    Hi all! I just bought SC4 Deluxe Edition and installed it on a G5 2.5Mhz quad with 2.5 GB RAM and nVidia Geforce 6600 with 256 VRAM and OS X v10.4.2. I thought this would be more than enough power to handle the game, and was surprised that SC4 runs very slowly on it. In fact, I started with the first tutorial and it hangs on me about halfway through every time. If I just play the regular game without the tutorial it's a little better, but still much slower than I thought it would be. Any advice on how to make it run a little smoother?

    Also, according to the manual there are cities installed in the game that I can import into my region. When I click to import city they do show up in a list, but when I click to choose one of those pre-made cities it doesn't work. Do they have to be in a special place in the folder hierarchy?

    Finally, I went to simcity4.com to register my game, only to discover that I didn't even get a serial number with my game! There's nothing anywhere, not on the disk, the case, or the box. I sent a letter to Aspyr about that; I'll see what they say in reply.

    Anyway, I'm glad I found this place! I had Sim City when it came out for Nintendo many years ago and always thought about it through the years. I hope I can have another positive experience this time around!20.gif

    Thanks for any help!

    It's not your computer, it's 10.4, I think just about everyone with Tiger is experiencing problems right now, there is a thread in here about it somewhere, don't know if Aspyr or Apple are doing anything about it...

    Don't know anything about the imported cities, maybe someone else has some info on that...
