Copy of the relevant bits of the description: This video was made to document graphical glitches when running SimCity 4 on Intel Arc, I thought I'd document this since I'm probably the only person in the world to run this game on such hardware.  Now these bugs are to be expected since SimCity 4 uses a very old version of DirectX, DirectX 8.1 to be exact and the Intel Xe-HPG instruction set architecture only natively supports DirectX 12 and Vulkan. Now Intel's Arc cards are not the only cards that have issues with running this game as nVida's RTX 30 series dropped native support DirectX 8 and similar glitches can be seen when running SimCity 4 on those cards as well. dxvk is known to solve such graphical issues on the RTX 30 series, however I have yet to try out dxvk on this game. I will post a link to a Simtropolis talking about these issues and my attempts to fix them.   Since then I've tried dxvk but haven't really played around with it and so far while the bugs still happen, they happen less frequently. Note to mods I'm not sure where to post it so I posted it here.
