Sim City's 4 automatic display settings

[intel16 0]

 My Display can support resoultions of  1152 x 648, 1280 x 720, 1776 x 1000 and 1920 x 1080, however the default screen resoultion of sim city 4 is 1024 x 768 and well my screen refuses to display anything at this resolution, i have tried changing he defult resolution in the config-log file however it just resets back to what it was before. When starting sim city 4 all i get is a blank screen, i get sound but thats because i have routed it through surround sound system, also the cursor displays and is moveable, 

this has led me to believe that there is something resolution wise going on or graphical.

i have got the deluxe edition and have the latest update

You will need to set a custom resolution. There is a easer way to do it than the cofnig log.

Heres How:

1. Right click on the shortcut you use to start sc4 and pick properties

2. A window should pop up, look for the target line in the window

3. To the very end of the line, add this

-CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -intro:off   

4. Press Apply and Close the window. Then start the game   

That will make the game run in a custom resolution (you can change the resolution numbers if you want)   

After putting that in your full target line should be (If Sc4 is installed in the default location):   

"C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -intro:off
