![]() ![]() Nearby upgraded sugar farms (up to +30) or cattle ranches/factory farms (up to +20).Hiring certain managers such as Foremen or Tycoon (see Dynaster/Manager section for details)īesides that there are also some building-type specific modifiers or special buildings that can increase effectiveness:.Building upgrades many buildings have upgrades that increase their effectiveness, keep in mind that those may only pay off after a while.Ensure a building is fully staffed between -100 and 0.Increase building budget (also see Building Budget section).Many buildings have their own effectiveness modifiers (often noted in the description of the building), so for example a farm's effectiveness gets modified by fertality (and pollution), but not beauty. After that you can pick whatever res you want and it won't complain.There are many influencing factors for effectiveness and it often varies a lot on the building type. The key is giving the game a default resolution to run in one time, then flipping it to run in windowed mode and exiting so it saves the setting. Tropico 4 is now happily running on a huge triple-portrait setup. Then I could launch the game, go to the resolution setting, and choose *ANY* resolution the video driver claimed was supported (up to and including 3240x1920). That will get the game to launch in any display config, no matter what.Īfter that, I re-rotated back to portrait, and re-enabled eyefinity to get my standard resolution and orientations back. I then launched the game and changed it from a specific resolution to "Windowed" resolution (at the top of the resolution list). What I did was 1) Disable the eyefinity group, and 2) rotate all the displays back to landscape. My native resolution was 3240x1920, which the game just didn't know how to handle. In my case, I have an eyefinity setup of three portrait 1920x1080 monitors. Your monitor MUST be in one of these resolutions (or support it in normal landscape mode) for the game to launch correctly. It refuses to launch and will throw an error message if it can't create a DX window for the game in one of the three following resolutions: 1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x800. Update to my prior post: I was able to work around this issue, here are the details of how to fix it for non-standard resolutions: A codec from another game/pack can cause this also. This seems to be the most common problem. There is no reason it should not run, but I suspect possible screen res issue. do a steam verify check first though to see if it found something then reinstall. Some reported this worked as it got corrupted somehow. did Ctrl+_ALT+DEL and shut down every process running short of killing off windows?ĭeleted the game, reg keys and did a fresh install. Nothing else running? firewalls windows/other lots of antivirus programs also stop this. This res won't allow you to log in though. If it at least loads in this res then you know the issue. Tried running it in 640x840 and disable all the themes in that short cut? with run as admin. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Tropico 4\Tropico4.exe" /safe You tried a different desktop res like 1024x768? tried to start it in safe mode through short cut? So, all video drivers and what not updated? You don't have any extra codec's that were installed to run video's or old games? Old games are horrible at just overwriting stuff they don't need to. I know mumble gave users the same problem, and something called Iminent conflicts with it starting. So, There is something messing with the launcher. tried all compatibility modes like vista/xp and such. Well, sounds like you covered most of your bases. What a stupid and confusing solution, but it worked. Somehow this worked, and my achievements are even showing up properly now. I set the game's compatibility to windows XP service pack 2. I tried something totally out of the ballpark. I only got to play the game once before it stopped working! Since this is steam and my likelyhood of getting a refund is nill, I am growing frustrated. I did spot your thread on the support page and tried every suggestion there, and nothing helped. I can't even make a crash log or anything since no crash seems to happen. I have tried everything to fix it, even things from the actual support page, and nothing has helped. I do see it on the task manager for a few seconds. I even get the steam ad pop-up after the exe just auto-closes. When I came back, the game refused to work. Then I closed things down to go eat dinner. I downloaded it, installed, loaded the game, and played for a few hours. Hey I am having the exact same problem as you. ![]()
