Functionality - Cities can now accept raw materials directly from resources properly.
What does this mean? Delivering ore to a city that has ore->steel, steel->cars will get you cars ?

No, it's a mod thing. We discovered, as a result of making the Santa scenario, that the game didn't like it when you had cities accept raw natural resources (like having cities accept coal, oil, or grain, for example). Since none of the retail scenarios did this, we never saw the behavior.Weps wrote:Functionality - Cities can now accept raw materials directly from resources properly.

Have you tried enabling error logging? I have *no* idea why it worked, but I was able to play MUCH longer if I did.Wingo wrote:I sicerely do hope there are some hidden patches that will let it run more than an hour or so without freezing. I may be a minority here but I still can't play for too long without either a CTD or simply being locked up.
Curiously enough, I'm having so much fun with it I've been tolerating the crashes and taking advantage of the autosaves to keep on trucking.

I have a factory-overclocked videocard (BFG Geforce 7600 GT OC 256mb) in my main machine, and the game runs sweet - EXCEPT for the water glitches - sometimes it's dark blue, sometimes it's light blue w/sun glare, other times it's purple!Bleser wrote:I only expierienced lock-ups when I was overclocking my video card.

Without the overclocking the game has never frozen or CTD once.
My old card (7800GS AGP) was factory overclocked from eVGA as well, and ran flawlessly as such. But I pushed its limits even further and that is when I started to lock up after an hour or two of play.recca421 wrote:I have a factory-overclocked videocard (BFG Geforce 7600 GT OC 256mb) in my main machine, and the game runs sweet - EXCEPT for the water glitches - sometimes it's dark blue, sometimes it's light blue w/sun glare, other times it's purple!Bleser wrote:I only expierienced lock-ups when I was overclocking my video card.

Doesn't affect playability any, though.
Well, I'm not sure it is the ads, that is just what someone else had said a while back. I noticed the forums to be very slow after installing IE7 - until I turned the phishing filter off, which restored things back to normal.Falconer wrote:Considering that the ads are from renomated networks like Google and Amazon only, I find that unlikely.

true ....but the tabbed browseing i did not care for either....Bleser wrote:Well, you can turn it off... I still highly recommend IE7.jaromon wrote:the phishing filter is the one reason i did not install IE7...i was at a friends house he has ie7 and a faster more stable internet conection than i do and pages loaded slow....
