SimCity 4 crashes after loading city
Posted: 10. Nov 2010, 20:02
Host: Xubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Guest: Windows XP
VBOX: 3.2.10 PUEL
Host video ram: 512MB
Guest video ram: 128MB
Guest ram: 3072MB
Card: ATI Radeon HD 3200
I have the drivers installed for Linux, and they work fairly well in the host.
"Enable 3d acceleration" and "Enable 2d video acceleration" are checked in Display settings
3.2.10 Guest Additions were installed in safe mode on the guest
dxdiag reports that DirectDraw and Direct3D work
I have the game installed and updated to .638. The game launches, and an error message appears:
DirectDraw failed to initialize.
I'm able to continue past this error (I have -intro:off specified on the game's command line) and enter the game.
At the region screen, I decide to load the Big City: about 20 seconds into the load, the game crashes. Happens every time.
I tried the Getting Started Tutorial. I'm able to load and start working with the city, but as zoom as I've created the Commercial zone the game crashes.
VirtualBox continues running just fine.
Any ideas?
