  1. jestarr's BAT Thread

    QuantumChicken replied to jestarr's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    I hate data loss. In 2004, I lost a my game development levels for Descent II as my HDD's PCB violently exploded on me.

  2. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    QuantumChicken replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    I have a Voodoo 2 addon accelerator which is connected to my GeForce FX 5500. I have a 1.4GHz Pentium 4, will be upgrading to a 2.8Ghz. And yes, I have a patch that makes win98se be able to see 4GB DRAM and a patch that makes the OS see 2TB partition. But yea, I mainly use this machine with my SB AWE32, SBAWE64 Gold, a TerraTec DMX Classic, and an SB PCI 128. I plan to build a beastly 19-slot industrial ISA/PCI setup for Win98se with 2G ram and a 3.2Ghz Petium 4.

  3. bugs Simtropolis 9.0.x - Bugs & Issues Report Thread

    QuantumChicken replied to Cyclone Boom's topic in Simtropolis Related

    So that is what happened... I am so glad that the data did not nuke itself. I hate data losses so much.
  4. I am running SC4 Deluxe off of Windows 98Se(WIndows 11 is just like Vista compatibility and stability wise). Is it possible to still connect to my dedicated server through that dinosaur of an OS?
  5. This game looks interesting. I am hoping it will support NUMA and SMT technology. I have high hopes for it none the less. I will wait and see what the Steam reviews have to say about it. Knock on wood there will not be a horrid review-bombing like what happened to Overwatch 2.

    Does SimCity 4 support 3DFX Glide? I also have a GeForce FX 5500 PCI 256 MB if that does not work. I am running this game off of my Windows 98SE machine with 2GB DRAM because I have lost my patience with windows 11 and it's Vista-level bugs and incompatibilities.

  7. CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF SimCity 4

    QuantumChicken commented on Ulisse Wolf's article in News

    I still love this game today. I was playing Cities Skylines and Cites XL/XXL, but SC4 just seems to have that charm that no other city builder has. The isometric view does mess with my brain sometimes, but it is like that also with Open RollerCoasterTycoon 2 also. I also have OTVDM, so I can play SimCity classic and 2000 on my win11 OS.

  8. What's that green glowing glow?

    QuantumChicken replied to bdehnwehn's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    My guess is there is an asset using a negative value for radiation pollution. I know that happened to me when I did that with iLive reader and a lot.

  9. Any chance of a new SimCity in 2023?

    QuantumChicken replied to MrMeowPuss's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    I don't think so, nor should there be one. Cities Skylines has filled the modern take on city building, but I think SimCity 4 is the best one and should be kept that way.

  10. 20yearsSC4 SC4: 2023 (20th Anniversary)

    QuantumChicken replied to SIM-ple Jack's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    I remember getting the CD set on the first day launch for my windows 2000 PC. My poor Athlon XP could not handle it very well with 256Megs of ram. I wish windows 11 played nice with it as I never had lag issues on windows 10. I decided I like this game more than Cities Skylines as we can build at large-scale and it has a region. Oh yea, and it is not SimCity Societies or 2013. Evil Arts decided to invalidate my SC2013 license for no reason and their support was as helpful as warts.

    QuantumChicken replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    The only problem with SC4 is windows 11 IoT Enterprise does not play well with this game. Windows 10, I never had lag issues. Still loving SC4.
  12. I know this is a necro-bump, but how do I set up my own server?

  13. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    QuantumChicken replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    I like the mass-scale and region of SimCity 4. I also have a problem with hitting the user-agent limits in Cities Skylines. If that helps.

  14. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    QuantumChicken replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Heya! Am I crazy to like SimCity 4 more than Cities Skylines?
  15. Hey, I am curious, I am at almost 4GB of plugins, does that equate to 4GB memory? Or can I add many more plugins before I hit that limit?

  16. SimCity 4 memory limit and plugins

    QuantumChicken replied to QuantumChicken's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Thank you both for the insights. Very helpful. I am used to Cities Skylines method of using memory and its 64-bit binaries.

  17. STEX CDs and Donations

    QuantumChicken replied to Dirktator's topic in Simtropolis Related

    I donated $50 a few days ago and never got the automated email in my webmail account. I have the paypal reciept, but that is all.

  18. Will SC4 work with Windows Server 2019? I cannot find the Legacy Rendering module in the add/remove server settings.

  19. Can I run SC4 with Win10

    QuantumChicken posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I am curious how SC4 Steam Edition will run off windows 10. Will it even work? I am thinking of playing it again, but I do not know how win10 will react to it, or vise-versa.

    I would like my KillrChicken account back, please.

  21. Introduce Yourself Here!

    QuantumChicken replied to JohnnyBGoode's topic in New Members Information

    Hey. This is actually KillrChicken, but the original account lost its ability to use a password, and when I did a pass reset, it assigned me my true name. Any chance of getting my other account deleted as I can no longer access it no matter what I try and do?

  22. Windows 11 discussion thread

    QuantumChicken replied to Propfam's topic in Current Events

    I am using windows 10 and , while have many bugs in it, I plan to use it until the end of service life. Win 11 will not work on my IvyBridge-E workstation. I cannot use UEFI as I have enterprise SAS RAID controllers that do not work in UEFI mode.
  23. Sorry for necro'ing this, but there is a Steam mod that increases the parked and active car agents to 65536 now. I have a professional workstation server now from an inheritence (2x 8cores/16threads with 64GB DDR3-1866 and an GTX 980 4GB. It DOES use 16 of my 32 threads @3.6GHZ. Sadly, the game does crawl to a slow pace on windows 10 with 400k squawkboxes. I think Unity3d is needing more optimisations and/or better multithreading. I have personally talked with Colossal Order and they said it is no easy task manipulating the user agents in Unity3d as it is a very complex engine. I also play Rust, which is on the same engine, but it can handle 2.147 billion agents. That being said, Rust requires a way more powerful machine to handle the agents. I just want to add for moderator knowledge, my other account "KillrChicken" seems to have lost its password ability, so I made this one and hope they can delete my borked account. Sorry for doing this. I tried to use my pass, but it stated there was no password tied to this account.
  24. I am also getting that, but it is probably because I am using SandyBridge-E cpus, which are 2.9Ghz 16-cores.I also noticed a recent windows 10 update (1GB?) caused ,my system to choke on this game now.

  25. What do you want in Cities: Skylines?

    QuantumChicken replied to AidanA28's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion

    I would like to see the Unity Engine updated to the current one as it is more optimised and memory/cpu friendly. Right now my poor SAndyBride-E 16-cores is struggling with 600k people and was forced to buy new cpus. Not just for Cities Skylines, but I also play Rust , which also used Unity3D, and man, that game is way more intensive than Cities
