custom resolution

[guitounet 0]

Hi all,

I'm facing pbs trying to customise my screen resolution. I typed in the Desk shortcut target input box :

"C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1440x900x32

And when i launched the program, it was said : "couldn't lauch the process"

then i edited  Graphic Rules.sgr :

 

set CursorBW    0

set CursorColor 1

set Software    0

set Hardware    1

# set Screen_800x600    0

# set Screen_1024x768   1

# set Screen_1280x1024  2

# set Screen_1440x900  3

set Depth_16    0

set Depth_32    1

...

Numbers (atLeast, atMost):

      cpuSpeed = 1894

      memory = 1024

      freeMemory = 624

      screenWidth = 1440

      screenHeight = 900

...

rule "Standard software"

   hasNo hardwareDriver

  

   option $VisualEffects   $Low

   option $CarsSims        $Low

   option $Shadows         $Low

   option $CloudsFog       $Off

   option $Waves           $Off

   option $Translucency    $On

   option $Cursor          $CursorBW

   option $Driver          $Software

   option $ScreenSize      $Screen_1440x900

   option $ScreenDepth     $Depth_16

...

 

rule "Standard hardware"

   option $VisualEffects   $Low

   option $CarsSims        $Low

   option $Shadows         $Low

   option $CloudsFog       $Off

   option $Waves           $On

   option $Translucency    $On

   option $Cursor          $CursorColor

   option $Driver          $Hardware

   option $ScreenSize      $Screen_1440x900

   option $ScreenDepth     $Depth_16

...

partialRule

      # Enable higher screen resolution if user has decent computing power.

      atLeast memory          256

      atLeast cpuSpeed       1600

      option $ScreenSize     $Screen_1440x900

   end

...

And it didn't work since when the game is launched i can not choose the 1440*900 resolution in the settings

What should i do ?

Make sure your monitor will support the resolution you choose.

It does since its resolution is 1440*900

Your posted syntax looks correct, if the target syntax is the same, then try adding -intro:off

Did you start the game with the shortcut after you added the tag?
