For my computer, if the population is over 3 millions, the game will become very low. Some posts said that i t causes by low-end CPU or GPU. They may be true, as the game really needs high degree of calculation. However, if the game becomes slow after a period of time and your city has huge population, the problem maybe lack of RAM. Please be reminded that, for a computer over 4GB of RAM also will have this problem.
The reason is that this game is a 32-bit program. It can only use maximum 4GBof memory. In addition, the game cannot automatically clean the RAM. It is easy to prove. When you are playing the game and feel it becomes slow. Then, please see the memory usage. In my experiment, the usage will always be nearly 100%.
Maybe, after reading the above, most of you will say that there is no solution for such program limitations!! NO!! I find one.
((PS: The requirement is you have over 4GB RAM.))
In the past, we all used 32-bit program including Windows with only few RAM (comparing to now). If the programs needed lots of memory, how did they run? So, programmers designed Virtual Memory (VM). They use HDD to replace RAM to save the data. In fact, when you are playing the game, it sometime uses VM. VM can really provide high capacity but not speed. Then, how about moving VM to relatively fast memory such as RAM?
We just need to create RAMDISK and move VM into it. Then, the 32-bit game can use over 4GB of RAM. My city revives!! I can play it with normal speed for a long time!!
PS: You all can type Chinese, I will understand.
