Why does my game still keeps crashing?

I know there are quite a lot of topics. But reading trought them would not really help me so. Here I go

On my old pc, my game keep crashing all the time even with low quality, because of the bad quality of the PC, I thought.

Now, on my new pc, a pc that is 25 times better, it still keeps crashing.

Why? How? What must I do to fix it?

See my profile for my computer settings, if I am right.

Most game crashes are caused by faulty, or conflicting custom content.  Since it has happened on two of your computers, that's what I would suspect, and not the computer hardware.

What kind of custom content then? Because there is nothing in my plug in map, the day this game keeps crashing.

With no plugins, try a new city, in a new region.

[Herdervriend 46]

Uhm xD

No plug ins.

Just installed.

Already tried everything.

(Set quality high, low and so on)

It just doesn't matter...It will keeps crashing.

Sorry to say this but damn loading is slow on this site:S

If your new computer came with a wide screen monitor, you can try adding a custom resolution to the "shortcut target".

"C:\Program Files\Simcity 4\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1440x900x32 -f -intro:off

-w = windowed
-f = full screen
-r = resolution

Add a space after the quotation marks of the path. and one after each tag.  Use a resolution your monitor can display.

You must start the game with the shortcut at least once for the change to take effect.

hmm...what is your CPU?

if your processor is multi-core, disable all but one core once you see the region screen when you start up. do this by ctrl+alt+del, selecting the exe in processes and then affinity. my game kept crashing for no reason as qwell, and this has solved my problem.

I play on a computer I built myself a few years ago using an AMD single core processor and Windows XP - a very stable platform - yet I'm now suffering endless crashes to desktop (dozens of them) when I try to terraform. It's so bad - I just tossed out a whole region, copied a new one from Maxis on C drive - and still I can't terraform. (I've neither added nor deleted anything from my plugin files lately.)

This game can really get on one's nerves.

I suppose you've tried this, but did you change rendering from Hardware to Software?

When I chose Hardware, the game crashed all the time, even with updated drivers installed. When I changed rendering to Software, the problem was solved..
