Hello fellow mayors! haha
I'm new to the community but have owned SimCity 4 for a while.
I am currently running SimCity 4 on a Oracle VirtualBox 5.2 with Windows XP. DirectX (9.0c) is working along with the 2D and 3D accelerator. The only thing not enabled is the AGP Texture Accelerator but I'm not sure if that needs to be on or not.
I was able to get the game to run, but, for some reason:
1. A pop-up displays saying Direct-Draw could not be activated but a second or two later the game runs (I hear that this is actually normal)
2. the display, which is the main problem, is all messed up (see attached file). For some reason its all tiled. I tried running the game in scaled mode and non-scaled mode but that doesn't seem to fix it.
Tried looking online for a solution and only found this but it did not work for me:

Has anyone encountered this before? I appreciate any tips/advice!
Thank you

P.S. I had originally posted this in General Discussions on accident... not sure how to get rid of it now...sorry about that.
