Sim City 4: "Hardware drive error, could not initialize DirectDraw" ?
Hello! Have just bough this Sim City 4 CD and installed it on to my machine. I try to open it and get the error message as in the title. Then I click ok, then it loads a black blank page and then quits the program. Also did the same with Sim City 3000, no error message this time when loading the program but it just hangs. Anyone know what it is please and how to fix it? ThanksNEED SOLUTION ON SIMCITY NEEDS ORIGIN ERROR MESSAGE!!!
I have SimCity 2013 and have been playing for years. Just last month I now get an error message that "SimCity requires Origin to function. The program must now close" and forces me to close the game. Then it tells me to install Origin. Why is this happening? Can someone help with this problem? I thought Origin went away Someone please helpAccount
When I redownloaded SimCity and then wanted to play my old account, I had a lot of accounts and the account I wanted to play was at the bottom part The problem is I can't move to that account because it's not in the first place of all the accounts I have Maybe there are tips?, to be able to switch to that account without having to delete all the previous accounts in the sequence. I also hope that SimCity can make it easier to change accounts Note: account is only associated with google play Sorry if my English is baderror 17 - cannot connect to server
after the most recent upgrade for the mass transit building, i have been unable to connect to server. running simcity buildit, running on an android 9" pad error 17 - cannot connect to server comes up and it only allows me to play offline which we all know when playing offline you cannot do any train dispatches or weekly assignments or compete in war games with other teams i have uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice and i've also cleared the cache please advise is there is anything left to do, before i leave the game for good thanks.
SimCity 2013 unable to launch
Hi, I own SimCity 2013 (Complete Edition) on my EA account and it has been unable to launch. When I click Play, I get "This game requires administrative privileges" followed by "Failed to launch game - An error on our end caused the launch to fail." I have tried every known fix: reinstalling the game, reinstalling EA App, clearing cache, running as administrator, compatibility modes, disabling antivirus/firewall, patching the exe manifest, and installing Origin. Nothing works.simcity apparently already playing
just downloaded simcity and it wont play. i checked that my laptop met all the requirements and it does. i click to run the game and it says im not connected to the internet, which i am, and asks me if i want to continue single-player or quit. clicking single player does nothing, it returns to my desktop and if i click to run the game again, it says the games already running. ive tried rebooting my laptop but still the same issue. whats going on? why wont it run? can anyone help please? 🙏
My EA Account is a bit messy
Hi folks, I just realized that my EA account lost all the order history (I only have a "quest_item" listed there without any value), and I am not being able to play some games. I have the licenses since I bought them and played before, but now I can't download anymore because it says that I can't download since I have to buy it (the actual message is in the attached print screen). I don't have the order history to proof I bought it anymore either. Just my screen that displays I own the game as you can see in the attached image. Do you guys know how to proceed? I am having issues with: SimCity Limited Edition Battlefield 3 The Sims 3 The other games at least are installing and working, but still is kind of bizarre.
