  1. Help running SC4 on Windows 11

    Well... I am dumb. Deleted my entire post because I'm half asleep and on the verge of tears trying to get this to run. Basically, everything I need to install is installed. I've got the graphics fixes, Voodoo, CPU options, everything. Everything was working splendidly until I actually started building my city. Now it just freezes whenever I load into the game, or whenever I start placing a building or road. It even hard locks the PC so I can't even enter task manager, so I have to do a hard restart. I'm at a loss. I've been at this continuously for the past five days, and on and off again for months. Everyone has been so helpful so far but I'm still just so tired. Is this game even capable on running on my laptop? Is this a lost cause? System Specs: ROG Strix Gaming Laptop Windows 11 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900H 2.50 GHz 16GB RAM NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070ti laptop GPU (main graphics card) Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (onboard card) As usual, i can post logs if anyone needs the.
  2. Help running SC4 on Windows 11

    Well... this is weird. Game runs perfectly fine now... until I actually start building a city. Even on the smallest map it seems to bug out shortly after a few buildings are built. Sometimes it'll freeze my whole computer, sometimes it'll just crash, but it's always whenever all the interesting stuff starts happening.

  4. SC4 Graphics Options

    Done and done; thank you for pointing me in that direction!
  5. Hello, all. I've been trying to get a bunch of older games running on my laptop, and SimCity 4 is simultaneously probably the best-supported and the most annoying to deal with (it's why we love it...) Anyhoo, every time I load up the game, it gets through the intros and straight to the splash screen, then promptly crashes/closes with no errors or anything else. The logs are very technical (and I have an IT certificate.) I should be able to get this old beast running but something about it all is eluding me... I have the 4gb patch, NAM, SC4Fix, and SC4GraphicsOptions installed on an otherwise fresh Steam install. It worked flawlessly on my old Windows 10 laptop but it simply refuses to get to the actual "game" part of the game lol. I've even tried switching between my two graphics adapters (onboard graphics and dedicated graphics). I've tried every command line hook I can, every compatibility setting... nothing works. Has anyone else had this problem? I can provide logs if needed.

  6. SC4 Graphics Options

    I've been trying literally everything to get this game to run. EVERYTHING. Launchers (all of which seem to have been purged from this site), command line hooks, everything short of just straight up downgrading my PC to Windows 10 or 7. I even tried this. I was hopeful. I was wrong. I have an IT certificate, I know a thing or two; surely it can't be too bad to get this 20-year-old game running... Oh. Wait. It's 20 years old. AAAAAAA Long story short... some help? Pretty please?
