Good luck.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. The same goes for minimizing the game if your processor seems to remain chill and doesn't act up, you're fine, but if it starts heating up, something's wrong.

If it does, I wouldn't continue playing the game if I were you. If it doesn't heat up (your computer), I'd say you're fine. Assign only one CPU to the game and play it. I would follow the above poster's guidelines - it appears that old games as this one don't run well on multiple processors. I could be wrong though, but seeing that the game is non-3D and older than TS2, I don't think it'd cause as much strain as playing Deluxe on it. I don't think you would be required to have a strong graphics card to handle something as easy as SC4. I've uninstalled the game ever since, and I haven't installed it again, merely because I shat my own pants now that I re-read what I wrote above. It's the same computer I play TS2 on, and the same one I'm typing on now so I'd say it's survived the worst. For around a week straight, I've only checked emails on it, and done nothing that would cause stress to it. I think what it really needed was just to be shut down for a day or so. The computer, thank goodness, worked fine ever since. It makes me think I should maybe only use it as a tool to create terrains on, and never actually play it. How did it work out? Did it destroy your computer, or did you manage to recover it. (It's a Packard Bell netbook with an Intel integrated graphics chip, but I've being playing The Sims 2 (Double Deluxe) successfully on it for 18 months, so I assumed it would have no trouble with an even older game.). I chose the base game version of SimCity 4 rather than the Deluxe version, because I was thinking about my computer's limited graphics capabilities. I started looking for anything about SimCity 4 on MTS, and your thread was the first thing I found. So, having bought a version of it, I thought I might as well try playing it. I really bought it to be able to create my own terrains for The Sims 2, but I admit I was attracted to SimCity when it was new, but never got round to buying it. They didn't have it, but they did have copies of SimCity 4, and I bought one for £2.50 (about 3 Simoleons in the currency we all understand!). I went to our local games exchange today looking for Sims 2 Open For Business.

Taken from Sorry to revive this old thread, but it certainly has me worried! (While the game was assigned to all four processor cores, all four of them were handling the game nicely (little to no activity), but the game would crash after time.) Does anyone know why, and how I can stop that? and up.īasically, SimCity 4 is frying my processors. I played for awhile (tried to recreate what I made yesterday), minimized the game and turned on task manager. The next day (I haven't turned my computer on ever since), I tried switching which core was handling SC4 - when the game launched, I opened task manager and under Afinity (or something like that - my system is on Croatian) instead of CPU0 I checked CPU1. I shut down SC4, turned off and unplugged the laptop, and let it sit for awhile. only one of my CPU cores (the one that was handling SC4) was at 100% (but it would run even higher I believe, if it had space). then I noticed my laptop's fan is going crazy!! I checked my task manager to see what's causing the issue. I came back to my room to play the game again, but I smelled smoke. But unfortunately, that wasn't the case with SC4. Usually, Sims2, Sims3 or SimsCS sits quietly in the background, causing no lag at all while I'm using other apps, and they barely use any processors.

I decided to have some lunch, so I minimized the game by pressing the Windows button on my keyboard. Woke up the next day and continued playing, everything was perfect (though I was a little worried if the game would crash again or not, so I've been saving the game every 20 minutes). I started the game again, and it was all fine. (I've done it by placing -CPUCount:1 at the end of the shortcut target.) It was just a matter of telling the system to allow only one processor core to handle the game. Luckily, I've found what the problem was. That's why the game crashes every 15 minutes to two hours (how long I have managed to keep it running this way).

The game is so old, that it doesn't know how to respond to being handled by four processors.

I'm running SimCity 4 Deluxe on my Windows 7 with Intel i5 processor (4 cores).
