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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

if all else fails use ALT C to bring the city under control for a while

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.

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

sound like an Irish joke to me drive on the right but they will change to the left names that start with a-e start on tuesday f-k start wednesday and so on

Sharing is piracy no matter if is a family member or your neighbours get your own copy, If everybody did that there would no money in the kitty to fix the screw ups in the game

in edit mode there are graphic problems the garbage comes back as soon as you hit escape

no problems i play on the test server with the ability to run full speed over 350 hours play since day 1

well you say your presenting the winners but no mention of who those winners are

i use the black hole management water works and the ionic infusion power which also gives water the power does cost 9000 a month if not regulated but does give an almost instant 9000 to high tech taxes so reduce power to almost nothing and increase as needed this should give yu about 5-7000 a month income other alternative is use bsc funding mod allows you to build very large cities without depleting your funds turn it off as soon as you start making money i can usually using super mega zoning to put up large residentian hd lots and high density comercial and get about 200 to 300 thousand sims in about 1 hour perhaps 4 sim years at fastest speed major networks go in after my main areas are making money with taxes i seldom use any indiustrial unless i need it for eye candy

you never own any software you own a license to use it period dont matter where you get it from thats the way it works

explain what you mean by dragging your mods and what mods are you refering to

Glad to see your still around but i have a request and i know you have great work so this may be to simple for you but would love to have a small building with large roof fans that could be used as a vent shaft for very long underground roads and railways just eyecand but would add realism Thanks in advance

I always build with a large hd residention and hd large comercial and have over 25-35,000 sims in about 5 mns or less on high game spped and well over 100,000 with no industry i uses a large X roads or X avenues and build in the 4 adjoining corners usually 1t least 30 x 30 tiles of each at a time i dont waste time with low density residential one quadrant is hd residtenial adjacent to it is hd comercial below the residential i place medium density comercial because there always screeming for office space the last quadrant i place lage quantity of mediaum density residential if things slow down i plop small plazas or parks in residential areas and i have had over 250,000 sims in under 1 hour

I beg to differ regarding MS access as a db the db would not be that large as its only storing details to links not the actual dependencies . also i would say that 90% of the users probably have ms office on the computers so d/l the db rather than waste time online searching t could be done offline on your own desktop. i dougbt most users have mysql installed . as a point of interest i have worked with clients that have access d/b's with over 400,000 records including data files embedded and there sites are relatively fast and have good search capabilities . Just my 2cents worth

try google you will find about 50 or so sites that have java tutorials and lots of code to make life easier also most programming sites carry a lot of java stuff to

use BSC funding mod more control over the game
