Simcty 3000 HD Patch:

---

FAQ:

Why there are two text files called original_hexdata.txt and modified_hexdata.txt in my Simcity 3000 game folder?

Before and after patching SC3U.exe executable my python script will save a log of how the data stored in the executable was before modifying it and how it is now. You are free to delete it if you want.

My game is crashing when I´m activating resolution 1600x900 or X. Why is that? Did your patch broke my game?

As stated above resolutions that are not divisible by 8 are likely to make the game unstable thus crashing it.

And No my patch didnt broke your game.

You can pick any resolution to play the game as long as its a number divisible by 8

I cant play my linux version in HD or 4k are you going to make a patch for the Linux version?

Its possible to run the game in Full HD through the sc3u.dynamic executable. With it you can play the game in resolutions such as 1080P(1920x1080) or even higher 4K. However the sc3u.dynamic is known for being unstable or not run at all in some Debian based distros dont run it well. I´ve just recently made a patch for the Windows version to run in Full HD. When I have some more free time again I will try to dig through the files of the linux version to study them more. And then I will try to make a patch for the standard linux executable of the game to run in Full HD.

In the meantime I recommend you to try to use the sc3u.dynamic to try to run it in 1080P or higher resolutions or just wait until I make a patch.

Edit: You can find the sc3u.dynamic in the folders of the game which can probably be found in usr/local/games/Simcity3000/sc3u.dynamic

Observations:

-The Script will make a backup file of the original executable(SC3U1.exe) of the game before making any changes in it
