help! At this rate I may not be able to play for a long time!!!

Well, I guess you're then part of the dozens, or even hundreds of us, who have their game crashes all the time and not being able to explain or resolve it...

There are some things you could try, though.

1 – Check your graphic settings, or if you have one, the settings for your Graphics / Video Card.

2 – SC4 sometimes also crashes due to sound issues and bugs. Check, as with the above, your sound options, and sound card (if you have one).

3 – Make sure all your drivers, software, etc. are correctly installed and / or up-to-date.

4 – If the above fails, go to a dark corner and cry while sucking your thumb.

In the end, you could try to contact EA Customer Service, but don't expect any miracles, of course. It might help, though – after all, they did make the game, so who knows it better than them?

Hope this gets resolved... Although, I've tried all the above, yet it doesn't stop my game from crashing at random intervals. My computer's all pockmarcked now... (guess why?).

I'll try!

The sound bug worked, though I cant save now, of course it crashes!!!
