Hello Publius

To diagnose this issue you may want to detail you system settings such as Graphics, OS version... etc

That way we can get you the right info to help fix the problem.

Ok, Thanks for the screenshot

The issue you may have is that you are using Intel Integrated graphics.

If that is the case you may want to find a driver that is compatible. Intel or any integrated graphics are patchy in there support for SC4. I reccomend trying to run the game in software mode and see if there is any difference?

Hope that helps.

That's exactly how the Intel drivers for the integrated GPUs used to look, until a driver update last year that is... see this thread (http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/71755-intel-hd-graphics-users-rejoice/), a driver update should allow you to use Direct X rendering without problems now.
