Issues fixed

Set maximum frame rate

Cities in Motion does not limit FPS by default. This can potentially cause overheating of your computer.

FPS limiting[citation needed]
Go to the configuration files and save game data location. Open settings.script. Fine the line $fpsLimit = 0.0; and set it to the desired value.

Poor performance

Since the game engine is poorly optimized, the game may have trouble on many computers.

The following settings might make a difference in performance.

Poor performance[citation needed]
Use system cursor instead. Disable vertical sync.

Game doesn't load

If the game will not load, try forcing the game to run in a window.

Game doesn't load[citation needed]
Go to the configuration files and save game data location. Open settings.script. Change $fullscreen = true; to $fullscreen = false;.

Running on ATI/AMD cards

If you are running the game on an ATI/AMD card, then placing an older version of an ATI DLL file in the installation folder may allow it to work.

Running on ATI/AMD cards[citation needed]
Download the necessary .DLL file here. Go to where the game is installed and copy that DLL file there. If the game still doesn't work, go to the configuration files location and delete settings.script.
