I posted this over on ST but wanted to make sure SC4D got in on this as well. Hopefully I'm doing this whole posting thing right, it's been a while since I've been here.
What does this do- Resolves a crash-to-desktop when hovering NAM puzzle pieces over transit-enabled lots.
- Allows other DLLs to load into SC4's memory without a GZCOM framework.
RequirementsThis fix is made for versions 640 and 641 of SimCity 4 on Windows. Version 640 is a fully-patched SC4 retail copy, and version 641 is a fully-patched digital distribution version (i.e. Steam, Origin, GOG). v641 was tested by myself on Steam, and other users have reported success with GOG.
If your version of SC4 is unsupported, an error message will appear with update instructions, and no changes will be made to your game.
InstallationDownload from
the STEX or
GitHub and simply unzip the DLL to your My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins folder.
To see if SC4Fix is working properly, check the title of your game window. If you are playing in fullscreen mode, alt-tab out and hover over the SimCity taskbar icon. The titlebar will show "SC4Fix (version #)" if loaded properly.
