BuildingUp and Out: Building Up's Journal (Update: 3-12-2010)

Heh, that ship issue is something I experience, though I can almost bet that you're not in the same situation as I'm in (I play in Linux).  You could try first switching between hardware or software rendering mode.  Next, you could try editing the shortcut menu target to "C:\....\SimCity 4.exe" -d:opengl.  One primary problem with OpenGL is shadows will always be low quality, regardless of the setting in options.

The target box is greyed out for me. I did try to change it to software but the game had a seizure and froze.

Next update coming soon.

[BuildingUp]

A bit of good news, first, changing it to software did actually make the game much smoother, where as before it lagged when I dragged across the town. It doesn't lag anymore.

Second, I changed the road texture to the euro style which is a lot more clean and streamlined. I hope you guys like it!

Here's another big update. (By the way, I hope these aren't too big)

Very nice batch of pictures!  For the last teaser, I would get it's by chance that those red-orange homes were built by that red-orange building.
