Quote from: BruceAtkinson on May 02, 2023, 11:08:50 AMYes version 46...not 47 as of yet.  A few more details regarding my game.  I have been running the same copy for years on two computers...a tower and a laptop.  Every time I update the one I then update the other...however about a year ago my laptop ceased to be operational with the motherboard failing.  So I have taken its hard drive out and put it in an enclosure and connect it to my Tower.  So I am able to access both copies it I wish too...however once it loads to the Region stage, and I pick a city--it will go to the city and start to load.  But only to the second, (with the message on the upper screen changing to the second message...and then CTD occurs.)  This started to happen a couple/three months back at about a 95% time of occurrence rate.
  So I am thinking that I may have to re-install the game... 
The CTD-on-city-load is often a sign of the 4GB Patch not being installed (or installed properly) with a full-blast NAM install.  It can also happen if you have other resource-intensive programs open at the same time as SC4, which can create a bottleneck for SC4 to access the RAM it needs.

Quote from: BruceAtkinson on May 01, 2023, 12:02:50 PMSimCity 4 Deluxe now crashes upon loading.  Most time it will get to the region I request, and the same with the city I ask for.  It will load the city--takes a long time and just as it starts to load the city--it CTD.
 Any suggestions?

Have you installed NAM?

Are you using the launch setting that limits CPUs to 1? If so, then start showing all launch settings, system parameters etc.

null45's Tools / Source Code for my tools
Last post by null45 - April 30, 2023, 07:29:07 AM
Here are links to GitHub repositories containing the source code for my SC4 modding tools and libraries.
Most are written in C# with a few written in C++.

Tools:

Batch Png to Fsh: https://github.com/0xC0000054/PngtoFshBatch
Multi Fsh Tool: https://github.com/0xC0000054/MultiFshTool
Fsh file Thumbnails for Windows XP, 7 and Vista: https://github.com/0xC0000054/FshThumbnailHandler
Fsh Format Plugin for Adobe® Photoshop®: https://github.com/0xC0000054/FshFormat
Gimp Fsh Filetype plugin: https://github.com/0xC0000054/Gimpsharpfsh
'Paint.NET' Fsh Filetype Plugin: https://github.com/0xC0000054/FSHfiletype
Png to Fsh Conversion tool: https://github.com/0xC0000054/PngtoFsh
  • This tool has been replaced by Batch Png to Fsh.

FSHwrite: https://github.com/0xC0000054/fshwrite
  • This is used by BAT4Max version 4.5 and later for creating FSH images.

Libraries:

FshDatIO: https://github.com/0xC0000054/FshDatIO
  • The DBPF and FSH library that my tools use.
DBPFSharp: https://github.com/0xC0000054/DBPFSharp
  • This is a fork of the DBPF code from FshDatIO that has been modified to handle any file type.
  • Interpreting the decompressed data is left up to the calling application.
