Johnny Rakehell

I did try installing DX 9c, but nothing doin'. Same error message, same esoteric error logs. From the question marks in the error logs, it would seem that it's looking for something that might not be there. But then again, code makes me angry and numbers make me cry, so I'd have better luck interpreting the Dead Sea scrolls...

I've encountered a problem with Simcity Terraformer which is getting to be a bit tiresome. You see, it doesn't start, and that tends to make using it a little tricky. I'm working with the RC for Windows 7, and I don't know enough about coding to understand what the error logs are telling me. I'm thinking that it might have to do with the program not being able to handle DX11, but it could be anything else. I've tried downloading the MSCVP71.DLL, but all that's happened is I now get a DX error saying that something else might be using DX, which I know not to be the case. The following is my error log dump: Traceback (most recent call last): File "SC4Terraformer.py", line 4, in ? File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 78, in load_module File "SC4TerraformerApp.pyo", line 3, in ? File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 91, in load_module ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading tools3D.pyd Traceback (most recent call last): File "SC4Terraformer.py", line 4, in ?

File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 91, in load_module ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading tools3D.pyd I'm running every app in the file in XP compatibility mode, although I'm well aware that it doesn't really mean much. But in the spirit of testing what does and doesn't work, I figure I might as well ask those who know more than I for advice. Oh, and it's worth noting that SC4T works fine on my XP drive, but since SC4 works fine in Windows 7, I have no reason to boot from my XP drive, aside from being able to use SC4T, which seems a bit silly.

Hello, all. While my real name isn't Johnny Rakehell, it'd be pretty keen if it was. Alas, my name is far from "Johnny," and I'm about as much of a rake as a shovel. I've been a big fan of Sim(insert franchise suffix here) for a good while. I have vague memories of playing Simcity 2k way back on the computers in grade school. I got into SC4 when I realized that you could create zones for the Sims 2, and I've been ghosting around here for a few days. Oh, and I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that SC4 works with Windows 7
