![]() ![]() I do apologize that it does not function on your operating system but I don't think there's anything we can do about that next time always look to see what operating system the game can Run on. I mean come on we're talking about 10 years ago technology has come a long way since then. basically what I'm saying is it was the best coding that was available during the time. not even the new city skylines has given emergency vehicles or right of way and/or included a you drive it. but back in the 2000 when this game is released what coding was brilliant it was the first city building game that allowed you to drive cars it was also the fist game that gave emergency vehicles the right of way no game has ever done that to present. this game work well back in those days I remember it I remember standing in queue for a half an hour to purchase this game from PC world. so lets get back on topic back in the days when this game was made there was no such thing as Windows 7 8 8.1 And 10 they never thought that they would get that high. I'm going to save you a lot of time and trouble do not update to Windows 10 you take it how you want it! I have 3 friends that are licensed computer programmers they say Windows 10 and Windows 8 + 8.1 operating system is absolute garbage. There is a chance still it will crash in single core too, just later on, and a lower chance due to the lack of real concurrency (but still it can get out of synchronisation). This is why you see the game crash faster on multi-core and later on in single core. The chances of that happening in a real parallel (multi-core) environment are increased with real concurrency. Sounds like that is the reason, what happens with multi threaded apps is they are run in sequencial order taking turns on a single CPU core, there is a chance that the bad or lack of proper synchronisation mechanisms (semaphores, monitors etc) they end up trampling over each other and data gets corrupted and pointers can get bad and out of sync in the timing. I dont know, all i know is that the game does not work well on multi core processors unless you restrict it to a single core. ![]() Originally posted by The Muppet Surgery Special:So basically the game has multi-threading without good synchronisation causing crashing on multi-core where there is a higher chance of being out of thread sync? Perhaps there's no easy fix, but that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm frustrated with my inane understanding of computers, and I'm left wondering why I can't play my purchased Steam game. I've been running through forum for a few hours. I have to open task manager and kill it from there. If I click on it, I get the black screen again and then back to my desktop shortly thereafter. It's icon sits on my taskbar like it's running, but when I hover my mouse over it, all I see is a miniatured black screen. SimCity 4 Deluxe opens to a black screen for about 2 seconds, then returns to my desktop as if nothing happened. I downloaded the game, and tried playing it just like every other Steam game I have. I remember really enjoying this game in middle school, so I bought it when I saw it 75% off. To start this, I'd like to get it out there that I am not computer savvy at all. ![]()
