Hey mate, I was hoping you might be able to help. I am running Lubuntu 11.10 but I am a linux $%&^!! I followed the instructions you gave via the seminar posted on the newsboard on this site, but after a few mins of what looked like a successful install I get the message "Error Message: A Debugger Has Been Detected: Unload the Debugger and Try Again". A google search reveals this page <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812759> telling me to take various steps which Im not sure apply considering Im running Wine. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! Yes, set the wine level to at least XP. At windows '95 or '98 the game thinks you are trying to trace it. Also, make sure the wine debugger is off. I've had a script change, by the way, to account for a new display and some CPU switching problems. I also picked up the digital version of the game. Here's my new script for 11.10: #!/bin/bash date env WINEPREFIX="/home/john/.wine" \ wine "C:/Program Files/Maxis/SimCity 4 Deluxe/Apps/SimCity 4.exe" \ -intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -d:software \ -CPUcount:1 &>~/sc4.log date And for 12.04 due to the wine change to the basic Vista decor: #!/bin/bash date env WINEPREFIX="/home/john/.wine" \ wine "C:/Program Files (x86)/Maxis/SimCity 4 Deluxe/Apps/SimCity 4.exe" \ -intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -d:software \ -CPUcount:1 &>~/sc4.log date I have tested this completely on Ubuntu 11.10, and 12.04 (beta). Runs the same on both. But do watch on a reinstall because of the new "Program Files (x86)" directory, especially the space before the bracket. Its a Windows thing to separate 32- and 64-bit files. It is another reason why I am not in love with the marching morons at Redmond. Thanks for your response. I just got back to this after being tied up with other things recently. I apolgise for asking such a stupid question but how do I disable the debugger? The commands I have found elseware have not been recognised. Also, I am trying to install from a mounted ISO. Is this likely to cause issues?

Synekism looks great. I am definitely interested in a 3d city building simulator that is easy on the specs. Will public transport be worked in at some stage?

GMT; I don't think your theory holds if you view things economically. Software developers will develop new software in order to reach fill a whole in the market or create an entirely new one. This judgement is made after an assessment of the current software available and a bit of guesswork about which direction trends will move in. Once these companies make the decision to develop the software it is in their interest to release it as soon as possible. This is because other software could be released in the meantime taking their imagined market share. There may be certain circumstances where it might be advantageous to delay the release, such as another similar product being released around the same time. A company might use the extra time to further differentiate their product. There may also be circumstances where there is less pressure to release as soon as possible, such as when a company has strong brand loyalty. However it is a safe assumption to make that if there is a delay in the release of any product, software included, then there is a problem with either production or distribution of that product.

I reinstalled NAM with the LHD component and now it is working perfectly. Thank you CaptCity!

I am having the same problem. I have recently un installed and reinstalled NAM april 08 edition.

I would love to see some Sydney Tangara passenger train skins! Also what about a passenger train yard? Google maps would be a good source for photos. Hornsby perhaps? This would really make my week!
