Implemented 'Auto-Detection' when finding the 'Simcity 4.exe', it searches the parent directory and all sub-directories for the executable - this makes the Launcher a little more forgiving in relation to where it is installed (Still needs to be in the Simcity 4 install directory). Dramatically altered the GUI, now tab sheet based. Attempted further fixes for the #ER0/1/2 Bug. Implemented an Auto-Updater that will keep the Launcher up to date without having to re-download from the STEX. Set-up Subversion system, expect more updates soon! # V1.4.0b - R9 - External Revision - STEX # V1.4.1b - R10 - External Revision - STEXīegan work on a new SC4 Discovery Module (Delayed) Tweaked Code for Compatibility and Efficiency. # V1.5.0 - R11 - External Revision - UpdaterĪdded a Seamless/Borderless Fullscreen Window Mode. # V1.5.4 - R12 - External Revision - Updater/ STEXĪdded disabled mods folder path to paths tab.Īdded auto-detect for disabled mods folder.Īdded manual overrides & autodetect buttons.Īdded a small non-intrusive advert to the about tab.Ĭode refactoring and tidying (needs cont.). A virus scan is also attached below, for those of you who wish to have peace of mind. I have packaged the software into an installer that should automatically detect your Simcity Installation folder, but if it doesn't, please give it a nudge in the right direction. I am aware that many of the tech savvy among you will have no use for this, as many of the features are easily enabled through command line switches, but, some of the community might benefit from this, at-least, I hope they will. A simple mod-manager to allow you to quickly enable & disable mods. The all important Force Draw On Scroll Fix. Render Mode Selection (DirectX, OpenGL or Software). Loading & Saving of last used Configuration. Ability to change the number of Logical Cores used. Auto-Save Feature with Interval selection. Quick Launch (Launch instantly with the latest settings). Auto-Update Feature to negate the need to constantly check the STEX. I decided to register and release it here as this seems like a place in which a large amount of people may benefit from it. SC4Launcher allows certain settings and stability issues to be set/solved before the game is launched. But this left me wandering just how many people have had this problem and just lived with it because they didn't want to go messing with the over-complicated Simcity files, and this then spurred me on to create something I called 'SC4Launcher'. I did a little tinkering and found that EA/Maxis actually enabled an additional option within the 'Graphic Rules' file for ATI Cards, I changed the options around and voila! solved. One of the big issues I was having was Trees & Scenery disappearing when scrolling in game - this was due to the fact that I was using an AMD card (HD 7870 OC) and for some reason this registered with Simcity as a low-end ATI card (which it is most certainly not). So I recently got back into playing Simcity 4, but had been experiencing some technical difficulties due to the age of the game, I did a little research and found out that it was not my hardware at fault (which I knew as I had only just upgraded it) but was in fact the settings within the game. I'm pretty new here, but here it goes anyway.
