Hello,

I guess this should be a well known topic by now, but I still haven't managed to find a solution for this issue and I'm not really too keen on spending lots of time fixing technical issue so...I'm here to seek some help with this lovely game : )
Basically, I have the Sim City 4 GOG version installed on my windows 11 pc. It starts up fine, then after two intro videos game crashes. Is there a way around this issue?

You could try some of the fixes - in particular the compatibility ones - listed here:

Thank you, this was useful and now I've managed to make it work. It would be nice to integrate these plugins in a GOG patch so that users can easily access the game without checking for solutions on other forums...

I've also added a thread with that link in the SimCity sub-forum as well so that others with the same problem can find it:
