10 years agoAre you running Windows 10? If not, reply with a dxdiag.
Please also try the following:
- A disc versions will not work on newer computers, contact a Game Advisor to receive to a digital download (only if you own the original game)
- Turn off Origin in-game.
- Try running in compatibility mode: right click the Simcity 4 shortcut > Properties > Compatibility. Choose a compatibility mode, click apply. Try different compatibility modes to see if that resolves the issue
- Right-click Origin and select Run as administrator
Lastly, I cannot guarantee we can get the game working on newer versions of Windows, especially Windows 10. Please see the official requirements below:
