I've seen a couple of thes posts around and tried their solutions but nothing works. @__@ I hope this is the right section T___T
I'm running:
CPU: Duo P8600
RAM: 4GB
Graphics: nVidia 9800M GS (512MB)
My game was working absolutely fine until this afternoon. Things would take ages to plop, roads/highways would take a long time to appear, even zoning took a good 6-7 seconds even for a small 4x4 area.
I recently downloaded and installed NAM, a bunch of GLR stuff and random plopables. These have no issues in my other cities and regions. It could possibly be the fact that my new city is the largest map (however it is my 3rd city of this size in different regions) but it has more roads than I usually have.
I tried fiddling with all the graphics settings, and even on lowest possible graphics, lowest resolution, tried both software and hardware rendering. It is still very slow
I also recently switched from windowed mode to fullscreen before it slowed down. Maybe I'll change it back ?
Sorry for a long post, thanks in advance for your help! <3
EDIT: I also just noticed that on one side of the city, across the river, the avenues are flashing between the growths in the middle...sometimes theres nothing, sometimes it's those grassy boxes, then those bushes. This only happens on the East side
