Besides getting a device compatible with the game. 🙂
I can't find any posts about the inability to zoom out on some devices being fixed. Before I delete the game I wanted to see if there was a work around maybe.
I have an 8" tablet with an Intel Z8300 CPU, their latest gen 8 GPU, 2 GB RAM, and 1920 X 1200 Res.
I can't zoom out at all which of course makes it unplayable. Any ideas on a work around or fix? Thanks
you can fix it easily if you're rooted
you need:
total commander (or another capable file manager)
HEX editor
grant both of them root access
in HEX editor settings -> other settings check "root mode"
in total commander search file system root folder for "benchmark.txt"
you'll end up with maybe 6 results, just check if path contains simcitymobile, if it does, you have the right file
don't worry about changing all of them, it's just many mappings of the same file, all you have to do is to rewrite one of them
tap n hold the benchmark.txt and choose "open with"
choose HEX editor
you should see something like
| ec 03 00 00 | 03 00 00 00 | 03 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 |
write down the numbers, just in case you need it later
ignore the numbers in this example, they can be different in your case,
change the second and third dword from what's on that position in your file (03 in my case) to FF
so it should look something like that:
| ec 03 00 00 | FF 00 00 00 | FF 00 00 00 | 00 00 00 00 |
save it, run the game and enjoy, you can zoom all the way out 😉
if anything went wrong, just type in the old numbers and save
