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.

Looking to play again, without Windows 10
michaeldcannaday posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Of course with my windows 10, SimCity rush hour (deluxe) won't run but if I were to get a cheap windows xp used laptop, would I have any problem getting SimCity 4 rushhour to run on it? And does it make any difference if it's a disk or digital (origin/ steam) ? -
guide How to run SimCity 4 Natively above 1920x1080 in Hardware Mode!!!
Durfsurn posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
So I recently bought a new computer screen with the jaw dropping resolution of 5120×1440 and was looking into getting SimCity 4 to run at something closer to native resolution. It has been known to the community for some time that SimCity 4 is locked to resolutions under 2048ish pixels either wide or high in hardware mode, the source of this limit is DirectX 7 which cannot handle resolutions any higher. This could be circumnavigated by running SC4 in software rendering mode (CPU only) but this caused other issues and notably reduced the graphics. However I have found a fantastic repository which can breathe new life into many games that use DirectX 9 or earlier called dxWrapper which includes a Legacy Hack for removing the resolution restriction, among other tricks. Anyway, with the help of one of the fantastic developers (elishacloud), a configuration was found that enables resolutions such as 4k and beyond! You can follow the Github Issue here but I will provide a summary below; IMPORTANT DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP: Make sure your game is patched with the NTCore 4GB patch! Download the latest release of dxWrapper from this link: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases Open the .zip in 7zip or WinRar and separately navigate to your SimCity 4 Deluxe/Apps folder. Extract the following files from the .zip: dxwrapper.dll, dxwrapper.ini, Stub/ddraw.dll and copy them into your Apps folder (next to your SimCity 4.exe file). Open the dxwrapper.ini file and paste the code below into it. Use a SimCity 4 Launcher to select any resolution you like! I am hoping to follow up this post with a guide on how to run the game at higher than native resolutions and scale it down to provide the greatest graphical fidelity. - Billy dxwrapper.ini: >;; Config file for DirectX DLL Wrapper [General] RealDllPath = AUTO WrapperMode = AUTO LoadCustomDllPath = ExcludeProcess = IncludeProcess = RunProcess = WaitForProcess = 0 DisableLogging = 0 [Plugins] LoadPlugins = 0 LoadFromScriptsOnly = 0 [Compatibility] Dd7to9 = 0 D3d8to9 = 0 DDrawCompat = 0 Dinputto8 = 0 DisableGameUX = 0 DSoundCtrl = 0 DxWnd = 0 EnableDdrawWrapper = 1 HandleExceptions = 0 SingleProcAffinity = 0 [DDrawCompat] DDrawCompat20 = 0 DDrawCompat21 = 0 DDrawCompatExperimental = 0 DDrawCompatDisableGDIHook = 0 DDrawCompatNoProcAffinity = 0 [ddraw] ConvertToDirectDraw7 = 0 ConvertToDirect3D7 = 0 DdrawOverrideBitMode = 0 [Dd7to9] AutoFrameSkip = 0 DdrawEmulateSurface = 0 DdrawLimitDisplayModeCount = 0 DdrawUseNativeResolution = 0 DdrawClippedWidth = 0 DdrawClippedHeight = 0 DdrawOverrideWidth = 0 DdrawOverrideHeight = 0 DdrawOverrideRefreshRate = 0 DdrawIntegerScalingClamp = 0 DdrawMaintainAspectRatio = 0 [d3d9] AntiAliasing = 0 EnableVSync = 0 EnableWindowMode = 0 FullscreenWindowMode = 0 WindowModeBorder = 0 [FullScreen] FullScreen = 0 ForceWindowResize = 0 WaitForWindowChanges = 0 [DSoundCtrl] Num2DBuffers = 0 Num3DBuffers = 0 ForceCertification = 0 ForceExclusiveMode = 0 ForceSoftwareMixing = 0 ForceHardwareMixing = 0 PreventSpeakerSetup = 0 ForceHQ3DSoftMixing = 0 ForceNonStaticBuffers = 0 ForceVoiceManagement = 0 ForcePrimaryBufferFormat = 0 PrimaryBufferBits = 16 PrimaryBufferSamples = 44100 PrimaryBufferChannels = 2 ForceSpeakerConfig = 0 SpeakerConfig = 6- 89 Replies

How to Install SC4DatPacker 2008 / CAM, the SysWOW64 Way!
Leo -- posted a topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
You probably know if you try to install CAM on windows 10 SC4DatPacker 2008 will crash during setup. This is caused by missing libraries for 32-bit apps in the SysWOW64 folder. So if we put the required .dll s in the SysWOW folder SC4DatPacker, SC4 Mapper, and SC4TerraFormer (SC4TerraFormer might need more dlls to work read its readme) should work. Step 1 : Get The dlls Step 1a :Get MFC71.DLL https://www.dll-files.com/mfc71.dll.html Step 1b :Get MSVCR71.dll https://www.dll-files.com/msvcr71.dll.html Step 1c :Get GDIPLUS.DLL https://www.dll-files.com/gdiplus.dll.html (Note : my system already had this file so you might not need to download it) Step 2 :Unzip the dll s and place it in the root of C:\Windows\SysWOW64 Step 3 :Reboot Step 4 Run the CAM installer and enjoy I am not responsible if something goes wrong. This Tutorial only applies of 64-bit versions of windows 10 -
Need help with SC4DatPacker error - MSVCP71.dll
Melanie posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I've been trying to apply the I-HT Bug-Fix for hours upon hours now. I followed this tutorial below and made it up to the "Run SC4 DatPacker" step. It says that the program can't start because MSVCP71.dll is missing. I looked at the DatPacker readme, downloaded the three necessary dll's, and still keep getting the same error. I even put them in the DatPacker folder like someone else suggested on here. I don't know what more I can do, but this is driving me absolutely mad :'( Tutorial: Applying the I-HT Bug-Fix correctly -
So I recently got a new computer with Windows 10 (previously ran on 7), new hardware etc. The game starts and runs fine (looks very nice on this fancy new graphics card). However, the game freezes every few times I try to save or save and exit to region view. Not every single time, mind you. I thought I had fixed it for a while by turning off the music; after doing this I saved and loaded 3-4 different cities and thought the problem was gone, but eventually the game froze again. When I say "freezes" I mean that the game becomes unresponsive and the music (if on) plays for about 3 seconds then loops. The really annoying part is that even if I open Task Manager, I can't bring it to the front so I can't kill SC4 that way, and alt-tabbing out and clicking the "X" to close it (or right-clicking on the task bar and telling it to close) doesn't work either. So I am forced to reset my computer to get it to close SC4. I have already used the command line to set the intro off, the affinity to one CPU core, and set a custom resolution. Like I said, the game starts up and runs fine, it just locks up every 3rd or 4th time I try to save. I copied my plugins folder directly over, if that has any relevance. Oh, and this is the GOG.com version, I downloaded that new rather than copying the installer I downloaded when I installed it on my old PC. As a speculative fix, I have tried setting compatibility mode to Windows 7, and (I think) given the exe file all permissions, however this problem still occurred when I ran SC4 as an administrator, so I'm not sure about all that. I have not tried the game again yet because I don't want to have to reset my computer again just now, but I will try it sometime today. I figure that I should post this anyway in case someone else has the same problem, because I looked back through about 12 pages of this forum and didn't find anything. Thoughts?

I need help with getting terraformer or mapper working on Windows 10
LexusInfernus posted a topic in Mapping Community Room
Ive tried to install Sc4 mapper. It installs just fine, but when I try to create a new region, the thing gets stuck. Using a SC4m file causes a big white screen. If I try using a greyscale, it just gets stuck loading forever. So then I tried installing terraformer. That thing wont even install, I just get an error report. Not even sure what happened there. Can anyone help? -
