guide How to run SimCity 4 Natively above 1920x1080 in Hardware Mode!!!
Hirman replied to Durfsurn's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Hi, I have tried dxwrapper with my PC ( AMD RX5700 GPU ) and 2560x1440 resolution works for me, yet there are still some stutters/lags ( especially when moving the camera ) like in other lower resolutions. I decided to try DgVoodoo with lastest version 2.72 with much better results than dxwrapper. DgVoodo is wrapper which converts DirectX 7 used by SimCity 4 to DirectX 11 or 12. Download DgVoodo2, unpack it and from /MS/x86 copy files into your SimCity 4 /Apps folder ( where SimCity4.exe is located ). In dgVoodooCpl.exe add SimCity 4 /Apps folder and set following settings: General -> Output API Direct3D 12.0 ( or Direct3D 11 11.0 if your GPU does not support DirectX 12 - I have tried both and they work ) General -> Adapter to use -> Select your GPU from list DirectX -> dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card , select VRAM lower or equal to your actual GPU VRAM DirectX -> Dont select "Disable Alt-Enter to toggle screen state" DirectX -> Optionally set Texture Filtering and Antialiasing , they both seem to work DirectX -> Leave dgVoodoo Watermark ( it will be in right lower corner ) to confirm it works, you can disable it later Add launch options to your SimCity4.exe ( or in Steam if you use that version ), for example for 2560x1440 (change 2560x1440 to whatever your resolution is ): -CustomResolution:enabled -r2560x1440x32 Start game, use Alt + Enter to switch to fullscreen and enjoy silky smooth gameplay without any lags for any resolution. Hardware rendering also works for any resolution and I have confirmed with monitoring tools that game is using DirectX 12 ( or 11 if you use that ). No any other launch parameters or editing Video Cards.sgr are needed. In in game settings set rendering to Hardware.- 89 Replies
