  1. As a system builder the simple steps could be remove video card clean the contacts with a pencil eraser and replace the card, failing that it could be more drastic perhaps some memory of the card dies or intermitant and in most cases most graphics applications only use part of the memory if your card has no removable memory your kinda screwed sugest get a new card and test see if you get the same problem keep your reciept and make sure they have a return policy if you tel them you didnt need the card after all and get a refund if it does resolve your problem then i sugest you place the old card into the circular filing cabinet and then take the trash out later
  2. play sandbox mode without disasters and you start with 1,000,000 but if your desperate alt W will give you 100,000 each pop
  3. Simcity crashing

    Its been crashing a hell of a lot more than it used to although i noticed after another update just yesterday it is not as bad but also noticed on the test server the resources showing up with different values than what they used to they must be playing with the global trade i think
  4. very good items pointed out but before we get El trains, subways, freight docks, oil tankers ect we would need a minimum 8x8km city having subways and el trains for 2x2km city is really a joke and the way service vechicles run around like chickens with there heads cut off i could ride a push bike faster
  5. 2.0 - Initial Observations

    No Real Change the cities are still broken its been over 4 weeks trying to repair the broken cities, Still cant use them and no way i can find to remove them and rebuild. Same old convoys of service vehicles running around is circles especialy fire trucks the disperse after the fires have burnt out, over all game is still break might take a serious rest till about version 10.0 then perhaps the modders will have a field day.
  6. What graphics card to get for SC4?

    seems a geforce gt 630 as one of the lower cost cards about $80 may be loss shop around but works great for sc4 and if you ever take the plunge works for sc5 as well
  7. Corrupted regions? Is that possible?

    Well one city has been processing and i am told to try again later its been 5 days now they must be processing the city with a TRS 80 (if anybody remenbers that) LOL
  8. City Overrun With Criminals

    if all else fails use ALT C to bring the city under control for a while
  9. Contributing to a Great Works

    Dont RUSH to do Great works my experiance has shown it dont work any way in this instance it took a certain amount of metal and alloy, but after sending over 100,000 tvs i still have 0 zilch zero and seems metal and alloy have stalled. BTW i have had to buy the same great works site twice so far it dont realise its already built, glad Alt +W is a quick way to get your money back in the treasury. At least 1 of the cheat keys work not all seem to do much of anything other than throw up notes that its been disabled. for anybody interested and not figured them out here is some helpfull hints: Result Cheat Code Add 100,000 Simoleons to city budget [Alt] + W Toggle Air Pollution [Alt] + A Toggle Crime [Alt] + C Toggle Fire [Alt] + F Toggle Garbage [Alt] + G Toggle Ground Pollution [Alt] + P Toggle Health Issues [Alt] + M Toggle Homeless Sims [Alt] + H Toggle Sewage [Alt] + S Infinite water If you place a water pump (using filtration pumps) directly next to a sewage treatment plant, it allows for unlimited water. The sewage treatment plant adds back into the ground water table at that spot. The filtration pumps ensure your water will not get polluted from the ground pollution that occurs. When using this trick, you can pick one of the four clustered cities in your tradable region to keep using the trick repeatedly. This will provide a massive amount of water that can be purchased. You can then buy from that massive source while building the other three cities. This will save you the need to place a water source and sewage treatment plant. This can be done for any utility/service.
  10. Cheetah is re-enabled on some servers

    i think it would be better if they fixed the important parts of the game rather than be a show off on how good you can do
