Hi Nativo,First let clear a few things up:1) your posts were delayed in being displayed to these forums because I premoderate all posts by new users to prevent spam from being posted here, hence you could not see your posts right away.2) These forums are not in any way associated with nor endorsed by EA games. I am the owner of these forums and I run them as a hobby. I have windows 7 64 bit computer - it runs sim city 4 just fine and dandy - however - it will NOT run sim cities societies - seems weird since that is the later game - I have been trying to find a solution - it seems many people are getting the same error code - windows site says the game is compatible - perhaps not compatible with a higher level game card??? Anyway - if you are fans of sim city 4 which I really dont like - then you should be fine -if you like societies and destinations - well then it might be impossible. I've had similar experiences with Simcity4-Deluxe on Windows7 x64 with a HD 5850, Phenom II 940BE & 4GB DDR2. Initially I installed SC4 and all was well. Framerates were fine, could run at 1600x900 via the shortcut mod with no problems.

Clouds appeared a bit flickery but not too much of a distraction. Then I updated using this patch 'UPDATESKU1TOP1B638.EXE' and it all went nuts after that. Framerates dropped to the point that it was unplayable.:confused: I tried to tweak the.SGR files but it didn't make much difference. Could only run smooth in software mode.Eventually SC4 would not start at all. 'This program failed.etc.' What I've realized after re-installing a fresh copy of SC4 is that it was already version '1.1.638.0'. So what did this patch I used earlier do to my install?

Follow these steps:1) Install Sim City 4. When the game starts on completion, exit.2) (Optional) Install Sim City 4 Rush Hour. When the game starts on completion, again exit.3) Install the Sim City 4 Rush Hour Update from this URL:4) You may use a custom resolution by adding this to the shortcut:'CProgram Files (x86)MaxisSimCity 4AppsSimCity 4.exe' -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32Adjust as needed.5) Right click the shortcut again, and go to compatibility Check Run As Administrator, Disable Visual Themes, Run in Compatibility Mode for XP Service Pack 26) CLOSE ALL OTHER PROGRAMS NOTHING ELSE CAN BE RUNNING ON THE TASK BAR7) Run the program. It may drop you back to the desktop at this point, or if it is still going hit CTRL-ALT-DEL go to TASK MANAGER then Processes.

Find the Sim City Process. Right Click the process and select 'Set Affinity.' Uncheck all but one processor, so that one processor only can run the Sim City process.Click back into the game on the taskbar. During the loading sequence ('EA, Challenge Everything') it may continue to drop you to the desktop. Once the game actually starts (Region View) you'll be able to play just fine!Hope this helps someone.
