Simcity 4 Rush Hour
I just bought the expansion pack for sc4. Looks great except for it doesn't run. I Have already reinstalled the entire game. After the intro video is played and the region viewer comes up it crashes as soon as i move my mouse cursor more than 2 inches.
Wierd highpitched blips and beeps come over my speakers, and i have to unplugg the power manually.

Please request more information if needed about the crash. THere has been no error messages or reports. Also no patches for it from simcity.com

i have seen a lot of people (including myself) with this problem. I think it is only with the 9600 chipset, and i have no idea how to fix it. just wanted to let you know you weren't alone in the world, cold and lonely with no simcity.


p.s. tried turning off antialiasing which was the only solution i have seen, still have the problem

Same Problem

I have had the same problem. EA is trying to help, but I think the problem is with DirectX 9. If there is a way to reinstall DirectX 7, this may solve the problem.
