Hi @gryville,
When SimCity BuildIt first launches it does a hardware check in order to give you a smooth and optimized playing experience. This means that some graphical features, like traffic lights, or features such as the zoom out function might be turned off or be reduced depending on your device.
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
