What works
Update:
Installer
Gameplay after you use "-d:Software" to a Simcity4.exe file that contains the no-CD fix.
What does not
playing without a no-CD patch
hardware graphics emulation (you have to use the -d:Software switch on the wine command line)
SimCity4 still will throw you out ever so ofter (after 30 minutes or so) so save regularly!
Workarounds
What was not tested
Nothing
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
SimCity will sometimes flicker when you use the "?" tool. Just right click and the flicker will disappear.

| Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
By default, SimCity 4 only allows you to use resolutions up to 1280x1024, but it's very easy to use any resolution you want, just add this to your launcher/start script:
-CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32
Replace 1920x1080 with your desired resolution.
