I don't want to have to buy a WHOLE NEW computer JUST to be able to play one game. I did enjoy playing it yesterday when I did and I hope I didn't lose $60 being unable to do so on my own computer. What else can I do to troubleshoot this? It's been well over 6 hours and I can't find a good solution to this problem. When my company's big software product needed a 64-bit version, it took a team a whole year to get the port out, then another couple years of gathering bug. My account it not being played or used from that other computer at this time. It's great if you can start out with 64-bit only, but if you can't because of a library dependency or an order from your parent company, it's very hard to ship both a 32- and 64-bit 1.0. I am able to play it on another computer which I previously downloaded it and played it successfully yesterday. With all this, I am STILL having this error and am unable to play this game on this(/MY) computer. #4) SimCity is up to date and needs no additional repairs upon its download. #3) Computer is already set to 32 bit color initially. #2) Origin is set to update beta whenever needed.

I don't understand why this is being labeled as "Solved" when others STILL have this issue!Ĭan we have ALL possible solutions in here PLUS a link to help others in how to solve them? I would be happy to add a happy ending to my posted question/problem. Now with the lack of support to debug an issue to run the game in the first place solidifies that there are few, if any, redeeming qualities for the end customer in EA current business model.ĮA - Please prove me wrong. 0 with Directsound and/or Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4 WDM drivers 32 bit Direct X Oct 15. r/SimCity - Theres something wrong with this picture. 0 Added PowerColor Giveaway Preparing a Beige G3 for SimCity 4. I was dubious of the games dependence on origin and the server problems confirm my skepticism. I have a 64 bit machine running Windows 8.1 and the task manager shows Simcity as running in 32bit. If EA is going to charge $60 for a new release the game should work or they should provide real support (the contact game advisor for simcity produces no contacts) and not just relegate their customers to user forums that seem to be poorly supported. I'll be returning the game if EA doesn't acknowledge or fix the issue in the next few days.
#Simcity pc 32 bit color error install#
The install is from a disk for SimCity Limited Edition and not the origin download. What I assume is the intended setting is anti-aliasing mode set to 'use application settings'. However the bit about anti-aliasing option to 'application control' I could not find. As per the readme I did enable gpu scaling. Unistalling and reinstalling origin, SimCity and the graphics drivers did not fix the issue. Running SimCity Recovery doesn't seem to do anything. I have an AMD HD 7750 with the newest AMD catalyst driver a Core i5 with 12GB of RAM on Windows 7. Please ensure your display is set to 32 bit color.
