[Bug report] Only 1024x768 screen resolution In Sim City 5 option?

I can't see any other resolution in the list,

1024x768 70Hz

1024x768 72Hz
1024x768 75Hz

1024x768 150Hz

1024x768 170Hz

1024x768 200Hz

1024x768 240Hz

I want 1920X1080 but it is not exist?
What is this issue come from? I googled this problem but can't find anything helpful.

 

I guess my pc have enough power to run 1920X1080 and it run 1920 very fine in any other game.

Thanks for reply.

    For those having the same problem I did with only 1024x768 available as the resolution, try this. It worked for me and I just bought the game. I am on Windows 10 64bit. Find your file location, for me I have a separate partition for my games located @ G:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCity. For you it more than likely will be in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCity. Find the .exe (game launcher), right click and go to properties, then check the Compatibility Tab, check the Compatibility mode and select Windows 7 in the drop down selection. After that I was able to switch to 1920x1080. I have had to do this for multiple games since upgrading to windows 10.

    Hi @1901-154 - Are you saying that you can choose a higher resolution but you have to select it each time you enter the game? If it plays well in the higher resolution but you don't want to keep selecting it each time you enter the game, you can set the display in Origin to always start in the same resolution.

    In Origin, right-click the SimCity icon and choose "Game Properties" > click the "Advanced Launch Options" tab > type "-r:1920x1080" (without the quotation marks) in the "Command Line Arguments" box. Match the resolution to the current display settings on your monitor, using the format "-r:HHHHxRRRR" For instance, -r:2560x1440  -r:1920x1080  -r:1600x900

    SimCity was built several years ago, and so there can be challenges getting it to recognize newer graphics cards or Ultra High Def. This launch option will force the game to start in the resolution you enter.

    If you still have the problem, please reply back with a copy of your dxdiag.

    How can I do that with the Mac App Store version of SimCity? I have an M1 computer and unfortunately I cannot run the Origin version because that's 32-bit only (!!?!??) and macOS can only run 64-bit programs as of now.
