Fixed - street/traffic lights, sims, zoom. Simple hack
I know the post is marked as solved but as an owner of an ASUS ZenPad with an Intel CPU and PowerVR GPU I wasn't satisfied with EA's excuse of a response; so I've fixed it myself and now have full shadows, streetlights, traffic lights, all the vehicles and Sims running around and all it took was copying one file onto my device.
The file in question is benchmark.txt and that file lives in the simcity install folder next to dynamic_new.txt and dynamic_old.txt. All you need to do is get a copy from a device where all of the above works and replace the one on your device. I took mine from a Nexus 7 (2012) and as soon as stated the game everything worked.
Notes:
- My device is rooted, not sure if you will need yours rooted for this to work or not.
- You will likely need to repeat this each time there is an update as the benchmark will run again.
I'll try and upload my benchmark.txt later but please give it a go and leave feedback.
