Simcity 4 crashes randomly

Post by DoeffDoeff »

Hi there,

I've a problem with using Simcity 4.
Every time I start it it starts, but when I'm try to open a city on the map, the game crashed (closed itself). I started the game like this:

Code: Select all

DoeffDoeff@PC:~$ WINEDEBUG=-all wine C:\\Program\ Files\\SimCity\ 4\\Apps\\SimCity\ 4.exe -d:software-intro:off -CPUCount:1
(i've found this lines on an other forum)
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, an AMD dualcore processor and a nVidia onboardgraphicchip.
My wine version is 1.6.2
I hope you could help me

Your Wine version is two years old and no longer supported. Start by upgrading. http://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

The other thing is that SimCity 4 needs to be bound to one core on multicore systems (on Windows, too). I use taskset; other people have reported that schedtool works. You might want to try one or both of those methods; it's possible that -CPUCount:1 (I've never tried that method) simply doesn't work.
