SimCity 4 + dgVoodoo2 causing driver crashes

[Simaka 0]

With the newest version (May 4) from this site I experienced two things:

1) Buildings (specially larger buildings) plopp a little up/down when changing zoom.

2) After some time the graphics aren't updated anymore. The game runs in the background, I can click stuff and can hear the UI confirmation sounds but the graphics stuck. After a short while of doing so the game crashes (Exception log as appendix).

I set all config things like the install advices. Game is 4GB patched.

Nvidia GTX 4070 TI Super, Driver version: 576.88 (July 1).

First, update the drivers that are outdated

Then make sure that both dgvoodoo and SC4 use the Nvidia GPU.

Also I recommend you upgrade to DirectX 11 if you are using DirectX 12 and you can do that in the dgvoodoo control panel

Thx, I'll try the new drivers and DX11.

After further testing: the "plopping" isn't an issue of DXVoodoo it happens without too.
