Question: Do office buildings count as commercial or industrial? I can't remember. They're blue like commercial, but grouped with industrial. If my city wants commercial, will they count?

End of day update.
Population 65k; 2M in the Bank; just built an airport.
Your image is in 4k resolution but rendered in 1920x1200, what gives?

Unless he's on a laptop, which I don't think he is, I don't see how he would even be able to use the integrated graphics. They're completely different monitor outputs on the back of the computer.
Not saying that the integrated graphics couldn't still mess up his performance some other way, but that's mighty weird. And yes, integrated graphics should be turned off at the BIOS level when a discreet graphics card is installed.
Someone way earlier in the thread said his game ran terribly and then he noticed it was using his integrated graphics
Cheers, I'm just gonna try. Hopefully I can pull off at least medium settings then.

I think that's been a common issue with laptop users with this game.

So, Im looking at my INTEL HD Graphics in Device Manager...should I be trying to disable it? The option is unavailable
Edit:
OK I got it...should I disable my Intel HD Graphics 4000? What if it causes problems?

Right, that was on a laptop though, where the motherboard has both installed and uses the integrated graphics to save power when not playing graphically-intensive games. Sometimes the motherboard doesn't correctly switch over to the discrete graphics when it's supposed to, so it must be forced.
It's not possible to switch between the two on a desktop, they're completely separate monitor outputs.

You should disable it, but it has to be done at the BIOS level, which you can only access when you first turn on your computer. Usually you have to hit F2 or delete to enter BIOS setup, and from there it's just down to what brand of motherboard you have to determine where you need to go to shut off integrated graphics.
The only way it would cause problems is if you've had your monitor hooked up to the motherboard the whole time, instead of the graphics card.

My industrial base is collapsing. I think my workers might be too educated.. Abandoned buildings popping up as fast as I can get rid of them.

Thanks for the answer... I'm guessing I can easily open up my tower to change this connection around...
Um, so... I hit F2... enter BIOS...how do I disable from there?
I've got the late 2013 13 inch rMBP. i5-4258U, 8 gigs of ram, and the intel iris 5100
its nothing short of a miracle, but at least I can still run TF2 at 60 ;D
I'm gonna need screenshots of what you're working with ASAP
Hah! I don't have a mouse so I haven't built so much on my laptop, I'm impressed that the game is running on it
Open your tower? You don't need to open your tower to switch your monitor cable.
In the bios you want to look around for the menu that show syou "onboard GPU" or something like that. Without knowing what your BIOS looks like,we can't really help.
It probably says "integrated graphics adapter" or something and you can set it to "disabled"
I'm pretty sure they count as industrial. If you hover over the industrial demand bar it says as much.
Wait....is C:SL the only game which runs shitty or do all your games?
Is your monitor connected to the motherboard or the graphicscard?

Other games Ive played have run fine... like Bioshock...
Cities is not smooth even on lower settings. I dont know what my monitor is connected to.
On top of this, I cant even enter BIOS because my monitor doesnt turn on fast enough, and I tried to press F2 but the monitor just was blank...might be some power save setting mode, but I cant even turn that off because this new monitor seems to have faulty buttons...
lol, geez, sorry for dragging this thread down. Would really like some help here. I'm afraid of what happens if I disable through BIOS...what if my monitor is connected to INTEL and not AMD?
just press f2 while it boots up,you don't actually have to see it on your monitor.
and all you do is change your monitor cable.
who installed this PC for you? is this even your PC? It seems you have never really done anything with it.

Have you had a look at the back of case to see where the monitor is plugged in? I find in most standard PC cases the onboard GPU out will be with all the other fancy outputs taking up the top of the backside, your LAN port and some audio outs perhaps, whereas the separate GPU will be taking up a slot below all that wank. Might be worth a shot!

The realest of deals. An 89% on Metacritic agrees.
It's $21.89 right now on greenmangaming.com/vip
I've only played it for 2-3 hours and it is well worth the money for me. Really scratches the city building itch.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!
I plugged into the AMD Graphics card and OH WOW EVERYTHING IS SO SMOOTH! Running everything on highest settings and it's still super smooth
Wow, all I had to do was plug it in!
I will name my districts after those of you who helped :')
Lol. A friend help me built it.
I must have pulled the plug when trying to connect to my TV and put it in the Intel one
Oh man, I am loving this game so much more now that everything is so smooth
I WAS PLAYING IN 20 FPS ON LOWEST SETTINGS.

Anyway....have fun now

While you are at it, name one of your incinerators HD 4000 Integrated Graphics.
Wait, a HD4000 integrate chip runs Bioshock? I... wouldn't have expected that.
On what settings were you playing?
While we're on hardware, I wanted to upgrade my PC later this year, but well, seing how the game always crashes for me... I guess I'll upgrade this WE.

Beautiful.
I have twisty turny roads like that myself but I'm still working on making my town looks like a metropolis.
----
So far my town has grown with no major hick ups. I'm making a lot of money, taxing moderately. Only expanding when there is absolute demand, and doing those expansions small just so I don't have to bull doze and risk unhappiness. I have all services except of a train and airplane... The money flow is tight. My only issue is always power. Ugh...

Woo, reached 100k
Pics! We demand pics!
I'm also running into the issue of my industry continually complaining of a lack of (uneducated) workers. Overeducated people will take the jobs but it doesn't seem to consistently happen fast enough before the industry abandons the buildings. I'm trying to upgrade the building levels to get around the issue. The higher the industry level, the more demand for educated workers.

Haha, no no, I am sure I was plugged into AMD when I played Bioshock.
God I'm so embarrassed lol.
Damn, I just remembered I played WoW for the first time last month with low everything and choppy framerate, and thought my graphics was outdated. Geez.
i dont wanna use mods because it disables achievements ._.

Since I don't think anyone answered this question someone posted, how do you delete save files?
TimeEffect
Member
I had problems too but restarted it bus routes. Just place a starting point anywhere. Then click around for stops, eventually connecting back to your initial starting point to close the loop.
The bus depots store buses, but don't act as necessary points where buses return to (unlike something like landfills where trucks need to go back to).
Buses stick to routes.
Not sure about Metro.
Go into the mod management page on the start screen and there is a save file tab at the top, or something similar. You can delete them in there.
It looks terrible, I know
Nothing like the beautiful structured, neat cities of some others here

Watching this because if I start playing before work I'll never leave, This was made by 20 people on Unity!?
Holy shit balls. EA should be embarrassed.
Colossal Order indeed!
