It looks like reinstalling the game worked for me. I don't know exactly what is different now, but I think that I originally installed or configured DGVoodoo incorrectly, or I did not replace the default graphics DLL. The hardware renders now, so I don't have the artifacts from software rendering.

Thank you for the link. I can tell you're holding a lot together here. I had the Microsoft dependencies working already, so the link led to a repair option, which I completed. This new wrapper didn't solve the crashing after the intro for me, but at least I learned a bit about Github today. * Are there any other recommended changes before I try reinstallation?

Thank you for the link to these alternative wrappers. I am encountering a similar crash on startup on Windows 11. Once I have them downloaded, how do I compile them into a dll file? Do you use Visual Studio to make the file, and then put it in the same folder as Simcity4.exe? I recently got the GOG version of SimCity 4, and I've installed all the recommended Simtropolis performance patches, but I have not been able to get the game to continue past the intro animation. Do you think that the CTD after the title yet before the region screen loads is because of a lack of wrapper, or an issue specific to graphics settings? DxDiag.txt
