SimCity 4 and hardware rendering -- Not working.

[Segin]

As usual, I went out and found something else to test. SimCity 4 Deluxe 
works, impeckably well, but it only does software rendering (which can 
literally bring your system to it's knees). I use a patched .exe cause 
the default one didn't work for me (and this one has a no-cd deal, plus 
is smaller).

Anyways, when starting in Direct3D mode, it goes to a back window, but 
quickly flashes back to your desktop, with this debug:

err:ddraw:set_render_state Unhandled dwRenderStateType 
D3DRENDERSTATE_LINEPATTERN (0000000a) value : 00000000 !
err:ddraw:set_render_state Unhandled dwRenderStateType

D3DRENDERSTATE_VERTEXBLEND (00000097) value : 00000000 !

It then resumes loading in software rendering.

This looks like a DDraw game. I'll look at it, if there is a demo available.
