  1. I'm new to the simtropolis forums and I was looking for an solution to a problem. Sometimes I get lucky and the crash doesn't happen at all during a game session. But it mostly seems to happen most of the time when I am installing subways. When the crash does happen my laptop screen turns off and the wifi indicator turns off as well, the only indicator on is the power and the laptop fan is still spinning but I have to turn it off pressing the power button. I'm guessing nobody have encountered this problem before.

    Ok I found the solution. I selected software mode under "render mode" and the crashes seem to have stopped. I think it's just my GPU giving out and shutting off. Also can a admin lock this thread?

    I wasn't trying to make you look bad.

    "control" is the same as CTRL with the latter being how it's spelled on the majority of keyboards so the original is already correct. I made a mistake I was suppose to say "Also I think you meant control+shift+esc"

    I have discovered the task manager feature since I was in fifth grade. Also I think you meant control+alt+esc. Here's the screenshot from the task manager performance bar my GPU has directX 10 but this time I selected software mode it didn't crash this time(for now). I don't know if SC4 can support DirectX 10.

    To be honest I don't have NAM installed and the instructions provided are unclear(no offense).

    I have to take back something I said. I was playing retro GTA games vice city and san andreas(somewhat unrelated but might be important) and have encountered the same problem as SC4 system crashes. I looked in event viewer once again but I think the critical error was when I forced restarted the laptop using the power button. So I think the error before it(event 3008).

    It's definitely SC4 causing my machine to crash. I'd never had this happen with any other software or games. I also can't upgrade to a 64-bit os because my current CPU is x86 based and I will have to upgrade to a intel duo core T7200.

    I didn't remember playing SC4 at 12:22:50 I was in a online class I couldn't have played. Here are my PC specs: 4GB ram (3GB usable) Nvidia quadro NVS 110M Intel T2600 Windows 7 32bit 240GB SSD The laptop model is dell latitude D620 it's not the fastest laptop I think it's more than enough for SC4 Edit: I always look at task manager when I am playing a game or doing really anything and I didn't remember noticing the RAM usage reaching max

    @Raymond7cn I look in window event viewer and this is what I got. Same time as when SC4 crashed.

    Is there a crash log or anything like that to find out the root of the problem.

    Railattack10 replied to Railattack10's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Update: The same problem happened again and my laptop stopped working and I had no choice but to force turn it off via power button.

    My anti virus thought SC4 was a virus now

    @CorinaMarie I am using the launcher here's the link: Well I just have realized the launcher has settings where you can limit the cpu core to one so I don't have to go into task manager and set the affinity.

    @Cyclone Boom I've tried limiting the CPU core count to one but that doesn't seem to work. Also here's the plugins I have installed crime doesn't play industry quadrupler IH_census_10_78_12 I don't know if these plugins are known for some issues. If none of the solutions work then I will run SC4 in a windows XP virtual machine.
