Originally posted by: Blue Lightning There are only two things that this possibly can happen. No other options 1. You have an illegal/cracked copy of the game. 2. You have RHD (cars drive on the RIGHT side of the road) but you installed the NAM in LHD (cars drive on the LEFT side of the road) or vice versa. The lag you experience is the game unable to find the correct paths for that driving side. 1. Patch 640 is required for proper NAM functionality. 2. Transit simulator does not deal with RHD-LHD reversal 3. Textures and props can't conflict with RHD-LHD reversal. USA, Greece, Canada, and most countries are RHD Japan, UK, Hong Kong, and a few others are LHD The above guide applys to where you bought the game, not where you use the game. quote> No way for the game to be illegal! I have an authentic version with one red and one yellow disk! Anyway I think I got the problem. I live in Greece and I found this game online in a greek e-shopping website! As far as I can see the game is a UK copy!!!!! It says here: For support: uk.ea.com! You know on the back of the CD package! I thought I had an American version of this game!!!

Originally posted by: CaptCity Ummm....Thanks for clarifying... That was the purpose of my question. We were both posting and editing at the same time, so I just wanted to be sure... Sometimes people think they have one version of the game based on where they live, but in actuality have bought the opposite version. As I mentioned, the rail issue - both not functioning and cars not crossing tracks - has almost always been related to having the wrong driving component in NAM. Therefore, if you do have a right-hand version of the game, and if it is updated to version 1.1.640, then you might re-download and re-install NAM. Perhaps something "glitched" during downloading.quote> I have tried every possible combination with all downloaded modds. Now I have completelly uninstalled the game. I cleared registry, all Programm Files, deleted all Plugins and the game. I have no better option. It really sucks, I mean what the purpose of it? It's not realistic. Plus I forgot to tell you that it lags a lot when I try to build any kind of rail and 2 kinds of Network Widening Mod avenues (The ones with 2 orange-yellow combinated coloured stripes in the middle), this way I can't even drive on these roads (actually avenues). I have 3 possible sources of this problem: 1) Either the game update to 638 and then to 640 conflicts with NAM. 2)NAM has a Transportation Simulator Patch, it is obligatory and I think this overwrittes some way the older files thus not allowing proper functioning and 3)A texture or prop pack that conflicts with NAM. To be perfectly frank this is my least suspicious thought. I don't think this is more than 20% true, as I removed all of the textures and props after reinstalling NAM. Have you ever had this problem before? Have you updated the game version to 640? Please tell me is there something speciall you did? I installed NAM the correct way, this is 100% sure!

Originally posted by: CaptCity So, when you run the game and see which side of the roads the vehicles travel on, they are on the right side?quote> Listen...I don't really understand what you mean about left and right side. I installed the typical, US and German on, not UK AND Japan! I installed the right hand! All times! Why should I choose left one?

Originally posted by: CaptCity As Dannibee asked, do you have a left-hand drive or a right-hand drive game? The rail issue is a typical symptom of installing the wrong drive-side component during the NAM installation. quote> I meant I had the default (U.S. and German one) right hand.

Originally posted by: Xyloxadoria It would be a good idea to update your game then, that might fix the issue. You can see how to update here quote> I actually have updated it. First to 638 and then to 640 (the BAT update). That was the first thing I did actually! I have reinstalled the game but nothing...I removed all plugins and installed only NAM. The problem seems to be connected with the Transportation Simulator in NAM. Once I removed NAM from Plugins it was fine. Once I reinstalled it came back! Then I removed all Plugins and left only NAM. I deleted NAM and reinstalled it over and over again....but every time it lags when I build any kind of rail and no train appears. And also I cannot drive any train! Nothing!

I installed the 2010 NAM version after having installed Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition. No updating or deleting, a clear install.

Once I build any kind of rail, no train at all appears and I cannot drive any kind of transportation except for normal road cars. The stations function properly though. You can see that the usage persentage is higher than 0%, but no train at all is moving through my cities. This is really bad, as it looks really unrealistic, I mean like having a long railroad and no train to appear at all?! That's a kinda weird bug, but I think it is because of the NAM. Oh and also! No car can go through rails. It just stops in front of the rail and does not move (in UDI mode). What could this be caused by??? Please help!

OK I got the solution. You must have a legal CD copy version. DO NOT use downloaded and/or cracked game versions. Only legalised copy of the game. Uninstall completely your current cracked or another corrupted style game COMPLETELY. Leave nothing. Use CCLeaner to clean your Registry, do a Disk Cleanup, Format if necessary, run a Disk Checkup and restart your PC. Install a legal copy. DO NOT use crack or anything else. Once installed fully, extract the CD from DVD/CD ROM and do not do anything on PC for 1 minute. Go to ea and download the necessary update. Run it. It should install fine. And after you do this, download the BAT update in order to appear the night lightning modd in downloaded lots, optional but essential for downloaded modds. The point is I got the same problem (Cannot continue due to no match in files and blah blah blah) but I bought a normal authentic game, did that and it runs perfect. Try it out if not yet! Good luck!

You should see my Commercial Zones and I think you would really agree with the pandemic definition! Could it possibly be the Extra Cheats Plugin.dll ?

Hello everyone! I got a really serious problems with the Coit Tower during gameplay. It is actually a landmark like the Empire State Building, but it starts plopping all over the Commercial Zones I create. It is very annoying, as it does not allow what we call building diversity! It destroys all my plans for a realistic city! It must be some kind of modd, as it never happened during the without-modd gameplay. The problem becomes even more serious as I got like 800 MB of lots, modds etc, stored in Plugins Folder and I don't know what really cause this ugly building to plop all over the place! I DO NOT have the ploppable landmark modd, found in the General Modds nor do I have ANY other modd that allows landmarks to plop like that! It must be some kind of internal problem, probably withing a lot or another modd that actually enables it. So if you got the same problem or if you are annoyed, frustrated or ready to kill somebody in order to calm down with this really suicidal-dragging phenomenon please answer back, so that we could find a solution, or if you have already found the source of this disease I would really appreciate if you gave me the cure! P.S. I have already passed all the Internet like a typhoon in order to find something but in vain...

omg omg the worst building is the Coit Tower! It destroys all my plans for building diversity! This ugly thing plops everywhere like mushrooms and does not allow other business building appear!
