I downloaded SimCity digital version. When I play the game it runs slow and not smooth. All actions are a couple seconds behind and makes for difficult playing. I have a Hp Pavilon with a intel core processor. Windows 7 is the operating system.
What do i do to fix this???
Get a new computer. Sorry but new games and not new computers (x2 with laptops if not more) do not go together.
Unfortunately a 2 year old desktop is too old. You might try to upgrade graphics card and add ram. But the best advice would look to upgrade the pc, or run the game on low resolution.
the only way i got this game to run at a decent speed was to change settings in the in game options.
simply turn down the lighting effects as low as possible (this in turn also lowers the shadow level), this unfortunately makes the game look like an 16Bit piece of carp but runs better,even though all my other graphics settings are set to max. this is really poor from EA as it looks nowhere near as good as anything advertised.
Sim city is running slow on 2 of 3 cities in my region.
this started on Oct 28 2014...everything is 2-3 seconds behind including my typing this question.
What's going on?
My laptop is 2years old and to someone in this post who told another 2 yr old pcs are too old...move on.
This never occurs in the other city--which leads me to believe this is a server issue.
No one participating in this thread has named anything useful about how their hardware compares to the game requirements. "Newness" is *NOT* relevant at all.
Network problems (referred to as "Lag") manifest themselves in a variety of ways, A DxDiag report can eliminate any question about whether or not a PC has adequate performance.
How to get DxDiag and put it in a Pastebin page:

This computer is fairly new. About two years old. Your saying that is to old???
That was an irrelevant response. A cheap, average, ordinary PC will always be just what it is, at every age it reaches. Gaming machines cost more to start with, and play the games correctly, not herky-jerky and fuzzy.

You piggybacked into a necro'd thread and did the same as the rest, which was avoiding providing useful information, about which I posted a detailed reply. You have apparently ignored that response. We must now presume that you no longer need assistance from the community at Answer HQ.
