Re: simcity-black screen

Thanks you Sir,
Understand for me, I come from VN, too poor to buy a copyright game, so I get razor, but now I may give it up.
I want to buy this game but I worried it still happen with a copyright version.
Thanks all for your support...!!!

    @thesolomongrundy - thank you for telling me what  RZR is; that makes a big difference (I saw "Razor", and thought "gaming mouse" lol)

    @kentamio - the game is an older one, it is not compatible with super high resolution graphics. It is very important to have your graphic card drivers updated. If you have BitDefender or MSI sound program Nahimic installed, disable or uninstall them, they are known to be incompatible. Black screen is usually either too high of resolution -or- something blocking SimCity from reaching the servers. Make sure SimCity.exe and Origin.exe are added to firewall and router exception lists.

    These types of things can be fixed in a licensed copy of the game, and EA offers a return window if you can't get it to work. I believe the complete edition was on sale last week for around $7. I really can't help much with a hacked version, and that fact alone could be why you have the issue.
