Issues fixed

FPS limiting Cities in Motion does not limit FPS by default. This can potentially cause overheating of your computer. Fortunately, there is a way to limit FPS. Open settings.script, found in the game data folder, in your text editor of choice. 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. 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. Open settings.script, found in the game data folder, in your text editor of choice. Find the line $fullscreen = true;, and set it 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. Download the necessary .dll file here. Navigate to where the game is installed and copy that DLL file there. Alternatively: If the previous doesn't work, try deleting the settings.script file which can be found in the game data folder.
