Hi, my game SC4Deluxe crashes all the time on this computer, especially when I zoom in or out. I've had older, smaller computers that run the game just fine. Asus laptop Windows 8.1 with Bing Intel(R) Celeron (R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16 GHZ RAM is 4.00 GB, 3.89 usable 64 bit OS, x64 based processor Intel(R) HD Graphics, speed 2167 MHz, DirectX version 11.2, Shader 5.0, OpenGL 4.0, OpenCL 1.2 and 3982 MB of physical memory. Am I missing something? Is it just the video card? If so, what kind should I get? How can I improve this to at least let me play the game? Also, where did the 'crash to desktop? check here first' and 'cant find it' threads go?

I installed the Cascadia Tree Controller by Blunder. I downloaded and installed all of the dependencies listed. I'm getting brown boxes on the largest stages of the coastal conifers and coastal conifer transitions. I tried finding what I'm missing for about an hour. Does anybody know what I'm missing? I can't figure out what it is because I don't think it would give me stages 1 & 2 of the coastal pines but not stage 3. Any help would be great.

Hi, I can't find the half dead grass NAM Curve AVE and FAN grass, also road, one way NAM curve and FAN grass. I can only find the white sidewalk filler. Also, I can't find 2 buildings. One is a british/european 5 storey wall to wall about 1x3 that fits to a curve in off white im guessing smooth stone blocks. Other is a 2x2 New York Apartment, about 5 storeys tall with a billboard on top of it, in brown brick. Also, I can't find the 'can't find it' thread.

Hi. I started a new city with the sandy desert terrain mod installed. It worked until I dug down to the water. That's when it crashed. So I removed my water mod. It crashed again when I dug down. So I removed the sandy desert terrain mod. It did not crash when I dug down on vanilla. I've used the Olympic terrain mod in the past. It works just fine. I removed all of the associated olympic terrain mod files, and so there shouldn't be a conflict with the sandy terrain mod now. The sandy terrain mod does work and does paint the landscape tan, but it has something to do with the water. I am running on hardware default settings.

nope, still crashed

i found something called a city terrain cutaway mod and i removed that so im trying that now

I searched CPT and removed some additional files I hadn't seen. It works to dig now. However, when I try to make a mountain, it crashes. I can make hills. I removed the SHK HDRock mod. It still does it. It has something to do with cliffs. I have no idea what else would do that, since all it is is the terrain mod. I don't have a rock mod in there, and I can't think of what it would be.

i took the rock mod out when i took the water mod out. the only other thing would be the beach extender mod, or i dont know if the NAM has a built in slope mod. Ill try it again in a bit.

Ok, thanks. DirectX works fine. Oh and rsc, thank you for the diagonal filler pieces. They are the most popular tiles in all my cities.

Should I use openGL or directX rendering?

Bingo! Thank you it works now! And thank you RSC for helping!

the launcher works now. it is this launcher: Yes, it still crashes when you save. It won't let me add to the target line.

ok i tried typing it in without quotes, and it took it, im guessing it was because before i was copy pasting and it became fancy keys or whatever. However it crashed when I saved an empty tile and exited to the region, so im not sure if it worked.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe was able to go back into the launcher and make the launcher work again. however, C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe -CPUCount:1 makes it say it cant find sc4.

when i type "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CPUCount:1 into the target on the launcher tab on the right in the launcher, then go to the launcher tab on the left to launch the game, it disappears, and says is invalid. I think it has something to do with the quotation marks.

and it doesn't leave anything in the launcher.

all the things you're saying the computer is saying isn't valid.

What happens if I run it in compatibility mode?

somehow by copying and pasting the two lines i posted here, the launcher has gone missing, and it isnt in the recycling bin! Now I can't play SC4 at all!

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\SC4Launcher.exe" is the launcher target. i can't find the actual SimCity file.

wait that might be just a shortcut.

In my target box it reads "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" Do I delete this?

this is the Amazon download I've downloaded it on about 50 computers now!

thank you, but I don't have an SC4 button on my desktop. I have the launcher though. Is there another place that would allow me to get to the properties area for SC4?

Hi, I simply cannot find the PEG CDK Leveler in the game. I downloaded it and installed it, and for the life of me, cannot find it anywhere. Does anybody know where it is? Is it a landmark? Thanks.
