Origin version Simcity 4 won't start (Win10)

★★★ Newbie

I've just bought the SimCity 4 game in Origin. I'm running a VM with Windows 10 where Origin and the SimCity game are installed.

 

However, I can't get it to work. I've searched this forum, but a lot of question go about the old (not Origin) version of the game which is not suitable for me. Also I tried almost all start-up commando's (and al sorts of combinations of these) like:

 

-f or -w (fullscreen or windowed mode)

-d:Software (to render it on software)

-BackgroundLoader:off

-Cursors:fullcolor

-Intro:off

-CPUPriority:high

-CPUCount:1

 

But none of them seem to start the game. The best luck I had with this (combination) commando:

-f -d:Software -BackgroundLoader:off -Cursors:fullcolor -Intro:off -CPUPriority:high -CPUCount:1 

 

But this only could let me run the game for 5 seconds without crashing. 

 

I've also tried playing with the VM settings; like enabling / disabling 2D and 3D rendering of the graphic card. All don't matter.

 

Can anyone help me? I'm kind of lost as I did pay for a game which I can't play now.
