EA and Maxis have prepared the first patch for the recently released SimCity 4. The patch is applied by a rather unique Active X plug-in installer. Haven't seen such a 'patch routine' before. Most importantly this patch adds (enhanced) support for ATI R300 based graphics cards. If you click here you will be taken to the SimCity 4 patch setup page or click on read more for the changelog first. This patch resolves the following issues: Fixed crash related to conflict between MySim and Transportation Pack. Fixed crash related to SIS video chipsets. Fixed several broken links in advisor messages. Fixed car zots to display properly. Fixed bug where the catalog was showing the incorrect capacity for the Recycling Center. Fixed bug where industry development would occur even when commuters could not reach the zone. Added support for ATI Radeon R300 series that add backing store capability. Added option to turn off auto-road when zoning behavior by holding the shift-key while zoning. Added option to change orientation of lots when zoning by holding the alt-key while zoning. Added whales. Retuned pollution values for airports and seaports. Port efficiency is now displayed correctly. Airport upgrading now works correctly (based on current use). Freight trains can now drop cargo at ports. New zone graphics now better indicate the front of lots.
