SimCity: Societies Update #3

[Joe Forster/STA]

Having a specific version of Windows on your PC really is a configuration issue. (Remember cracks that worked only on Windows XP but not on Windows 2000, while the original game officially supported both. The expression "configuration" might not be appropriate in this case but, you see, neither is "not at all".)

Also, if you think that professional crackers are visiting this forum and will listen to you complaints... well...

I managed to try it out on Win Vista 32 as well.

This is what I found:

>> on Win XP SP2 - it doesn't work no matter what I do. Kick it, curse it, throw the computer out the window, it just won't work.
>> on Win Vista 32 - it works.

The Vista however does pop up a window saying due to an issue with Vista and video memory you may need to install this update http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940105 before it lets you play. You need to hit OK to dismiss the popup window and the game kicks in. But that might deppend on your hardware configuration, wether or not you get the notice.

Now, that doesn't help me since I use Win XP on my computer, but if others want to try it out, have Vista for this crack.

At least they should mention it's for Vista only when they put it out.

I wasn't complaining about the crack. I also know that the crackers don't read the board. However, as I said, others should know it doesn't work...also, word DOES get back to the crack team. Other cracks they have released and then fixed later proves it. It may not come from THIS site, but it does happen.
