EA please fix this! Otherwise u are just scamming people money ☹️
Go to DXVK in GitHub and click on "Release 2.3" on the right.
Scroll down and download the first file, called "dxvk-2.3.tar.gz".
Open it and copy the "d3d9.dll" file inside the x32 folder and paste it into the folder where the SimCity executable file is, the executable file should be in this path: C:\Program Files\EA Games\SimCity\SimCity
What issue do you have exactly? The game might not be compatible with latest CPUs but there shouldn't be any specific issue with Windows 11 🤔
i run simcity 2013 on windows 11 on a ASUS vivobook. After i downloaded and installed simcity 2013 from EA, it just keep freezing on either the maxis logo/ main menu ingame. I have tried running with administrator, combability settings etc. but still does not work. I believe my laptop spces are capable of running the game ( i5-1335U, IRIS XE graphic card). Any solution to this problem please?
Btw the background music still plays when the screen frozen
Hey there. Older games such as SimCity 2013 or The Sims 3 don't really work well with newer Intel CPUs. I had the same problem with my laptop, it wouldn't open up the two games I mentioned before.
What worked for me was installing DXVK, I even posted on Reddit about it.
The post is about The Sims 3 but I'm certain it will work for SimCity 2013, just follow the steps and put the "d3d9.dll" file inside the folder where the SimCity executable file is. (C:\Program Files\EA Games\SimCity\SimCity)
Thanks for helping. But the reddit post just lead to another reddit post which has too much reading to do😞
Can u simplify it and i believe many people would benefit from this.
Thank you for helping!
