SimCity 4 has a lot of problems of its own that cause it to Crash to the Desktop quite often. However, the failure to provide more than one back buffer makes it hard to run large cities, and has gotten past annoyance for me, at least. Here is my latest log, from initiation of the game to the point where I finally killed it because the graphics had gone crazy again. My system has MB of graphics adadpter memory. Something is going radically wrong, and the wine monitor is aware of it, but does nothing. fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 94 (SPI_GETMOUSETRAILS) fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32efd8,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32ef04,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f5bc,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f2e4,0x00000000), stub! fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16 [u]fixme:d3d:swapchain_init The application requested more than one back buffer, this is not properly supported.
